In a relationship, it is very easy to lose a little of yourself in the name of love. Based on this idea, what will happen if you break up and have to redefine yourself? One step that has proven to be extremely therapeutic for many people is to redecorate the living space.

If you like to rearrange, sometimes even small things like moving the couch to the other wall or buying decorations and accessories can make a big difference. This will open up new possibilities for styles that you have not considered until now.

For her

It's over, he's gone and you don't even want to hear about him. This is a good one. It means you can finally give up the neutral blanket you bought just because the one you wanted is too "girl".

After eating enough sweets, changing your hairstyle, and watching enough romantic movies, it's time to do general cleaning. This will help you re-familiarize yourself with the small details of your home, and at the end of the process, you will feel more efficient.

Then you can go to work and start redecorating the house according to your new status as a free woman:

1. Transform your living space into a comfortable and delicate one, so that you can immerse yourself in it every time you come home. Throw decorative pillows in every corner so that you are surrounded by comfort, and put some soft and colorful beds on the sofa so you can wrap yourself in them when watching TV or reading a book.

2. Rebuild your self-esteem with proper enlightenment. The glow of the candlelight is relaxing, beautiful and above all, any skin shines in this light. Are you disappointed with a breakup? Install a candlestick with candles or decorate your coffee table with scented candles placed in elegant holders and don't forget to buy a lamp with a refined design.

3. And what if you are alone? Bring the diva out of you and be as selfish as possible in your search for comfort. First of all, buy flowers as often as you can and buy some beautiful vases in which you will display the flowers with delicate perfumes.

4. Finally, make an effort and buy a sunbed in which you will be able to spend wonderful moments of relaxation.

You need to change the masculine image of your home, and this can be done with simple accessories. And when you find a new partner, you will be able to rearrange just as easily, but in such a situation, do not forget to avoid too many compromises.

For him

In the end, he left and you are convinced that he will not return. Give up the beer and get rid of the CD you gave her for her birthday. Fill your house with all the things you love and hate.

Once the relationship is over, all your friends will spend time with you and the breakup will be just a past story.

1. Invest in the toy you've always dreamed of. Whether it's a sophisticated pool table, or you want to put a game console in the middle of the room, or you're going to buy that audio system you've been wanting for a long time, it's very important that what you're passionate about is the view.

2. Make your home an extremely comfortable space and turn the living room into the busiest area. Buy one or two large and comfortable chairs that will be perfect to spend time in front of the TV on rainy days or to play video games for hours on end.

3. Take your testosterone to another level. Suspend images with extreme sports or sunny beaches or photos with whatever inspires you.

Rearranging or redecorating your home can be an exercise in helping you rediscover yourself. Things you like and things you don't like have probably changed, or the risk you wouldn't have taken under normal conditions can be reassessed.

And don't forget that the moment you get involved in another relationship and choose to share your home with your loved one, we, the Condo team, are here to give you all the advice you need, related to the arrangements.
