New Year's Resolution: Buy Your Dream Home

2016 is right around the corner, which has us thinking about New Year’s resolutions. Is buying a home one of your goals for the new calendar year?

Before you sign the dotted line on a new home, here are a few steps to help you learn more about the buying process:  


Getting pre-approved for a loan

When you feast your eyes on the home of your dreams, one of the first essential steps to take is to get pre-approved for a loan. This will help you set your maximum budget and will allow you to answer the question, “Can I afford this home?”

Learn about monthly costs
While we’re on the subject of home loans, it’s also important to learn about monthly loan payments. Loans come along with interest rates that you will need to keep in mind as you continue to budget for your future home.

Know the benefits of ownership
If you’ve been renting for some time and are ready to invest in a home, it’s a smart idea to educate yourself about the benefits of owning a home. For example, unlike renters, homeowners can build equity. Essentially, building equity means increasing the net value of your asset. To learn more about the benefits of home ownership, click here

How To Prep Your Home For Holiday Guests

Are you hosting a holiday gathering this year? Soon enough, guests will be knocking at your door so be sure you’ve got everything you need to make your house guests feel right at home! We know you probably have a laundry list of tasks to complete before the holidays, so we’ve put together a checklist to make prepping your home easy:


1. Tidy up the bathroom - The last thing you want is for your guests to walk into a messy bathroom. That being said, dust off countertops and polish those mirrors! If your guests are staying overnight, be sure to add extra linens, toiletries, and scrub down the shower to make them feel like they’re guests at a five start hotel.

2. Clear clutter at the front door - First impressions say a lot about your home, so clear the clutter at the entryway. Not only will your home appear cleaner and larger, but it will also allow more space for your guests to hang up their coats and stack their shoes.

3. Jot down household instructions - If your friends and family are staying a while, make them feel comfortable in the home by jotting down a few essential instructions they can follow if you run out of the house for a while. For example, let them know how to work the oven, washer/dryer, and how to lock the doors or garage if necessary. Do you have pets at home? Let them know how they can help out.

4. Put a few extras near the bedside - For those who plan to stay over for the holidays, make them feel extra cozy by placing books and magazines near the bedside. Also, an extra lamp might be a bright idea if they prefer to sleep with a little more light. A tall glass of water and extra blankets will also make them feel like they’re snug in their own beds!

We hope these tips help you prepare for guests arriving next week!

At Copper Square, we’d like to help ease your stress during the holiday season - connect with us on social media for more tips on how to prep for big occasions coming up! We offer luxurious townhomes and duplexes in the growing community of Bethel, CT! Our Models, Design Studio & Sales Center are now open.

5 Neighborhood Features That Boost Value

Location, location, location. We can’t think of a more essential factor when it comes to boosting your home’s value. Whether it be proximity to restaurants and shopping or quality of the nearest education system, the location of your home says a lot about its worth. 

Below is a list of ideal neighborhood qualities that can boost a home’s value (and tells you that you’ve found the right place):


Walkability
It’s one thing to be within a quick driving distance to restaurants, grocery stores, and schools, but it’s another thing to be within a short walking distance. That being said, you want a home that has urban convenience so that all of your needs are close within reach.

Historic Charm
Although urban living can be accommodating, how much better would it be to live in a home that is close enough to local shops but also has a taste of historic charm. For example, there are several cities in the New England area that offer city living but also that classic neighborhood charm. In this case, your home’s value tends to increase because such charm is hard to replicate.

Amenities & Entertainment
Wouldn’t you love a home with an outdoor pool, fitness center, screening room, and walking trails? We know we would! When you live in a facility that offers the convenience of in house amenities and entertainment, you’ve given a wide variety of things to do that not only peak interest, but will also inevitably boost the value of your home.

Schools
Naturally, a neighborhood that is located in an excellent school district will instantly boost value. Why? Because families want their children to grow in a community that offers the finest education to provide them with the best possible future.

When you visit Copper Square in Bethel CT, you can have it all: New England charm, urban convenience, entertainment, excellent schools, and more! Come see our luxurious townhomes and duplexes and take a peek inside our amenities! Our Models, Design Studio & Sales Center are now open.

