Just a few more days and Easter - the Great Day, the spring equinox - will be here. I am convinced that the festive feeling can be created not only by the anticipated days off, which can be spent with family or loved ones, but also by sprucing up one's surroundings, so to speak, dressing them up for the occasion. Here are some ideas for how to decorate the home.
Every home and family has certain traditions they follow when dyeing eggs for the Easter holiday. Perhaps it's time to try a different technique? This time, without delving into the symbolism of the egg or its connection to the spring equinox or Christian church festival, I invite you to share ideas on how to make this holiday more colourful and appealing.
A dream of a large and bright bathroom. With a window - why not - and flowering potted plants. Stained glass and richly coloured tiles. A niche built into the wall that handily serves as a shelf for various bath cosmetics - bath foam, shampoos, body lotions, and aromatic oils, etc.
The place where homemakers spend much time preparing meals - that is the traditional purpose of the kitchen. I must admit I am not among the sworn housewives whose core principle would be the three K's - Kinder, Küche, Kirche (children, kitchen, church). I cook when inspiration strikes. In any case, ideally a kitchen should be equipped with every possible appliance that makes the cooking process easier and faster.
The most intimate room in the home. The walls hold the cosiness of togetherness, passion, and long evenings of conversation watching the sunset. Or else - filled with solitary, proud, and lucid dreams. In my view, the most serene, most subdued in terms of colour, and the least cluttered, most unencumbered room in the home.
The heart of the home, a place for conversation, contemplation, and hosting gatherings and celebrations. I always imagine it with a large, capacious sofa, an armchair, and striking wall décor or a painting. The living or sitting room could be combined with a library; a cosy spot by the fireplace and a luxurious rug would be right at home here.
This time, about a study in a house or apartment - where, in my view, the longest stretches of time are spent. At least definitely in our home. :) Before we tackled the renovation and fitting out of the study a couple of years ago, we formulated a few criteria that were important to both of us.
