We’re all spending more time at home these days.

But maybe you’ve realized that your home doesn’t feel like you. Maybe your home feels unfinished or un-stylish.

Want to redecorate but don’t know where to get started?

I have some easy fixes you can do right now to quickly redecorate. You can use your extra time at home to improve your space.

How to style a manly, yet beautiful, nightstand

Here are four simple, inexpensive ways to redecorate your home and make it feel more like you:

1. Rearrange Your Stuff

It sounds too simple to be true, but moving your home decor around can make your home feel fresh. Decorating doesn’t have to be guesswork, there is a method to the madness.

I have a free class on how to arrange your home decor like a pro. With 12 quick lessons you’ll be able to freshen up your home for free.

2. Declutter To Personalize

One big reason your home might not feel like you is because it’s cluttered up with stuff that no longer serves you. Do you have home decor that no longer fits your style? Closets stuffed with clothes you don’t wear anymore? Storage areas full of old furniture, toys, and junk you don’t plan to use again?

By shedding all the old stuff, the stuff that doesn’t fit your style, you can personalize your home. Make it represent who you are now.

The hardest part of decluttering is getting started but after that it gets easier (I promise). You can free up space in your home and turn storage spaces into useful square footage. Even an empty closet has the potential to be a mini office, reading nook, or craft center.

Before we moved to Texas two years ago, we gave away or sold over half our belongings. Honestly, there isn’t a single thing we regret or miss. Our current home feels clean and uncluttered.

To get over the mental hurdle to start decluttering, read the 5 Surprising Lessons I Learned by Getting Rid of Half Our Stuff. In that article, you’ll find my checklist for 96 things you can get rid of right now.
