Slow Decorating Is The Answer To Impulse Purchasing
Whether you live in a tiny apartment or a lofty suburban home, you’ve probably felt the urge to decorate your home as soon as you can—you want it to feel like a home after all. But rushing the process can cause you to impulsively buy items that you’ll grow tired of and create a place that isn’t authentic to your personality.
Experts recommend really thinking about trends and impulse interior design purchases and adopting the slow decorating technique.
What is slow decorating?
Slow decorating not only means taking your time to curate your space but also doing it with intention. Instead of pressuring yourself to buy things just to fill a room, allow yourself to look for items that you will truly love for years to come and won’t get tired of.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when it comes to slow decorating:
Accept that you’ll never be truly done. A lived-in home will never be complete; just like you, it will keep evolving with your needs and tastes. Don’t pressure yourself to get everything “done.”
Don’t throw everything away. Whether you just moved into a new space or you’re redecorating, don’t feel like you need to throw your old furniture and decor away. Sometimes, the things you already have can be repurposed by switching things around.
Shop intentionally. When shopping for new items, consider how they’ll look with the rest of your home. Will it fit in? Do you need to change other things around to accommodate it? Will it stand the test of time? Only buy items that you connect with, and be patient! Good things take time.
Don’t fall prey to social media. While TikTok and Instagram are fun sources of inspiration, the posts that show up on your feed should be considered carefully. You don’t need to hop on every trend you see, especially when there are so many, and they change so fast! Find the ones that resonate with you, your home and your design style.
