📺 The TV doesn’t always have to be the focal point of a living room.

🛋️ You can create a cozy conversation spot or fashion a great place for group gatherings simply by changing the layout in the room. It’s time to use your imagination with these innovative ways to rethink your living room structure.

5 CREATIVE WAYS TO ARRANGE YOUR LIVING ROOM.

1. Room for a group gathering. Create a great spot for a group of people to hang out in by situating a sofa and two chairs in a “u” shape.

2. Footstools for the win. Footstools are more than just places to put your feet. They can be added to any space to create extra seating while breaking up the flow of the space

3. New twist on the old sofa. One of the easiest ways to shake up your living room layout is to do away with the sofa altogether.

4. No couch needed. Get rid of the couch completely, and replace it with two comfortable chairs. No one says you have to have a couch, and if your living room is small, this will help it look bigger.

5. Hide the tv. If you just can’t get away from having the tv in the living room, you can make it look as if it’s part of the décor instead of the center of the room.

💖 6 tips for making your home a healthier place

1. Balance social and private spots
Studies suggest that the key to happiness resides in the strong bonds we form with family and friends.

Today’s digital world allows many of us to work from home. Unfortunately, most people who do telecommute don’t have a dedicated workspace.

3. Let natural light in
Research shows that a flood of natural light instantly improves mood and maintains good health. Adding natural light is relatively easy.

4. Heat your home properly
A home that’s heated properly can have a dramatic impact on your health and your wallet. Cold, drafty, poorly heated rooms can be uncomfortable and weaken your immune system.

5. Reduce noise levels
Too much noise can have devastating consequences on our health and wellbeing.

6. Eliminate clutter
Cutting down on clutter in every room of your home can greatly reduce stress. Implement storage space to organize belongings and get rid of things you no longer need or use.

6 Ways To Create A Healthy Home Ashley Witty

🤑 Sellers aren’t required to stage their homes for sale, much less clean if they don’t want to.

👇 Here are three things you can overlook when browsing homes for sale.

1. Weird Wallpaper And Dirty Carpet
It’s easy and relatively inexpensive to paint and replace the carpet, so if the home you’re looking at has weird wallpaper or dirty carpet, just overlook it. These updates can be completed in less than a week and you can do them before you move into the home.

2. Rooms Used For Something Other Than Their Intended Purpose
Try to ignore how the current owners are using the rooms and envision how you’d use them instead.

3. A Strong Seller Presence
Some homes are simply too personalized for a buyer to fully envision his or her belongings in the home. Either way, if the sellers aren’t willing to compromise, you can use their over-bearing nature to your advantage and possibly get the home for less than the asking price.
