Step 3: focus on relationships The difference between a normal house and your home is dependant on the relationships that are found in your house. People make the home not furniture. Ensure that your house is a place where people feel close to each other and there are strong relationships in that house.

Step 7: Clean your home After dealing with the physical environment that involved repainting the house and making changes to the furniture, the next thing that you need to do is to ensure that that your house is clean for use and able to make you feel comfortable in your own home. This does not in any way mean that your house should always be spotlessly clean to the extent of making people uncomfortable. It just means that you don’t get into the habit of living in a bad dirty house.