Tips for Moving in Together

Are you and your sweetheart ready to take your relationship to the next level? If you’ve talked about moving in together, you’re probably wondering how you can make the transition as smooth as can be. Below are a few guidelines to consider before finding your first home together:


Redecorate Together. Have your “his and hers” trinkets, but decorate the home to make it custom to both of your tastes. If he prefers modern, but she likes the traditional feel of a home, then come to a compromise. And when the holidays arrive, share both of your favorite traditional decorations!

Divide & Conquer. When it comes to household chores, you might bicker over who does what. No need for that! Come to an understanding of who will take care of which chore and take turns to make things fair. For example, if she’s the mathematician and he’s the chef, let her take care of the bills while he cooks dinner.

Tackle Finances. Ease the tension of living together by making a list of what is financially important to you and share that list with your partner. The more you two can come to an understanding of what you are willing to give up and what you are not, the easier the transition will be.

Get Outside Together. Taking time to get out together and explore your new neighborhood is an effective tactic to help making the process of moving in together more seamless, especially when you’re new to living in the same place together. Whether you go out together for Happy Hour or plan a Friday night movie date, keep the relationship exciting by scheduling days and nights out together.

If you live in Connecticut or are thinking about relocating there with your sweetheart, be sure to check out Bethel, Danbury, and the surrounding areas! With urban convenience and New England charm, you and your significant other will fall in love with the atmosphere are never-ending list of activities.

Safe Decorating Tips for the Holidays

As the holidays approach, we bet you’re thinking about how to decorate your home for the season. Although decorations can be beautiful to look at, they can also be dangerous if you’re not careful. That being said, here are a few tips to consider when arranging your home for the holidays:


Choose the right tree - First rule of buying a holiday tree is to conduct the “three-part stress test”. This means the tree should have needles that do not snap off, a truck that is sticky with resin, and strong limbs.

Set a Timer - According to the NFPA, Christmas trees are a major source of fuel in a fire. That being said, it’s important to be careful when it comes to tree lights. Be sure to turn off the lights before sleeping or when you leave the home. Better yet, set a timer to automatically control the lights so you don’t accidentally forget.

Lose the nails - For all your wall decor, including lights and wreaths, skip the nails and tacks. Instead, choose hooks and string to hold them in place.

Be strategic with candles - Keep candles away from furniture and window treatments. And if you have any plug-in lanterns, be sure to keep them on timers as well. In addition, place each burning candle at least three inches apart from each other to ensure they don’t melt each other.

5 Ways to Decorate for Winter

Tomorrow is December 1st, which means winter is coming! Is your home decked out for the season? Whether it be for the holidays or just to warm up your home’s interior design, here are five ways you can decorate with flair this winter: 


Give it a frosty feel. Add some sparkle to your home decor with accent pillows and a crystalline chandelier to mimic the frost outside your front door. The will also add a glow to those typical dull months of the year.

Make it red. Red upholstery next to a glowing fireplace can warm up your home in an instant. This isn’t to say that you need to go out and purchase a whole new set of furniture this month. Instead, try slipcovers or extra plush, red pillows or throws to transform your room.

Switch up your wall art.
Whether you buy a new, snowy mural to hang on your wall or switch up your summertime photo frames, changing up your wall art is one way to slip into winter. For example, swap out your silver frame for a rustic, wood one (even if you’re framing a floral painting). This will give it that rustic feel that we love so much during the chilly months!

Bring in the metallics. When you decorate for winter, you probably think of the colors red and green. However, when you add touches of gold, silver, and bronze your winter decor will last you beyond the holidays. So break out the candle holders, vases, and other trinkets in more muted tones.

Create a winter arrangement. Dress up your dining room or entertainment space with a bouquet of white roses instead of red ones. This way, you won't have to worry about changing up the arrangement when the holidays pass. Pine is another alternative you can try that smells great too!

Tips for an Easy Thanksgiving Clean Up

Hosting a Thanksgiving feast this year? If cleaning and cooking has you feeling anxious, take a deep breath (and then another one). Below, we’ve put together a few quick and simple cleaning tips to help you prep for the best holiday yet:


Be proactive - When you start scrambling around trying to prepare for the big meal, the kitchen can get a bit messy. It can help to go around the entire kitchen prior to cooking and remove all the clutter and stains ahead of time (especially your open and stovetop)!

Organize the fridge - Stocking the fridge around Thanksgiving can seem daunting, so toss out old produce and other foods you haven’t touched in awhile. Chances are you won’t eat it, and let’s face it - you could certainly use the extra space!

