Make the Most out of Your Quarantine

Posted in

This pandemic is throwing everyone off their normal routines. We have to start doing things we are not used to, like wearing masks, spraying our hands with alcohol every so often, or staying in our apartments from days on end. Our team at Borboleta bag would like to send you love and good thoughts. We will get through this together!

For now we would like to share with you ideas on how to make the most of your time at home. Let’s decorate and organize our homes so that our time there will be fun and happy.

1. Find inspirations

Start with finding the style of rooms you like. You can find gorgeous ideas on Pinterest.

Find out which style fits your mood and vibes and don’t forget that you can add your own elements to the style as well.

2. Keep only what you need and donate the rest.

One of the key elements of a beautiful home is a home that is not cluttered. While you organize your home, you can really think about which items you’d like to keep and discard. You may have heard of Marie Kondo. She recommends that if you hold an item and it doesn’t “spark joy” anymore, then it’s time to donate it.

3. Clean and organize the remaining items.

Now that you have only the things that mean something to you, it’s time to clean and organize better. You can clean the corners that have been neglected. You can arrange furnitures and organize the shelves. You may paint the walls or put up a wallpaper to make the room look newer. Or hang paintings or photos on the empty walls to add a little something more interesting to the empty space.

4. Get rid of old things to make room for better new things. 

Just because some things have been with you forever, doesn’t mean that they are a good fit anymore. You lifestyle may have changed over the years. It’s best to really see if what you have still fit your lifestyle. If not you can donate them and buy new things. You can also browse second hand stores or website (like Craigslist.org). Don’t forget to disinfect with alcohol before you bring anything new in the house.

5. Recommended items

We highly recommend you to have one tall mirror and a shelf or rack for accessories. This way you can keep your things organized.
