Although housing should reflect the taste and character of the owner, you need to equip it in such a way that a place is found for the second half. Make your man’s stay so comfortable that he wants to stay with you forever.
1. Things former
Walk mentally through the cabinets and shelves: did he leave you something of his own? Maybe a T-shirt, slippers, a toothbrush, or something else personal? All this has no place in your home, as well as the former – in your heart. You can send everything to the rightful owner or just throw it away. But you should not get rid of gifts. But also to accentuate in some way attention, where did you get this or that thing, too. The main thing is that you do not have too many memories or associations associated with this subject. If every time you have tears in your eyes when you see a figurine brought from a joint trip, it is better to donate it to someone.
2. Signs of childhood
The interior of the apartment should be such that it was immediately clear: an adult woman lives here who knows how to lean on herself and is not looking for a strong shoulder in order to hang on it. Today’s men are not at all inclined to search for someone whom they want to take on the arms or shoulder and carry into a brighter future. Children’s collection of dolls and bears, an excess of pink in the interior, ruffles and bows – it’s all somehow infantile. Add a stylish blanket, scented candles with the smell of cinnamon or sandalwood, and decorate the interior in restrained (delicate pastel or sophisticated rich) colors.
3. Old things
It’s not necessary to get rid of the trash just to empty a shelf in the closet for a new boyfriend. First, a cluttered space is ugly. Secondly, supporters of the Feng Shui teachings claim that unnecessary things interfere with the free circulation of energy, and therefore your life turns into a dull gurgling swamp. Thirdly, unnecessary things collect dust, becoming a potential allergen. Just throw away everything that you don’t wear for more than two seasons and that you don’t use for more than six months. If it’s a pity to throw it away, you can sell it or donate it to charity. However, there is a whole science of how to properly part with old things.
4. Excess Cosmetics
Dozens of jars and bottles in the bathroom usually delight our ladies’ eye. And they usually annoy men in a strange way. Apparently, the whole point is in a different mentality: one bottle is enough for a man, which can wash everything, including the floor, and a woman treats her body more reverently. So if the sides of the bath have not been visible for a long time under the stacks of tubes dear to the heart, then it is better to organize them somehow. And throw out the expired ones.
5. Trinkets
An incredible amount of figurines, souvenirs, handicrafts, framed and unframed photographs are annoying. It is better to keep the dear to the heart memorable things in a stylish casket than to arrange them on the shelves. After all, it is dust, and variegation, which makes the interior cheaper and makes it tasteless, and infantilism. A couple of stylish decor items in the interior – yes. Rows of porcelain dogs – no.
