How to arrange your home: ideas for couples

The excitement caused by this major change in your life is a wonderful feeling, which, however, can make you not think about the various problems that may arise.

Of course, any couple who decides to live in the same house should discuss how the expenses will be shared, as well as the tasks around the house. At this point, the arrangement of the house seems like child's play, but if you don't do it properly, you risk tensions between you later.

Here are some ideas for this!

1. Make an inventory of things

Before moving in, it is advisable to make sure that you do not bring unnecessary items with you that fill the space in vain. When deciding what things to move and what to give up, the sacrifices must be equal.

Everyone must be willing to compromise - if you keep something, keep your partner, if you give up something, then he must do the same. Otherwise, you will wake up with a house full of things you don't need.

2. Keep your style

Even if you have different tastes, this is not the end of the world. Although usually, the woman has the last word in terms of interior design, it is better not to go for a single style, but to combine your preferences and get something unique.

Even though you like the shabby chic style and he prefers minimalism, why not have a little of each? The eclectic style can be charming if it is approached with attention to detail!

3. Cabinet organizing involves compromises

Whether you have a dressing room or just a closet, the woman likely has so many clothes that her partner's clothes are crammed into a small corner.

The solution is a compromise, of course. If you do not manage to divide the space fairly, however, it would be best to make a custom wardrobe, which you can adapt exactly to your needs.

4. Storage spaces are essential

If the house you move in together is small, then your only solution is to find the most ingenious storage solutions.

Whether it's shelves, strategically placed boxes, drawers on the steps, or multifunctional furniture, it's important to take advantage of every inch.

Because the bathroom is usually the smallest room in the house, you need to find smart solutions to hide all the small objects that may stand in your way.

Thus, interior designers recommend using the space under the sink. A closet under it will be able to hide all the little things and will maintain some order.

You can hide shelves in the bathroom behind a chic curtain, and toothbrushes or ear sticks can be placed in dishes made of more pretentious materials, to give the bathroom a more stylish look.

5. Everyone should have their corner

Even if you are not tired of each other, everyone must have their corner in the house, where they can retire.

It doesn't even have to be a whole room, but a booth in one of the rooms you use together. You can delimit the space with different pieces of furniture or with a chic screen.

6. Make the bedroom your sanctuary

Here are two important rules for the health of your relationship: do not bring work home and technology in the bedroom! A TV may seem like a good idea when arranging your bedroom, but its place is in the living room.

The room you sleep in is the most intimate space for you, so it must be romantic, comfortable, and inviting. Even if it seems ridiculous, many quarrels in the couple occur because the two do not agree on the program they want to watch.

Even a small, insignificant misunderstanding can ruin your romantic mood. Isn't it better to lie down and hug?

Think carefully about how to arrange your house when you move in with your boyfriend so that you both feel just as good when you walk in the door!
