Here it comes again - just like last Passover, the preparations for the traditional Rosh Hashanah meal or family vacation abroad will be replaced by preparations for a second closure. True, the situation is not ideal, but it's time to squeeze what is left of the lemon to the end and turn it into lemonade. The house easily and quickly and soak up a festive atmosphere, even if a little different.

A new Hebrew year symbolizes renewal and blossoming and often also the opening shot for the coming of the cold seasons waiting around the corner. Because as it looks right now the next few weeks will be spent in homes. To be precise, optimistic and festive, and maybe it will help us direct our thoughts about next year on us (for good?) To positive places.

"Although we are already practicing, but since the previous closure in which we arranged and fixed the houses, quite a few months have passed, so I recommend first of all to start with a kind of 'Passover Seder' that will buy us as comfortable a living space," says Miri Belbul, home styling expert and school owner Scola. "It is highly recommended to take advantage of the time we were supposed to spend preparing holiday meals for the whole family in arranging the accumulated wardrobes, binders and paperwork, and all that is unnecessary to transfer AS IS to recycling or garbage.

"An orderly and organized home has an effect on our feelings and mood, so even before we approach their style and add a holiday atmosphere, it is important to create an organized living space that gives the subconscious a sense of calm and serenity."

It is indeed Rosh Hashanah, but it is better to start with the "Passover Seder".

She recommends concentrating all the things you decide to leave according to themes in baskets or decorative boxes.

"I would assign baskets for leisure time that will serve us well during these weeks - a basket for magazines, a basket for puzzles and games, etc. and organize a place of honor for them in the living room or family corner. So when you finish quality time with the kids you can quickly return the games to the basket and leave the space tidy."

According to interior designer Keren Gens, the coming period is an opportunity to re-examine whether the furniture in the various rooms in the house is positioned in the best and most efficient way: "Before you rush to load carts with designer accessories, it is important to understand that all it takes to improve flow is better. The furniture in the space, "she explains.

"The mass and proportion of each item is very important and before we think about whether they are beautiful and compatible it is important that we understand whether they are practical, comfortable and allow us to create transitions and harmony: where in the room best to place the bed and desk, at what angle should stand the sofa and at what distance from the table "And so on. Between the dining table and the wall, for example, it is recommended to keep at least 80 cm, so it will be easy and comfortable to move the chair, while between the seating system and the living room table, it is recommended to create a space of 30 cm," she says.

The mass and proportion of each item are of great importance.

According to Gens, "The structure of the space plays an important role in the way we place the furniture, so for example in a rectangular space it is recommended to place the furniture against the narrower axis. This gives a more proportionate and balanced feeling. The sofa should not be placed against the long wall so as not to emphasize dimension. The length.Square space makes our lives easier: it is recommended to place the seating system in a way that creates a kind of conversation circle.To break the square mass it is advisable to combine items like side tables or armchairs or rounded chairs.Angular or diagonal spaces are recommended to "align" and balance on The furniture and objects, for example, place storage units in these areas that will straighten the corners. "

Desktop or floor lighting to complete the atmosphere.

And furniture, for lighting: Tishrei holidays are also the period when the days get shorter, so lighting has an important and central role during it.

"In such a short period of time as the time left until the start of the closure, the goal is not to change the lighting system in the house but to enrich it and give it highlights by desktop or floor lighting fixtures that will flood the room with softened and soothing light," explains Confusion.

"It is important to choose warm white bulbs (between 2700-3000 K) that are considered optimal in this case. Usually all that is needed is one, unique and special lighting fixture that will fulfill both the function and bring a new and refreshing design twist to the space."

If for you a holiday is not a holiday as long as you have not checked what the chains and home decor stores have to offer for the New Year, it seems that you can find plenty of items and accessories with which you can make a big change without breaking a savings plan.

The new year brings with it a wealth of new products and collections and of course benefits and promotions - in stores (just before they close) and online sites.

These promotions are a good opportunity to upgrade the pillows, curtains, rugs, wall coverings and accessories in line with the prevailing trends for 2021.

Opportunity to invest in accessories for next year that will be especially colorful.

According to the leading trendologists and design sites in the world, next year will be characterized (contrary to all predictions) by dramatic and intense colors of gold, black and brass, orange, light blue and bottle green and from the other side of the fan the pastel colors will also stand out.

The examples are more textural than before and also bigger and bolder.

In doing so there is a prominent representation of vegan and conscious design that includes the use of consumables and recycled materials.
