Day 1, Sunday – If you don’t use them, you don’t need them.
The simple rule of finding something unnecessary is to find something that you have not used in last 2-3 years or you don’t feel like using it. Throw out those that stained flower vases that you haven’t used for years. Go to each room of your house and remove all the unnecessary junk one by one. From that old dust covered table clock to the table cloth that you think too old to use, remove all the clutter and sell them on OLX or eBay. And if something is too close to your heart, yet unusable, pack it and leave it in your storeroom. Don’t be an emotional fool. Rooms look great only when they are well organized and uncluttered.
Day 2, Monday – Your living room deserves your care.
People leave their pyjamas and pillows scattered on the bed while in hurry. Many even letting that uneaten, uncovered food rot on the dining table for hours, and even days. A messy room is an ugly, unhealthy room. Therefore, tidy up your living room, dining room and bedroom before you leave for office.

Leaving your home clean and tidy before going out for work or leisure helps you to relax, or spend some quality time with your family and friends in the evening.

Day 3, Tuesday – Diyas and candles remind us of our spiritual nature.
Diyas and candles are not very expensive but are very effective in uplifting the mood of everyone living in the house. Dedicate a little space in your house for lighting candles, or diyas and sit silently. Keep watching the soothing flame to realize your spiritual nature. Calmness has a beauty of its own. If you can maintain a peaceful environment at home and indirectly inculcate a sense of peace, joy and spirituality in your children by being a role model yourself, your home will look far more beautiful than you can think of. A house looks beautiful only when people living inside are peaceful and loving.
Day 4, Wednesday – Pamper your family, friends and visitors with aroma.
Aromatic Oils are pricey but you still can afford them. The oils evaporate into the air and enters your body through your organ of smell. You can use a diffuser container, or you can spray.

These essential oils not only pamper your sense of smell but also work as respiratory disinfectant, decongestant and de-stressor. Different essential oils work in different ways and each oil comes with it own set of benefits. The smell of citrus, or sandalwood have a subtle, yet holistic effect on the body.
Day 5, Thursday – Express your love for beauty with flowers.
Bring home some colorful creepy crawlies and use some hanging planters to flaunt them. Buy some flowers online and place them in your living room, hallway and kitchen.

Natural flowers, because of their colorful look and refreshing smells, help you to keep away depression and boredom. Consider having at least one indoor plant. Love it like your baby. Low light indoor plants like Money Plant, Ivy, Anthurium, Rex Begonia, Peace Lily, or Spider Plant are perfect for your home. They purify the air, and add natural beauty to your modern home.