Don’t procrastinate - Cooking a Thanksgiving feast can be especially time consuming, so don’t wait until the last minute to prepare your dinner and your dessert. Work a day or two ahead to make dinner rolls or even start preparing the gravy. By the time Thursday rolls around, you’ll have more time to greet guests and focus on the more essential details!

Use disposable containers - If your family and friends are planning to bring over a dish, ask them to use disposable containers. That way, you won’t have to worry about scraping out extra dishes and you can significantly cut back on cleaning time.

Why Buy When Interest Rates Are Low

We’ve nearly reached 2016 and interest rates are still low. Does that mean you should invest in a new property? The short answer is yes. But there’s more to it than that, and here’s why:


Mortgage rates are down.
When interest rates are low, it’s a perfect time to invest in real estate, especially if you’re a first time homebuyer. Although you will need to do a bit of financial planning and savings, when rates are low on a 30-year mortgage, you can enjoy the benefits the low interest rate conditions.  

Loan payments are lower.
Income plays role in how much money you will be able to borrow, but so does interest rates. And the lower the interest rates, the less expensive your monthly payments will be.

Afford the home you want.
Taking advantage of lower interest rates now means you can afford that home you’ve always wanted. In missing this window of opportunity, you might not be able to afford that home anymore, as even the lowest rise in interest rates could mean higher loan payments.

More money for other investments.
If you buy when interest rates are low, you’re likely to have more money towards other investments. For example, save up for buying a car, or work towards paying off grad school loans or any credit card debt.

What are you waiting for? With low interest rates, your dream home is closer within reach! If you live in Connecticut and are looking for your first or forever home, come see what Copper Square has to offer. We have luxurious townhomes and duplexes available and offer a mix of New England charm and urban convenience.

When Should You Become a Homebuyer?

To rent or buy? The decision to become a homeowner is one of the most significant financial decisions you will make, so it’s important to know when the time is right. Although there are several factors involved in buying a home, below are three major signs you should take the leap:


You’ve worked out the finances. Buying a home is a big investment, so working out the numbers is the first step you want to take. Knowing how much money you bring home monthly, figuring out a budget for your down payment, and understanding mortgage will bring you one step closer to being ready. It also helps to learn the difference between how much you will pay a month for rent vs. for a new home and which best suits your financial needs. For example, did you know that U.S. renters pay 30 percent more of their monthly income on rent than homeowners pay on mortgages? Once you figure out what you can pay for, you can take the next step.

You’ve found “the one”. After you’ve figured out the finances, you can start searching for your new home. Upon looking for a home, you might stumble upon “the one”, which encompasses everything you wish for. You know you’ve found the home for you when it becomes all you think about. If this is the case, then you might want to consider making the investment.

You’re looking to settle down. Settling down is a big sign that you should become a homeowner. Whether that means you plan on living in one location for a couple of years or you plan on starting a family sometime soon, it will probably benefit you to invest in real estate. Wanting to settle down also means you are ready to take care of a home, which comes along with the excitement of decorating and changing it to meet your needs. 

Are you thinking about making the big move from renting to buying? If so, why not check out Copper Square? We are located in a growing community in the heart of Connecticut!  Come see our luxurious townhomes and duplexes and take a peek inside our amenities!

Why You Should Buy a Home

If you’re a first time homebuyer, chances are you have friends and family encouraging you to buy a home. Regardless, you might still be on the fence between buying and renting. Don't panic, we're here to help! Below a few reasons why you should take the leap and invest in your very own home:


Ownership. Pride of ownership is the number one reason you should buy a home. There’s a feeling of comfort and security you get when a home belongs to you that you can’t get when you move in and out of rentals.

Freedom of design. When you rent a home, it’s not always easy to decorate the way you’d like. But when you invest in a home, you have the freedom to make the space your own. And one of the advantages here is that you can choose what will make your home the best investment in the long run.

Deduct property taxes. Another advantage to owning a home is receiving tax breaks. Unlike renters, property owners can enjoy a deduction of home-related expenses. This includes reductions for house payment and home loans. 

Increase privacy. Knowing that you can retreat to your own private space is another benefit of buying a home. With renting comes more shared space, but when you invest in your own home, you can have peace of mind knowing that you have a private place to retreat to at the end of the day.

