With the coronavirus pandemic in full swing, many people are taking to their homes for safety. While this is a smart move, it can also lead to cabin fever. One way to combat this is by redecorating your home. Here are four top reasons from atimeoutformommy to do so.

You Can Give Your House the Facelift It Deserves

Some houses are so dilapidated that it feels like a wind blow or a slight rain could cause them to crumble. If your home is in dire need of a facelift, there’s no better time than now to do it.

With everyone at home, you won’t have to worry about contractors coming in and out, making noise, and to disrupt your peace. Even when it means there will be so much noise during the construction, you will be set knowing that you will have a place you can call home that suits your taste and preference.

You Can Turn Your House into a Home

If you’ve just moved into a new house or apartment, it doesn’t feel like home yet. Use this time to add your personal touch to the place and make it feel more like YOU. Whether that means adding photos to the walls or painting the living room your favorite color, take this opportunity to turn your house into a home.

You Can Create a Cozy Reading Nook

Now is your chance if you love to read but don’t have the space (or the furniture) to create a cozy reading nook. With everyone home, you can finally clear out that spare room or corner of the living room and turn it into the reading oasis of your dreams. Add a comfy chair, a soft blanket, and all your favorite books, and you’ll be set.

You Can Finally Get Rid of That Ugly Couch

We’ve all been there. You buy a couch because it’s cheap and looks decent enough, but after a few years (or even months), it starts to show its true colors…literally. The fabric tears, the stuffing comes out, and it looks plain ugly. Now is the time if you’ve wanted to get rid of that couch for a while.

The coronavirus has made us all take a good hard look at our stuff and realize that we don’t need half of it. If your home is cluttered with junk that you never use, it is time to get rid of it. Redecorating will give you a chance to start fresh while others are still hoarding junk.
