Create The Perfect Atmosphere
If you are anything like me, you are always aware of and very concerned with the atmosphere of the place you're in. It doesn't matter whether you are in your bedroom, your office, or in a coffee shop. You are easily affected by the atmosphere around you and you are pretty particular about the way things look, the way things smell and even the way things are arranged around you. Sound familiar? I live every moment of every day being nagged by my desire to have the perfect atmosphere no matter what situation I find myself in.
For a long time my desire for a particular atmosphere was a source of frustration to me. I wanted to stop caring so much if the furniture wasn't arranged just so or if the paint color on the wall didn't meet my expectations. And while I will obviously never be able to control every atmosphere I find myself in, I decided to start doing small things in any place that I could make changes, and this has made a huge difference for me.
One of the biggest things that affects me about any atmosphere is the lighting. I cannot stand being in a room that is filled with florescent lights and I hate it when natural sunlight is shut out of any room. I think that any atmosphere is made better by natural lighting and by lamps when there is a lack of natural light. I began adding a lamp or two to every room of my house and office so that I would feel comfortable and absolutely peaceful in each of both of these places. I'd encourage anyone who cares about atmosphere to invest in great lamps. They bring uniqueness, beauty, and great light into any space.
Another main thing for me with atmosphere is color. I rarely like to be somewhere that everything is white. I'm usually up for even a little bit of color on the wall, in furntiture or even just in accessories. Most homes, offices, churches, and stores could benefit greatly from choosing a great color scheme and sticking with it. I see so many spaces that are decorated with mismatching colors and it just makes the atmosphere awful. Add a little color to your walls and see what it does to the atmosphere of your space.
The third huge thing that makes or breaks an atmosphere for me is the smell. I have a pretty sensitive nose, so I'm always aware of whether a space smells good or bad. One of the best things my wife ever did was invest in some amazing scented candles that she spread throughout our home. I love the smell of our living room after a candle has been burning for a couple of hours. I take every chance to open our windows and let in the smells of nature. Oh what a difference a cool breeze or the smell of a fresh batch of cookies makes to any atmosphere. Find simple ways to make your space smell better.
I am really affected by the atmosphere I'm in. Fortunately, I've learned that an atmosphere can be changed with just a few small things. Take my advice: atmosphere matters. Do what it takes to enjoy the places you dwell.

We wanted a bench that would stand out and represented our love of our hubby/dad/grandad who passed recently. It would be his 50th birthday this week and we’re so pleased with the bench and now fitted with a plaque that suits beautifully. Thank you wayfair

I ordered this for gardening tools and live in an area with a lot of rain. I am very happy with how watertight it is and how easy it was to put together. The top takes a strong person to snap into place but other than that, this is well worth it. Now that I have been using it for a while I am surprised by how cheap this was. Definitely worth it.

I ordered it as birthday present so I will not be using it. But I know my sister will love it. But most importantly, thank you for delivering it to my back door. That was a pleasant, impressive surprise. Thank you very much to UPS!!!

This was everything I expected. It is not only great for storage but it is also extra seating outside. I not only really liked this product but I purchased one for my son and his family! 5 star.

These are super cute and just as pictured. They went up easily with tiny nails, and they're perfect for air plants. I'd buy more/recommend them!

Bench is a lovely color and I love that there is a little table that pops up in the middle. There are some dried paint drips, the table section where it locks in place was cracked, and some seams show, which I’m not super happy about. Hoping it will be a sturdy bench that will last is regardless.

Not too difficult to put together. Really comfortable. Should have gone for darker colour cushions with having 2 dogs!!

I completely disagree with all negative reviews about this product. I was quite sceptical given the low price and array of negative reviews but I can't speak highly enough about it. Took about 45 mins to build, very straightforward, fits adult shoes perfectly (as you will see from the photo). Accessorised with a couple of cushions from www.boisecloggers.com too. Couldn't be happier. Obviously, if you buy this you should expect a plywood material rather than hardwood but the product is very good value for money. I would highly recommend!

Great match for the armless ones .......the arms give them that little something extra that makes them perfect for the younger set at the table.

Easy to build, good instructions and looks great. Really pleased with it so far - looks brill in my hallway and means the kids aren’t sprawled on the floor taking their shoes off every day :)