Are you past the decision-making process and ready to search for your new home? Why not check out Copper Square? We offer luxurious townhomes and duplexes in the growing community of Bethel, CT! Our Models, Design Studio & Sales Center are now open. Call today at (203)778-4800 or visit our website for more information.

10 Fun Ways to Decorate Your Home for Halloween

Halloween weekend is just a week away! Create a BOO-tiful and festive home for the holiday with these 10 fun decor ideas:


Candlesticks. Light up the night with candlesticks set in a black candelabrum, which makes for a sophisticated dining room centerpiece.


Spiderwebs. Authentic-looking cobwebs can come easy when you hot-glue them over small decor pieces that sit on your fireplace mantle or shelf. 

Pumpkins. Go traditional by laying out pumpkins throughout the home. Whether on your front stoop, on your kitchen counter, or in the center of your kitchen table, pumpkins are an obvious sign that Halloween is just around the corner!

Glowing Lights. When it gets dark outside, light up your home by setting up a few glowing lights at your front door. This can be glow-in-the-dark balloons, LED lights, or solar light planters. 

Floral Centerpiece. Change up your regular table centerpiece for a beautiful, yet shockingly creative arrangement instead. An orange bouquet or an ivory one crawling with creepy spiders will certainly set the vibe for this year’s Hallow's Eve. 

Wreath. Share your Halloween spirit with your community by hanging a festive wreath on your front door. Choose one that lights up or is shaped like a crescent moon - you’ll receive plenty of compliments!  

Silhouette Lampshade. Set the ambiance for Halloween by switching up your lampshade with a more festive option! A white shade with silhouettes of bats or black cats not only symbolizes Halloween but also creates contrast. 

Garland. Hanging garland is perfect for parties or if you want to add lots of color. From ghosts to witches to pumpkins, there are plenty of themes from which to choose!

Ornaments. Do you have a tall house plant? Decorate it by hanging Hallows Eve-inspired ornaments to represent this spooky holiday.

Candy Jars. Surprise your guests to a sweet treat by making your decor edible. Set out a clear glass jar fill with candy corns or orange-colored jelly beans!

Ways to Make Your Home Feel More Cozy

When the cooler weather makes you want to curl up at home, you know it’s time to prepare your home for the winter months that lie ahead. Making a quick list of ways to play with color and texture is the first step to making your home feel cozy.

Before you dive into decorating, here are a few tips to help get you started:


Add dark colors. Put away the bright decor and bring out the darker shades instead. When you play up a room with deep reds, browns, and magentas, you’re reminded that there’s no place more comfortable than your very own home!

Mix and match. Don’t be afraid to mix things up. When it comes to materials, combining leather and fleece or velvet and cashmere can set the mood for the fall and winter months and invite you to relax with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book.

Layer it up. Stow away your sheer window treatments for heavy shades (or two different types of shades). Your curtains play an important role in decorating for the changing seasons - the color, length, material - every detail counts! When the weather is cold outside, thick drapes can help to insulate your home, providing more shade to set the mood for a relaxing afternoon or evening.

Roll out more rugs. Add more rugs in your home this season. If staying warm means adding more layers, then rolling out floor runners on your wooden floor and bathroom tile is exactly what you should do. The more carpeting you add, the warmer you will feel.

Fall Festivities for Cooler Weather

Every autumn is a reminder of just how beautiful Connecticut is this time of year. Nothing is better than heading outdoors to observe the changing leaves or lounging around a fire. At Copper Square, you’re close enough to many outdoor festivities but also have fun options right outside your door:


Coffee Bar. Any place where you can enjoy a hot cup of coffee and some peace and quiet is ideal for those days when you just feel like getting cozy. Not only is Copper Square close to several coffee shops, but we also have a coffee bar right on site that includes Wi-Fi - the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and surf the web.

Movies. Everyone knows that the theater is a great escape on those chilly evenings. At Copper Square, we are close enough to the cinemas but also offer the perfect spot to kick back and relax when the weather might not be warm enough to head outside. Our Screening Room features a 120” screen, surround sound, and stadium seating!

Billiards. Game rooms are one place to go for drinks and a fun time. Now add a fireplace to the mix and there you have the great place to retreat to either in the afternoon or after dinner. When you join Copper Clubhouse, you can slip a few cocktails while challenging your friends to a game of pool (or sitting by fireside).

