Winter can be a real bummer. Especially here in the St. Louis area, the skies are overcast and grey several days a week. When the snow and ice start falling, so do the moods of those around us. A little redecorating can go a long way to beating these winter blahs. It doesn't have to be expensive or elaborate, just a slight modification can work wonders on your mood.
Start by picking something you see every day that just doesn't do it for you. Maybe it's the front door, or the place that collects all the incoming mail and paperwork. On a slightly warmer and sunnier day, wash that door, polish the door knobs, and put out a new welcome mat. Or figure out a new mail collection system. The internet abounds with paper organization ideas. Find one that you like and try it.
If one room always feels darker than the others, find a new lamp for it or some new art for the walls. Thrift stores are often overstocked now from people reducing clutter after the holidays. Maybe a new houseplant will help liven things up, as well as clean the air. A new duvet cover for the bedroom or new throw pillows for the couch can also bring a bright pop of color in and lighten the mood.
Overall, just figure out what makes you happy and try to decorate in that style. When you are happier with your home, you will be happier with your life.
