Are you looking to add some luxury into your home that won’t cost you an arm and a leg? Over time, our homes can feel a little cramped and cluttered due to an over-accumulation of household items and possessions – both necessary and unnecessary.

No home is going to feel luxurious without going through the necessary steps of decluttering, simplifying and moreover, detoxifying your spaces. Start small so this doesn’t feel overwhelming, and begin with one room that needs a makeover. Go through the drawers, clean out the furniture, and in the kitchen, throw out any products that have expired or of no longer use to you.
