WeekendinFEATURE WeekendinFEATURE Redecorate your home Here are some of the concert highlights lined up for the year 2014! If you do not have the time to consult an interior designer or to think of a new look for your entire house or room, consider doing small changes that can still have an impact on the overall look. This can be done over the weekend or better yet, within a day! • • As the years pass by, we accumulate more and more items from sales, holiday trips and gifts. However, a cluttered home is often indicative of a cluttered mind. This 2014, start the year on a clean note by organising and de-cluttering your home. Having a good system and fewer things in the home helps one stay focused on important matters, and this increased efficiency is sure to make an impact on everything that you do. And while you’re at it, spice up your home this 2014 by doing small redecorations that can turn it into a whole new living environment! Revive that sense of excitement as you come back to a new and improved home at the end of every day. How to organise your home Step 1: Get rid of unnecessary items As you go through the various items in your home, ask yourself the following question: Should I keep it? Donate it? Or throw it away? Often we are overcome with a sense of nostalgia and sentimentalism when doing this, so be sure to think critically about the ‘keep’ items - Think about the last time you used them and if you actually need them. Donate items that you can no longer use but that others can benefit from. Throw away those that are completely useless to everyone. • • Singaporean International Jazz Festival 2014 Description: Music Festival Tickets Sale: Available now on Sistic Ticket Pricing: $90 - $330 Event Date: 27 Feb – 2 Mar 2014 Paint the Walls : If you have a large piece of artwork or a vibrant rug in the room, choose a colour from the pattern and use that as your guide.