Autumn Outings. Fall also means we’re an inch away from Halloween. Bethel is filled with fall festivities to get you in the Halloween spirit! Whether you enjoy apple picking or corn mazes, Copper Square is just minutes away from some of the best spots in Connecticut for a weekend outing.

Firepit. Nothing beats a cool autumn evening, gathering around a firepit with friends (and some roasted marshmallows). Copper Square offers a large outdoor fire circle at our Elements Pool Deck and Bar where you can get together with new friends and old. 

As you can see, Copper Square offers all the fall  fun you could need right outside your front door!

Why Now is the Best Time to Find Your Dream Home

Fall is a picturesque time of year - the leaves are turning, the air is crisp, and and the skies are still sunny. We can’t think of a more perfect time for house hunting. But aside from that, there are plenty of other reasons why autumn is the season to find your new home. Here are just a few reasons why you should start the search now:


1. Cooler weather. Say goodbye to the scorching heat and hello to the beautiful fresh air! Fall is that time of year when the weather is just between being too hot and too cold, which makes it ideal for walking from one house to the next in search for the perfect home.  

2. Beautiful drive. Aside from the cool temperatures, autumn is also known for its breathtaking foliage. If you plan on living in a climate where the leaves change colors, then you’ll love driving around to different neighborhoods and passing by rows of red, orange, and yellow.

3. Lower prices. If you find the perfect home and want to settle in right away, then you’re in luck! Moving during the fall will make the process a more cost-efficient one since moving services are lower than other times during the year.      

4. Interest rates are still low. Want to put a downpayment on your future home today? Don’t wait! Interest rates for 2015 are still low, which means you can more likely afford the house of your dreams.

Are you in the process of looking for your new home? If so, come check out Copper Square! We are located in the heart of Connecticut, where you can find stunning fall foliage and beautiful weather. At Copper Square, we offer luxury townhomes and duplexes with all the customized personal touches you desire! Visit our gallery »

How to Decorate Your Home With Autumn Colors

When the leaves start to change, you’ll find yourself wanting to add those warm, rich tones to your home. Looking for a little inspiration to cozy things up for autumn? Try these four fall colors:


Red. The color red is known for its ability to raise a room’s energy levels. This makes it a great hue for spicing up conversations in your entertainment spaces, like the living room and dining room. While you don’t necessarily want to overwhelm the room with this color, adding little touches here and there can put you in the mood for the harvest season!

Orange.
“Pumpkin” and “Butternut Orange” are perfect shades to brighten up your space. From flowers to plush accessories, there are many ways you can subtly incorporate this color into your home. And when you pair orange with neutral colors, you can really feel like you’re immersed in the heart of autumn!

Yellow.
Shades of yellow aren’t just meant for summer. In fact, you can utilize this color to add joy and excitement throughout your home during the fall too! But of course, we all know yellow can be glaring, which is why mixing it up with warmer tones is the best way to go.

Brown.
What would autumn be without neutral shades of brown? Whether it be a light or a dark color, using a combination of beige and chocolate can soften the look of a room and give it a more rustic feel - perfect for this time of year!

How to Organize Your Closet on a Budget

Getting ready to cross "organize closet" off your fall cleaning list? Before you jump into it, learn how a few budget-friendly hacks can help you tidy up that space so you can always find what you're looking for:

Make use of shelves. You can use shelves for many of your closet items, including shirts, pants, shoes, and even an extra set of bed sheets - a great way to keep clothes from wrinkling and getting mixed up.

Hang your bags. It’s easy for large handbags to get crushed in your closet. But hanging your bags on sturdy hooks can prevent them from losing their shape. Plus, you'll always know exactly where to find them!

Buy canvas boxes. Canvas boxes are budget-friendly and can help you stow away those summer clothes during the fall and winter months. The best part? These boxes have cards you can label so you can easy spot what goes where.

Double up your hangers. Hanging all of your favorite tops on organizational hangers not only keeps them wrinkle-free but also creates a space for all those clothes you wear most often. That way, you don't have to go searching every time you want to wear it.

Part of getting your closet organized means having a place for everything. By getting creative with these budget-friendly tools you no longer need to take extra time trying to find that one misplaced item. At Copper Square, we offer luxurious townhomes and duplexes with lots of storage space to let your creativity run free! Our Models, Design Studio & Sales Center are now open. Call today at (203)778-4800 or visit our website for more information.

