Sometimes a Little is a Lot



If you are sick and tired of your surroundings, make a little change (or changes) to help you freshen a room that has grown stale to you.
One of the easiest things to do is to change your room by putting it on the diagonal. If your room has a square floor plan with an area rug, then turn the area rug a few degrees on the diagonal; then place your furniture, couch, chairs, tables relative to the rug so that it looks as though you rotated just the floor of the room. Voila! A different look - and when you sit, you will find yourself looking at different wall art, windows from a different perspective, etc. so that will be a change also.
Using the diagonal works for your bedroom, too although I don't recommend it with a king-sized bed unless you have an extremely large bedroom.
