All of us are aspiring for more comfortable life especially, when we are talking about our lifestyles. There are what we call lifestyle of the rich and famous, and poor and infamous. But, how cacn we make ourselves feel at ease and comfortable inside our house?
Last time, we made a visit on our classmate's house. When I first saw that, the first thing came to my mind was a miniature house because of its narrow surroundings filled with too much furnitures, shelves, and appliances. It has only one bedroom, but they are four in the family, no wonder why they dont hire a house maid. And, I think that her house is less spacious and is limited only for two persons to survive.
There are several ways to have a comfortable life inside your house. First, if you can hire an interior designer to plan for a renovation of your surroundings, it would be better, but you must have enough money to finance all the expenses like construction workers, an other materials needed. Second, if you cannot afford to have an interior designer, you can do your own renovations, for example, you can remove some unnecessary furnitures and shelves or appliances and make some arrangements. Third, if you dont want to open your windows for complete privacy, you can still have ventilation by installing an exhaust fan. If your walls aren't painted, and you are in the midst of choosing wallpapers for them, choose light colors of either pink, yellow, or simply white, for they are relaxing in our eyes.
Start your renovation with contentment of whatever your surroundings will look like, and remember that we can fulfill our aspirations if we feel comfortable with the way we live.

Well, the thing is when coming from a larger family sometimes can be doing anything like this, even if you wanted too, is $$. Could also be time.
Many times in order for a family to be able to live within their means financially this often means having to live in smaller than what they would like, and many times having to do without extras. Maybe to them this is comfortable so in reality it is their life. All you can really do is make some suggestions and let them decide from there.

of course, when you have large family with a small funds, it is so expensive to hire a designer, so, since it is your own house to reform, you can do it yourself. families are able to live within their means and each member contributes a lot in order to live. what I'm saying is even though they are struggling financially, they can make their lives comfortable and they can enjoy everything in their own comfort... :)

You dont need an interior designer to make YOUR life comfortable. Yes, having everything sorted has its perk but if someone is used to living that way and developed his comfort arround that surrounding ,its not necessary for him to sort it out. Obviously ,if he has guests coming over regularly ,he or she might have to clean it up and make it more presentable.

yeah. hiring an interior designer is just an option. there are some rich people who hire their own interior designer just to decorate their house or everything within. Yeah, people must develop the way they can feel comfortable even if he lives in poor areas.

We can have the most comfortable life even if we just live in a small house. The furniture, appliances and other things does not really matter. Material things does not matter much. What should matter is the people that lives in that house- that they live in a very peaceful and loving environment.

Organized stuffs have an added importance on having comfortable life. We live by ourselves, in our world, in one place, in one area which we call house, and since we have our own house, we have to be organized, I mean, we need not to be careless in our stuffs whether they are appliances, furnitures, or shelves. Of course, people who live is the most important, and the best people living are those who are organized.

It is nice and satisfying to attain wealth and fame like many around the globe who have everything they need.But as for me and others out there who are less fortunate and not lucky enough laboring each day to make ends meet, let us look at the brighter side, so they say.
Proverbs 28:6
Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, Than he that is perverse in [his] ways, though he be rich.
Matthew 19:24
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
If we want a more comfortable life which we cannot attain here on earth, we better strive to be righteous to enter into the place which they call heaven..
Proverbs 28:6
Better is the poor man whose ways are upright, than the man of wealth whose ways are not straight.

yeah, you're right. being a poor doesn't mean you can attain comfortable life. you can make yourself comfortable even if you live on small abode. you just have to be contented on what you have, look forward for a brighter future, live according to god's will and seek his wisdom. :)

I won't contradict your thoughts. It is your opinion and opinions are always right. Many people are just average in this economy and living comfortably is what everyone wants. Wanting comfort is also an inspiration to have beautiful life in the future. Well, all of what you say is right but believe me with this... Comfortable living is not a solution to happiness for many families are contented with their simple life. What matter is we are contented and happy. Happy mylotting!

Thanks. But, for me, in order to be satisfied with the way we live, we must be comfortable with anything no matter what will make us comfortable, either in your studies, clothings, foods, etc. And the contentment of whatever we have depends on what we make us comfortable. And I know that we will feel better if we are comfortable with everything. :)