Easy Ways to Warm Up Your Home for Fall

While we’re sad to see summer go, we can’t help but feel excited for fall! Aside from the beautiful foliage outside, we love the idea of turning your home into a cozy space. Between warm colors and lots of layers, here are a few of our favorite ways you can change up the decor in your home this season:


Mixing Pillows. Since you and your family will be spending more time indoors soon, it’s a good idea to change the color of your couch accessories. For example, swap your bright yellow and blue pillows and throws for rich, warm hues instead. Red, brown, and orange tones (like pumpkin) are all great options to put you in the spirit! 

Warming up layers. Layering your rugs not only adds extra cushion and warmth below your feet, but it also sets the tone for the fall and winter months. When it comes to creating layers, there aren’t any set rules - just add as you feel looks and feels best.

Updating shades. Sheer curtains are great for warmer months, but once fall rolls around, it’s time to bring out those thicker layers! Adding more insulated shades made from bamboo or other natural materials can warm things up a bit - especially when you choose the right color and pattern.

Switching up bedding. Stow away your throws and quilts and bring out the heavy down comforter in return. This is one way you can save money on your electric bills while staying comfortably warm this winter. However, if you love your quilt too much to toss it aside, you can fold it up and lay it across the foot of the bed just in case you need it!

Lighting. Set the tone for fall by setting up candles throughout your home. By adding candles (especially scented ones) you can create a cozy atmosphere and ease tension after a long, cold day outside.

How to Pack Fast and Move Fast

Last-minute moves are common and often the most stressful, but luckily there are a few things you can do to make it easier. If you have only a few weeks to pack up and head out, here are a few tips to consider:


Start early. As soon as you sign the dotted line for your next home, start making a to-do list. It also helps to pack the items you use less often first, such as fine china, books, and photo albums. 

Assign a room for packing. Choose a vacant room or one you rarely use. Label boxes to get yourself organized and keep packing tape, bubble wrap, and other materials on hand in there. Make sure to also keep a trash bag handy in the room, so you don’t have to walk back and forth across the house to throw out what you don’t need.

Be strategic. When you begin packing, mark each box with all the information you need to know to keep organized. Don’t forget to put together a box for “Day One”, which includes towels, toiletries, an extra pair of clothes, and other necessary items to make moving day easier. You can also make things simpler by labeling both sides of your boxes, that way you won’t waste time sorting through boxes to find what you need while packing and unpacking.

Pack lightly. Don’t make your move more stressful by packing too heavily. If your boxes are filled to the brim and weigh over 100 pounds, they can break the moment you lift them. So even if it means you have more boxes to carry, imagine how stressed you'd feel if you had to pack all over again.

Bethel Students Earn High SAT Scores for 2015

We are happy to announce that Bethel High School students have increased their performance on the 2015 SATs. Bethel holds a high reputation for its excellent education and the following test scores exemplify why:


While other US public schools received reading scores of 489, Connecticut schools received a score of 494. And while other US schools earned a score of 475 on the writing portion of the exam, students from Connecticut received a score of 494. Overall, students from Bethel High School and other Connecticut schools exceeded the performance of those from other public schools in the nation.

It is noted that Math will be the primary focus for academic studies next year, as many students across the country continue to score lowest this section of the SATs. However, students in Connecticut and in other regions plan to experiment innovative ways on how to earn even better results.

At Copper Square, we take pride in knowing that our community’s students strive hard to raise the bar for schools across the country. Bethel High School is dedicated to establishing an excellent and accomplished curriculum so that its students can go on to achieve a successful higher education for themselves.

How to Make the Perfect Bed

Friday is National Make Your Bed Day! Tidying up your bed in the morning is one of those tedious tasks we all would like to avoid, but believe it or not making your bed look and feel great is easier than you might think. If you’re looking for a few tips on how to spruce it up, consider the following ideas:


Add layers. Layering it up with multiple styles, patterns, and textures is one way to create the perfect bed. First, make sure you have a clean, fitted sheet. Then, add a coverlet or quilt (depending on the season) and fold another quilt at the foot of your bed. When you add multiple layers, not only are you making an eye-catching design, but you’re also assembling a comfortable place to retreat to at the end of the day!

