TOV LIFESTYLE | 55 | Organizing Organizing your home is probably the most tiring task when spring cleaning (especially in tiny NYC apartments). After you've cleaned and decluttered take a step back and look around. Think about the things you need on an everyday basis. As a minimalist, I believe that less is more. I prefer to be selective with my purchases and belongings and only keep special pieces. Every item I own and display must be pleasing to look at, but more importantly useful. A good place to start is a closet. There are so many easy ways to maximize closet space instead of using it the same way it's always been used. Double closet rods are inexpensive, easy to install and instantly create extra hanging room. Sort your clothes by activity and necessity and be sure to pack away last season's wardrobe. Baskets, benches and bins go a long way and help you sort your items together creating easy access to those items and add style to any room or closet. Another accent piece I love is a standing mirrored cabinet. This full-length mirror doubles as jewelry and/or makeup cabinet... yes, please! Recently, verticle space has been a hot topic for space saving. We neglect to consider corners in our home as well. Consider accent wall shelves in the bathroom to store makeup brushes and toiletries. Add shelves in your living room to stash your favorite reads. Think verticle! New Season, New Style Environmental psychologists have been studying the effects our physical surroundings have on our overall mental well-being. Their reports suggest that small upgrades are beneficial for creating a healthy lifestyle. Our homes affect our lifestyle and mood. We're all still working on our New Year's Resolutions. Let those changes be reflected in your home! Consider what inspires your creativity and joy. Swapping out your old lumpy sofa for a show-stopper like the TOV Oslo Grey Velvet Sofa could be just the thing to turn your whole perspective around. Small adjustments can make a big difference. Think about the colors you gravitate towards. Introduce an accent rug and curtains to your space to add that polished and homey feel. Accent lighting and mirrors give extra dimension to a room as well. Pull inspiration from your own clothing because very often the things you like to wear will match the way you like to decorate.
