Clear up your space as much as you can. No matter where or how you live doing this alone will drastically improve the quality of your space.

 This will further give you inspiration and motivation to transform your space.

After cleaning and roughly organizing observe your space

Remove all the Unsightly, Worn, or dated items that feel out of place. These are non-essentials, keeping them is a disservice to yourself and your home. Give your house a clean slate. If you feel that you absolutely can't part with them or they have an emotional value keep them in storage until you finish redecorating. Then take them out and reevaluate. 

Damaged items go in trash bins. Donate to others if you absolutely must but Remove them from your sight.

Throw expired cosmetics, Shampoos, and products while you are at it. 

2. MOVE YOUR FURNITURE AROUND OR SWAP WITH FRIENDS

When it comes to collecting, not every piece has to be expensive. Collecting doesn't require a big budget. Choose things that you truly love & that bring you joy.

Be original. Add modern pieces to traditional spaces. Use your old and antique furniture or decoration pieces.

 Styling antique pieces with contemporary furnishings will never go out of style.
