I just bought a new duvet cover that I love. However, it just wasn’t working my room. It was working in the “1990 let’s mix patterns shabby chic way”, but not in the elegant way that I had hoped for. In fact, the room started to feel a little bit like it was closing in on me. Here are a few ways that I remedied this.
1. Resisted the impulse to buy. Suddenly, I felt like I needed new drapes & a new rug to match the new duvet. Instead I tried to work with what I already have.
2. Gave myself time to adjust to change. I really don’t deal well with change, even in decorating.
3. Cleaned the room to see if it felt less cluttered.
4. Edited. Took out all of the extras such as the accessories & even the rug. The room now feels a lot lighter & less cluttered because it is!
I really should have titled this post “The duvet that causes problems”. I’ll have to live with it for awhile & see how I feel. This may have been another impulse buy where I tried to save money.
