The Importance Of A Well Decorated Home

Everyone wants their house to feel like a home. They want to come home after a long day of work and feel relaxed and rejuvenated, total comfortable in their space and surroundings. Part of this is related to physical comfort – and why things like a mattress sale should be taken seriously because, after all, what provides more comfort than your bed – and part is related to home decor. The way you decorate your home, the quality furniture you use, and the way different rooms come together can all reflect the personality of you and your family. Unfortunately, however, up to 80% of people in the United States are not happy with their home decor. And up to 15% feel even more extremely, saying that the way their home is decorated actually makes them feel stressed out and gloomy.

Some of this stems from the fact that even though up to 80% of all Americans say that they feel that the quality of their furniture is highly important, almost half of all Americans haven’t updated their furniture in at least five years (and almost ten percent of those surveyed haven’t updated or replaced furniture in ten or more years). Furniture, from living room furniture to bedroom furniture, does not last for ever. A couch can last up to fifteen years if cared for well, but after that should really be replaced. And an arm chair has an average lifespan of only ten years or so.

Replacing furniture can be expensive, it’s true, so it’s important to keep your eye out for good deals. A mattress sale, for example, can help to drastically reduce the price of a new mattress. A mattress sale is important for this reason, as most people prefer to buy their mattresses new and would be uncomfortable purchasing a used one. A mattress sale is not the only place to get a good deal on new or used furniture, however. In fact, there are many places to get furniture at a discounted rate, like an outdoor furniture sale, for example. Yard sales and garage sales are often great places to get distinctive items that will really give your home personality, as well.

No matter what your personal style, it’s important to have a home that you feel adequately reflects that. A home that does not feel homey or is not decorated in the way that you wish it would be can actually have a negative effect on your overall mood, compared to a house that you feel is well decorated that can actually lift your mood. There are ways to update your home decor on a budget as well, from looking at a mattress sale to going to outdoor furniture sales.
