Fresh flowers are lovely but sometimes you need to cover the fundamentals first.
1 Food | A Well Stocked Fridge
It’s plain brain candy. Eating is one of the great sensual pleasures in life so coming home to an empty fridge after a long hard day, won’t be very comforting. Devote some to keep a well stocked fridge to stimulate the pleasure and reward centres in your brain the minute you get home.
2 Internet | A Fast Broadband Service
After electricity and running water, the internet has become the most important utility for most people in the western world. Our downtime funnilly enough revolves around our laptops,so when you get home and ready to relax a poor internet service will be at the very least annoying.
3 Space | Room for your Hobbies
Even if you live in a studio apartment make sure you have enough space to enjoy your hobbies. I doesn’t have to be a hobby room or a fully equiped workshop. All it takes is a little creative thinking to repurpose a small part of your existing space into a hobby corner where you can turn off your phone and escape.
4 Spruceness | A Tidy Environment
An organized pile of personal clutter may be a part of your busy lifestyle I get it ( I don’t), but if you spend 15 minutes each day to tidy up, you will be gratefull when you get back home. Make the bed as soon as you get up, rehung the clothes you wore,hung the towels in the bathroom,and clean as you go instead of dedicating a full weekend to it.
I hope you’ve found these tips helpfull and to hear from you soon!
I live in a dorm and at first I found it difficult to make it feel like “home.” But then I started putting up framed art and placing picture frames around my room and now I love it! It amazing how the little things can make such a difference.
It totally makes a difference. House vs. home. My first apartment was not decorated but had all the things I needed. My next apartment, my sister came the week I moved in and helped me decorate it and it made coming home so much more enjoyable!
Great post! This is so me, I love having company so a tidy home with free wifi access and a full fridge is a must! Always want everyone to feel welcome!
Yes I agree on all lines! That has been my mantra all along. Food, Wifi, cleanliness, and my happy studio/working space. =)
agreed
You are definitely in tune with me. I totally agree with you. I don’t have flowers and love having space to either dance around or do yoga… Nice post!
having enough space to work out is so important indeed! Thank you for stopping by!
I love your essentials list because they are just that. A home is where we expect certain things to just be there.

my thoughts exactly!
I like decorating with colors that inspire me. Whether a flower, or wall color, I love seeing pretty colors
colours are indeed very important.
Lol, I love that “home is where the wifi connects automatically” sign. I’ve seen it on pinterest before and its the cutest!
it really is!
That SO reflects the modern lifestyle. It is funny, but also quite disturbing, if you think about how addicted we are to it.
I agree with your post especially about the tidiness and organization. It makes your home much calmer

I know that I have been told making your bed every day first thing helps get you on the right track. i really need to make sure that I do this.

Your list covers it, lol!! Wifi, food, cleanliness. Those are the essentials
haha yes they are!
Amen for this post! Am not a hearts-and-flowers type when it comes to my home 🙂 Am more practical. And yes for good internet connection!
Flowers and broadband are on the same list for me. I live in the country on a farm and am a flower farmer but I can’t get broadband….grrrr.
So important to feel comfort and ease in the home space! Wifi is a must!
yes it is!
