For some people, the task of redecorating is one that is undertaken with energy and enthusiasm.  These people want any excuse to repaint a bedroom or move a sofa to the other side of the room.  However, this is probably not most people.  For most of us, redecorating is a chore.  A task that takes valuable free time and fills it up with shopping, comparing prices and paint chips.  It is boring and expensive.  But even if the act of redecorating itself is not your bag, it is possible to put a positive spin on the situation by thinking about these benefits of redecorating your space.

An Excuse to Clean
Cleaning in an of itself may not seem like fun, but having an excuse to spend careful hours going through your things and getting rid of what is broken, what you have never liked and what is no longer useful to you can be a huge relief.  Redecorating is the perfect excuse to spend this times purging your things and freeing your life out from under the clutter that all of us seem to accumulate.

Create a Space for You
Redecorating your home can also be a good time to create a space for you and you alone.  Especially when you have a family, you may feel like your kids have taken over every corner of the house.  When you go to redecorate, it may be time to finally clean out the old guest room and turn it into a sanctuary for yourself. Having this space can make all the difference since having a place that is all for yourself where you have chosen the décor can be the most calming gift you can give yourself.

Upgrade Existing Pieces
Everyone knows that moving can be a huge expense, so when you first moved into your home you may have not had the budget to buy the high quality but also higher priced items that you really wanted.  If you have lived in your home for a while now, your budgetary situation may have shifted.  It could be that you can finally afford the statement couch that you have lusted over or the solid oak dining set that was out of reach before.  Investing in these kinds of heirloom pieces can make your home that much happier for you and for your family.


A New Lease on Your Old Space
This doesn’t have to mean a literal lease renewal, but rather a feeling of having a new space.  A coat of paint and the rearranging of some furniture can make you feel like you have a completely new home without the discomfort and stress of actually moving.  This feeling is energizing, exciting and mood lifting, even in the resulting exhaustion that comes with redecorating. 

You deserve to be truly happy in your space and to surround yourself with things that you love and that make you feel peaceful.  Don’t underestimate the power of redecorating in improving your entire life.
