Columbus Station Apartments in Virginia Beach boasts luxury living in the heart of Virginia Beach. Settling into a new home is a great opportunity to switch up your style and pare down your belongings. Take this opportunity to level up to a more luxurious life!

Home organizers will tell you that luxury isn’t always about buying expensive things, it’s a mindset. Feeling relaxed in your home is one of the best treats you can give yourself, and one way to accomplish that is to organize and de-clutter. Invest in yourself to improve your day-to-day life. 

De-Clutter

Walking into a room that is open and allows your eye to focus on one dominant element in your decor is a breath of fresh air. A de-cluttered space allows your mind to relax because you’re not faced with the items in your home that need cleaning, organized, or put away. You can live in the moment and finally enjoy your space! But how do you get there?

Organize

The key to maintaining this peaceful home life is the mantra “a place for everything, and everything in its place.” Invest in attractive (matching) storage that complements your decor and hides what you aren’t using on a daily basis. Bins on shelves are great at hiding knicknacks, as are baskets that can be tucked under tables and in corners. 

Luxurious Accents

Once you’ve created a clean, de-cluttered space, you can decorate with luxurious accents that will enhance your surroundings. A plush throw blanket in chenille or wool will soften your space and add texture to your decor. A large velvet pillow in a rich color will complement your existing decor. (Pro tip: Buy a pillow insert one size larger than your pillow cover in order for it to look firm and slightly “overstuffed.”)

Houseplants

Live houseplants are so much more elegant than faux greenery. Not only do they purify the air in your home, they brighten your space and liven up tabletops or an unused corner of the room. Try to select a plant that’s appropriate for the amount of light in the space–the closer to a window, the better. Easy starter plants are ZZ plants and Snake plants, which require minimal light and water. You can find them in various sizes at home improvement stores and garden centers. 

Candles

Unscented or lightly-scented candles will make your home feel (and smell) warm and inviting. Plus, candlelight is universally flattering on everyone, so it’s an absolute must when entertaining!
