Does your home make you happy?

Do all the home makeover shows on television inspire you to tackle a room makeover or make you want to move to your dream home? You’re not alone. The home remodeling boom shows no signs of slowing down. And more home sellers report they want to buy a larger home with more amenities.

However, you don’t need to rip your home apart or move on to create a home that makes you happy. You can start today with simple steps to shape a home that makes you smile. This doesn’t mean that you need to completely redo your home. Simple changes which cause happiness include decluttering, reorganizing, and gardening. A clutter-free home helps you avoid frustration. An organized home keeps your days focused on more important issues than finding lost articles. Spending time outdoors with nature keeps your body in harmony with the universe. Plus, you get to enjoy your garden every time you glance outside.