Try custom monogramming. Adding your signature to your sheets is another way to make your bed feel a bit more luxurious. It’s also a great way of stamping your personal touch to your bedroom. Bonus tip: having at least three sets of sheets for each bed in your home will allow you to always have a fresh clean stack when you need to change things up.

Mix and match. Avoid an ordinary bedroom by mixing up patterns and textures. When you combine contrasting patterns and stick to one color palette, you add warmth and character to your space, which will make you never want to leave your bedroom!

Add pillows. No bed is complete without layers upon layers of pillows! Not only are these textiles essential for getting a good night’s sleep, but they also make your bed more visually appealing. So, make your space more plush with sets of euro shams and front-facing pillows. And don’t forget to mix up the room’s colors and textures too!

How to Arrange Your Living Room Furniture

Arranging furniture can seem like a tricky project. Not only do you want your space to look great, but you also want it to be functional. If you’re feeling stuck on how to arrange your living room furniture, consider these five ideas:


Face-to-Face. Arranging your furniture so that all pieces face each other is one way to coordinate your seating. Place a coffee table in between and you’ll have a great setup for coffee and conversation.

Divide it up. If your living room is on the larger side, consider separating your room into two zones. On one side, add a dining room table, and on the other, place a sofa facing the opposite direction. This is an ideal arrangement for friend and family gatherings!

Two pairs of chairs. You can cozy up your home by adding four chairs instead of a loveseat or a sofa. Set it up so that each chair is facing the other and place a small, round coffee table in the center for a functional, yet welcoming arrangement.

Diagonals. Did you know that you can make your large room look even bigger by setting up your furniture diagonally? This alignment will create a clear pathway into your seating setup and add lots of depth to your space! And don’t forget to add a rectangular coffee table in front for a full architectural effect.

Activity zone. Adding a sofa, two chairs, and a small table all in different spots of your living room will not only divide things up, but it will also make for a great entertaining space! If you have a family or you’re big on hosting, this option is certainly one you want to try.

Thinking about investing in a new home? There’s no better time than now! Thanks to a boost in economic movement, 2015 is expected to be the best year to put your money into ownership. Here are three reasons why:


1. Low interest rates. Lucky for investors, interest rates have dropped once again and should remain low through the rest of the year! So, if you want to jump on the homebuying bandwagon, now is your chance, especially since it’s nearly impossible to predict if rates will rise in 2016.

2. Low down payments for mortgages. In light of other great news, down payments for conventional mortgages have recently returned to 3 percent (from 5 percent). This means you can save more money that will help you purchase a home sooner rather than later!

3. Rent isn’t cheap. If you’re on the fence about buying and are thinking about renting, you should know that rent isn’t getting cheaper. In fact, landlords are increasing rental rates every year. And what this means is that you might start spending more money in your pocket than you even started out with! With that being said, investing in a new home might actually be cheaper in the long run.

So should you invest in a new home now? The answer is yes! With low interest rates, low down payments for mortgages, and high rent, there are plenty of reasons to consider buying your dream home now!

#TipsTuesday | How to Motivate Yourself to Clean

You like a tidy house, but can’t find the energy to clean. We know how you feel - cleaning isn’t the most exciting task. But even for those who don’t mind spending hours doing so, there are a few things you can do to make it a little more enjoyable:


Turn on some tunes. Create a playlist just for cleaning, that way you might find a little more inspiration to get up and move around. Not to mention, playing upbeat music can put you in the zone and set the pace for a quick tidy-up. 

Trade tasks with a friend. Sometimes helping someone else clean is easier than cleaning for yourself. So ask a close friend to switch things up - offer to fold their laundry if they mop your kitchen floors.

Reward yourself. Rewarding yourself is often a good tactic when you need some motivation. So make a deal that you will watch your favorite TV show or treat yourself to a delicious dessert only after you tidy up what needs to be taken care of.

Try an audio book. A great story can be a good distraction. And while you might not be able to read a book while cleaning, you can certainly plug your headphones in and start an audio book. You can even turn it into a routine that you do weekly, even if that means you only get through one chapter.

Don’t put supplies away. If putting your cleaning supplies back where they came from is one extra task you’d rather avoid, then keep them out. But if having them lay around makes your head spin, you can place them on a shelf in one location rather than storing them in several different cabinets.
