Autumn Tan Leather Executive Armchairs and Modern Vignette For Your New Home<\/p><\/div>\n

Transitioning into a new space is an exciting process, albeit settling in can at time feel a bit… unsettling. \u00a0Once the boxes are delivered\u00a0and the movers leave, the process of transforming this new and\u00a0unfamiliar atmosphere into your very own new\u00a0home<\/em>\u00a0can begin. \u00a0In the years I have lived in Chicago, I have had five apartments and a list of my go-to methods I consider part of the standard moving procedure so I can immediately settle in and feel at home:<\/p>\n

Modern Vignette<\/strong>: \u00a0If\u00a0useful\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0beautiful<\/em> are the criteria, consider a vignette to be a bit of both.\u00a0Looking to an empty side table, mantel or empty\u00a0shelf, a well-balanced modern vignette\u00a0has a stronger transformative\u00a0power on the entire room than you might realize. \u00a0There are no hard rules when it comes to creating\u00a0a modern vignette, though I find sticking to three or<\/strong> five items\u00a0and thinking symmetrically looks best, lest it turn into a knick-knack nightmare. \u00a0Exactly which<\/em> items to use? \u00a0Consider it a chance to have fun with functional items as decor: clocks, lighting, plants, its up to you! \u00a0If it brings you joy when you see it, even just a little bit, \u00a0then you did it right.<\/p>\n

Lighting<\/strong>– If mind-numbingly harsh LED overhead lighting is not your thing (what I call the\u00a0alien mothership <\/em>lights), look to the infinite other lighting options. \u00a0Whether its the\u00a0ostentatious chandelier\u00a0or a $5 table lamp, accent lighting instantly\u00a0changes an atmosphere from a one-size-fits-all to your personal sanctuary.<\/p>\n

Signature scent<\/strong>– We all know smell is the strongest sense linked\u00a0to memory and moving into your new home means memories are in the making. Diffuse your signature scent (anything lavender or sage are my favorites), throughout your new home early on and soon it will become the first thing you, and everyone else, will notice upon walking in the door. \u00a0Years from now, this scent it will trigger all the memories of this settling in phase in your new home.<\/p>\n

Furniture<\/strong>– Form follows function, in other words, step 1, make it useful then<\/em>\u00a0step 2, make it beautiful\u00a0(not the other way around). \u00a0Comfort is a\u00a0key ingredient in settling in, so if you are using the floor in your home office to sit, those\u00a0Executive Armchairs<\/a>\u00a0 you’ve been considering are going to serve a critical\u00a0purpose and address your immediate need which is to stop using the floor as a chair (and they happen to be beautiful too, two birds one stone). \u00a0After this, you can go crazy with\u00a0your modern decor ideas you have been pinning.<\/p>\n

Entertaining<\/strong>– There is a reason its not called a housecooling<\/em> party, but even after you throw your housewarming party, \u00a0filling a new apartment \u00a0with friends and loved ones is always means good\u00a0memories\u00a0in a new home.<\/p>\n
