Did you know that wax paper can do more than just keep your sandwiches fresh? This kitchen staple is often overlooked, but it’s packed with potential for solving everyday dilemmas around your home. Let’s dive into some unexpected and super handy tips.

Easing Stuck Zippers

Wax paper can be a lifesaver for dealing with stuck zippers on jackets, bags, or even jeans. Simply rub a piece of wax paper along the teeth of the zipper. The wax transfers onto the tracks and acts as a lubricant, easing the sliding motion and reducing squeaks. 

Protecting Surfaces While Painting

Wax paper is a great solution for keeping paint off surfaces. Because of its water-resistant properties, wax paper can be used to protect doorknobs, hinges, and hardware during home painting projects. Simply cover these areas with wax paper and secure it with painter’s tape. 

Sharpening Garden Tools

Gardeners will appreciate this lesser-known use of wax paper. By using wax paper to clean and sharpen the blades of garden tools, not only do you prolong their life, but you also improve their performance. Rubbing your shears, spades, and other metal tools with wax paper removes dirt and grime and leaves behind a thin layer of wax, which prevents rust and keeps the blades sharp.

Transforming your bathroom into a refreshing oasis can be as simple as introducing a few plants. In fact, many plants thrive in the humid, often low-light conditions of bathrooms. Not sure where to start? Here’s a guide to the best plants that can bring a green touch to your bathroom space.

Peace Lily

The peace lily is a wonderful option for the bathroom because it loves the shade and requires little light. This plant will bring a tropical feel to your bathroom. Plus, it’s great for air purification, and removing mold spores and toxins. 

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is an ideal plant for decorating and improving the air quality in your bathroom. It thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and doesn’t require a lot of watering, which makes it perfect for this often overlooked space in your home. The succulent leaves are also practical. You can use the gel inside to soothe minor cuts and burns.

Bamboo

For a modern and exotic touch, this is a great option. Bamboo is an incredibly resilient and versatile plant that can grow in low light and high humidity. It can grow in water, making it exceptionally low maintenance. Just change the water every two to three weeks, and you’ll have a thriving plant with minimal effort.

It’s hard to ignore the houseplants trend. From homes to cafes to gyms, natural greenery is used in all sorts of interiors to lend a touch of freshness, beauty and interest. If you’re tempted to add some plants to your home but feel unsure about which ones are likely to survive, just check out this guide to three of the easiest to care for houseplants.

Aloe Vera

This sturdy succulent loves being placed in a well-lit window, where it can soak up as much light as possible. Give it some water about once a week (or once a fortnight in the winter) and provide it with some plant food around once a month and you should have no problems keeping your aloe vera alive.

Spider Plant

The main form of care you may need to provide for your spider plant is removing the many ‘spiderlets’ which your initial plant can produce. These offshoots can stay on the main plant, but if you want a tidier looking plant you may need to cut them off and repot them. 

String Of Hearts

These trailing plants can look stunning draped over some shelves or a bookcase. Ensure they get plenty of light and water them around once a week. With this care and attention, your string of hearts should thrive in most indoor environments.

Houseplants are a super popular choice for home decor. They look so great in any room and bring some freshness and life to the space. Many of them also have air filtering properties which are super beneficial to have in your home. If you’re looking for a houseplant to add to your living space, then here are some that are super fun and easy to look after.

Snake Plant

These quirky plants are called this due to their slightly scaly appearance and snake-shaped leaves. They can grow to be very big and look super stylish in any room. They’re also well-known for being very easy to look after. 

Pothos

Also known as ‘Devil’s Ivy’, these bright plants can be hung up to let their leaves trail down or given a post to allow them to climb. They not only look amazing but are very easy to care for.

Spider Plant

These funky, bright plants are known for their iconic spiky leaves which spread out in all directions. They are fun and fresh and bring some style and life to any space. They are also fairly low maintenance.

Monstera

These iconic plants are well-known by their other name ‘Swiss Cheese Plant’ due to the big holes in their leaves. They are popular due to their stylish appearance and don’t need much attention to grow big and strong.

Mermaidcore is one of the biggest home décor crazes to emerge this year, and it will help you welcome dreamy and whimsical vibes into your home. If you’re ready to dive in and give this trend your seal of approval, these tips will help you transform your home into a mermaid’s paradise.

Color Palette

The easiest way to welcome the ethereal beauty of the ocean into your home is to embrace the shades of aqua, turquoise, and seafoam green through your walls, furniture, and smaller décor pieces.

Textures and Fabrics

You can go full mermaidcore through the use of fabrics and pillows that perfectly mimic the glistening scales of a mermaid’s tail. Pillows, rugs, blankets, and curtains can all help you capture the essence of the sea in your home.

Seashell Delights

Seashells are one of the main staples of the mermaidcore craze, and the list of possible home décor pieces you can welcome into your home includes everything from pillows and frames to vases and candles.

Underwater Lighting

If you’re looking for a seamless way to create the right ambiance in your home, the right lighting will get you there. Consider adding string shell-shaped lamps and jellyfish tanks to the mix to spice things up.

Tiny Accents

They say that “God is in the details”, and that’s certainly true when it comes to the mermaidcore trend. Tiny décor pieces, from wall art to mermaid figurines and candles, will make a huge difference in your home.
