Hello, Elegant Readers
I’m not sure about you, but for me, Spring Cleaning is a real thing in my house. As the days begin to get warmer, I look around my house for projects that I put off during the winter season. From preparing the backyard for the flowers and vegetables we anticipate planting to cleaning out the closets and getting rid of unneeded clothing, I look forward to a fresh start with the changing of the seasons. May times you can have an article of clothing in the closet or a decorative piece on your wall for so long that you don’t even realize that you still have it. If that is the case, it may be time to gift it to someone else and bring in something new. Maybe a new painting for your bedroom or a serving tray on your kitchen table. A new item will breathe new life into a room that needs a refresh. It’s giveaway time at Katherines Corner, and I’m co-hosting for your chance to win a tiered tray that can be used in the dining room, the bathroom, or in your walk-in closet.

Minimalism is a concept that has become more popular in many aspects of life, including home décor. Not only does it keep your home organized and more inviting, but it also improves your mood and well-being. According to psychology professor Tim Kasser, minimalist homes can increase your satisfaction levels, reduce stress and enhance your mental health. Besides, it has proven helpful in combating conditions such as anxiety and schizophrenia. Perhaps you’re considering this option for your next home make-over. You can follow these tips as a guide.

Invest in multifunctional furniture
Multifunctional furniture items are ideal for perfecting the minimalist look in your home. Aside from their original purpose, you can use them for other functions such as storage. They also reduce clutter and maximize your home space. For instance, you can opt for a bed with additional storage space to keep your books and other items. You can also buy shelves that convert to tables or the murphy sofa. Thanks to convenient payment options such as international money transfers, you can buy these furniture items from any part of the world. There’s a wide variety to choose from, and you can purchase those that appeal to your taste.
Create a focal point
While a minimalist home design promotes baring down to the essentials, it doesn’t mean you can’t beautify your walls with art. However, it’s vital to reduce the number of art pieces in your home as it can create clutter and defeat the purpose of minimalism. It will help if you see art as a focal point that draws attention to your home. You can get a large art canvas or a small picture in a simple black frame. You can also choose a section of your wall with a vibrant color to serve as the focal point for your space.
Let nature into your home
Plants clean and beautify your home. They also come with health benefits such as reducing stress and anxiety levels. However, you need to know the plants to incorporate to produce the minimalistic feel you desire. You can opt for rubber plants, the chain of hearts, the dragon tree, and the weeping fig for a simple yet classy feel. You may want to avoid flowering plants as they can appear fuzzy and make your space feel crowded.
Embrace natural lighting
Lighting is a vital component of the minimalistic design. It can enhance your mood and create a welcoming space for your guests. Letting the sunlight in opens up your home space and makes it appear more prominent. You can leave your windows bare or use blinds or light curtains if you feel uncomfortable with open windows. You could even hire a custom window installer to help you optimize the natural light. Alternatively, you can also use artificial lighting or mirrors in rooms without access to sunlight.
Use neutral colors
Neutral colors can make your room brighter and more spacious, especially when combined with natural lighting. Additionally, they give your home a relaxed and elegant feel. You can choose colors such as white or beige. Fortunately, they come in different undertones; white comes in bluish and peachy shades, while beige has pink or gold hues. You can incorporate these into your home for a relaxing effect.
The minimalist home décor is excellent for creating space and comfort. Hopefully, these will guide you as you create the perfect look for your home.

Greetings Wonderful People,
I hope you have had a wonderful week. Spring is here, and it is time to start thinking about planting flowers and vegetables in the backyard. Temps have been only reaching the low 60s for the last couple of weeks, and I have been wearing my sweaters and cardigans for a little while longer. It will be hot and humid soon enough, so I am really enjoying these cool days.
If you are like me, sometimes you feel like life is going by at a non-stop pace, and it isn’t easy to keep up with everything. With work and family commitments, not to mention just life in general, there is always something going on that takes so much of your time that you do not have any quality time to yourself – to relax, to unwind, and to recharge. Or even spend time some quality quiet time with your spouse and family where you can connect with them. If you feel like you are going through the motions of daily life without even thinking about it, you need to step out and break that cycle. It’s time to stop everything and play a game.
Playing a game may not be the first thing that comes to your mind when needing to unwind and recharge. But based on my experience, it did help with my husband and me. Recently, we had a chance to review a new game, THE RANK GAME in collaboration with LEV3L Digital. We have been working almost every day since the pandemic hit last year and we needed a chance to clear our minds of work things and take some time to reconnect on an intimate level. We began playing the game. Before we knew it, an hour had passed, and we’re having conversations about our relationship that we have not had before and talking about things we had not talked about in a really long time. We were amazed that we could be doing this with a simple game. We both strongly recommend this game for anyone who desires to reconnect and draw closer to their friends and family. The game is packed with so many themes and topics of conversation that you can spend a lifetime getting to know each other.
In collaboration with LEV3L Digital, we recently offered a giveaway where one person would win their own copy of the game. We are here to announce that the winner is
**ROSEANNE R.**

Hello Wonderful People,
I pray that you are doing well. For more than a year now, we have spent more time at home to keep ourselves and others safe. For some people, this has been not easy because they are not used to being at home for such an extended time. While for others, they believed it to be a blessing to spend more time at home. With many mixed emotions and COVID fatigue, people are searching for fulfillment and connection. My Pastor says the focus should not be on material things but healthy relationships.
Many people have resumed their normal way of life by getting out and doing things. At the same time, others remain diligent in keeping safe and staying at home. There are still others out there who prefer to be at home no matter the current situation just because that is their nature.
Wherever you fall on this spectrum, have you ever wondered how well you know your family and friends? Have you ever taken the opportunity to find out? Now there is a new game that can help you with this — the Rank Game.
The Rank Game is about you and your people—your likes and dislikes and how well you know your family and friends. When you are the ranker, you are given a topic, and then you rank four items. The guessers then attempt to find out how well they know you. You can play the game with just two people or up to twelve people or more. It’s all up to you. It could be a couple or the whole family. Maybe your friends or neighbors.
My hubby and I played the game and realized that we had the same answers to many of the topics and could guess how the other ranked the answers. We know a lot about each other, but still, after being married for almost twenty-two years, there are things we did not know about each other. We can see ourselves playing this game late at night and talking about our answers. We recommend it to anyone who wants to bring their relationship closer together.
To purchase your own copy of the game, click HERE!
