Newlyweds can decorate their home in ways that will help them keep their love serene and stress free.
Newlyweds deserve home decorating ideas uniquely fashioned for them. After all, two loving individuals begin life together, each with his or her own dreams to be realized in a single home. It’s then that home decorating ideas can keep the peace—or make romantic evenings last until dawn. So for the days after the wedding, here’s a palette of decorating ideas for newlyweds.
One office, two desks
Many newlyweds rent or buy a home with two bedrooms. The second room becomes a home office, which has to be shared by two. So why not adopt a home decorating idea Queen Victoria had used in her palace? Position your desks back to back. This way you’ll each have your own work space but, when you look up, you’ll see each other.
One sink, two sides
Often bathroom vanities are small with one sink for two people. It’s then that home decorating for newlyweds helps set a boundary. Buy a set of toiletry jars for each side of the sink, but give each of you domain over one side only. In the middle, just behind the sink, keep the liquid soap and toothbrush stand to be shared by the both of you.
Televisions, computers and sunsets
Use home decorating for newlyweds to shape your relationship. Position a special seat under a window or out on a porch, a place where the two of you can forget the world outside and reconnect. Have music nearby, as this will help set the mood, and add a side table to set down wine glasses or fruit bowls. The lovelier the spot looks, the more likely you are to prefer it over watching television or browsing the Internet.
One and only bed
All married couples share jokes about who steals the blanket at night, and somehow each person always thinks it’s the other. So why not use home decorating to solve the problem? Buy a king-sized blanket to spread over your queen-sized duvet. This beautiful blanket will be big enough for two.
Welcoming entryway
Home decorating ideas for newlyweds are especially important in the entryway. A chalkboard message board is ideal for leaving messages. A special bowl on an entryway table can become your vessel for leaving little gifts for each other, like a flower or a cookie. A coat rack is ideal for hanging everything away and keeping the clutter down in the home. And a key peg rack can stop you hunting after each other keys should you need to switch cars.
Morning grouchiness
Decorate the kitchen of newlyweds with morning grouchiness in mind, and you’ll spread bliss through the home. Hang coffee mugs in a row on the wall above the sink using swag hooks or a peg rack. Select “his” and “hers” cups to ensure that a lazy partner will wash his own mug rather than steal the last one. And fill two cookie jars with the favorites of each.
Sofas for two
Home decorating for newlyweds often starts with inherited furniture. If you’re lucky enough to acquire an L-shaped arrangement, you’ll be able to rest your heads on a single, large pillow and lie in comfort before your television. If your love seat is narrow, buy two ottomans to place before it when you lie down side by side. Cover the sofa and ottomans in slipcovers to form a set and push the ottomans away to form coffee tables.
