New Year, New Me & New Living Room

A s much as we hate to admit it, we were couch potatoes for the entire past year. Spending time on our sofas reached an all-new height. If we had not been particular with dictionary definitions, we would’ve called the living room our second bedroom easily. It’s a heaven for rest, though seeing how a new Covid-19 variant just surfaced, let’s throw “WFH station” into the mix. Sitting rooms are everything, which makes the more reason why we should be giving it a new facelift this 2022. You know, to spice things up every now and then.

Stan For Stands
Whether TVs are placed on stands or neatly hung on walls, time will show you how it’s necessary to have a TV cabinet for the clutter. Leaving remotes, travel memorabilia and the audio system scattered around creates an eyesore. So, keep them organized, not to mention safe, in this contemporary rack that comes with ample shelves and drawers.

Race Against Time
Digital clocks are convenient but when it comes to keeping time, they are the worse. Unless you set an alarm, we rarely tilt down our heads to read time anymore. Well, let’s change that. New year, new me, new set of rules. This time, we’ll be getting ourselves ahead of everything by placing this elegant ribbon wall clock at the most conspicuous of places: the living room.

A Walk In The Forest
Decorating a living space is very much similar to dressing ourselves. Just like how you would spritz on perfume to complement your ootd, diffusers set the vibe of the house. You can opt for something fruity or floral if that’s what you prefer, though adhering to the notion of a home being calm and cozy, an earthy scent never disappoints.

Work Of Art
A home makeover almost always involves a dirty paint job. If you’re in the group that thinks this is too much work, cut yourself some slack with wall art. This set of two botanical images makes a perfect choice. Minimalist and modern — to be honest, they can go well anywhere else. Plus, big enough to hide indelible stains and unmendable cracks on the wall.

Life On Wheels
Trolley carts have attained a whole new meaning in the home decor echelon. Homeowners these days have been reutilizing them to hold snacks, coffee, alcohol, and even office and bathroom supplies. Shall there ever be a day you think you could use one too, go for Nest Design Lab’s that doesn’t look the least like they belonged at a dim sum restaurant.

Let There Be Light
It’s about time you finally decide to address the dark corners of your room because this year we’re all about banishing darkness and negativity away (be it life or home). A simple solution we can easily whip up is a table lamp — a really cool one — like Retail Therapy PH’s that features a frosted orb on a gilded metal frame.
