APRIL AND THE URGE TO GO OUT!

Finding creative ways…
Social life is still restricted. But in April, the urge to go out and the need to do different things are felt everywhere.

What the stars currently show us is what we all feel in this fourth week of the lockdown. So: how can or should we deal with this urge for freedom and the need for creativity? One possibility: create new spaces in your own daily environment – now! Try out new things at your every whim and mood: it doesn’t have to be For Ever And Ever, but can do for a certain time, for these special days and, above all: for yourself. This urge and drive to change things got me too, hence I really enjoyed cleaning out my cupboards, weeding in the garden and moving furniture around at Easter!

Maybe all of this is also be due to the brighter days and the sunshine, but some people suddenly see the place where they live with different eyes: this wall should have been painted a long time ago, that sofa re-upholstered and those cupboards cleaned out. And what about the lighting here? It never really suited me; and the balcony or the terrace: what do they look like? Live your independence within your own four walls and let your creativity run free – do things differently for once and break out of your usual routine. Draw new strength from creative ideas for the days ahead at home. Because a beautiful home can make you happy and nourish your soul. And if on top of this, you grant yourself to a truly unique “island” that reflects your personality, then you’ll also be doing something good for yourself in a sustainable way!

BECOME CREATIVE WITHIN YOUR OWN 4 WALLS

How and where to start?
My objective: clearing out, because it really does you good!
What about some fresh colours in your home? A wall can be painted quickly and it’s fun to do. Ordering paint and brushes online or calling on a painter from the neighbourhood – he’ll certainly be happy to help you these days and, next to supplying paints and brushes, will also provide good tips, as an added value. Or then: start your own moodboard for your home – the Go Interiors team will be more than pleased to help you turn your ideas into reality. Stage your home office with fond souvenirs and let yourself be inspired by the joyful chirping of birds! Clear your balcony or terrace of winter’s leftovers and order plants, tulips and seedlings online. And if all these ideas don’t appeal enough: how about cooking? Here’s the task: Conjure up a 5-course menu from the remains of the fridge! You have all the weekend for it, right?
