While Martha Stewart can offer you lots of suggestions that seem to be overwhelming, she will also tell you to remember on simple rule: keep it simple! Less is more and that includes in your home as well. Add a few minor personal touches to your home and keep the atmosphere clean, and elegant, and you will have the home you have dreamed of.

Here are 5 great tips that are certain to win the approval of even the most discriminating homemaking experts, including Martha Stewart.

1. What is a sweeter way to make your guests feel welcome and at home that to have candy and sweets ready for them to enjoy? We all remember the days that we would visit our grandmothers, who never had an empty candy dish. Your home doesn’t have to be any different. In fact, you can even fill your candy dishes with personalized M&Ms that have your family’s initials on them or some other special message like the word “welcome”. You can place these little treats in guest bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens. They are colorful and definitely elegant and a great way to say welcome!

2. Fresh flowers in the home is something that is always classic, elegant, and beautiful. They can add so much to any room. If you have a garden, and you don’t mind cutting flowers from it, do so. Otherwise, your local grocery store carries a variety of colorful flowers for not much money. Most flower packs can last as long as two weeks if you change their water periodically and use the fertilizer packs that they come with. They truly bring life to your home and will help to improve your mood and the impression that you give to guests in your home.

3. Flowers are not the only things that should be fresh in your home! You should always use fresh ingredients when you cook! Fresh ingredients will illuminate your home when you are cooking and will definitely make your food taste great! It’s not difficult to cook with fresh ingredients or find recipes. There is no shortage of cookbooks or free recipes on the internet that can tell you how to cook with fresh ingredients. Your guests and family will definitely thank you and will be raving about how great your food tastes!

4. Keep all bed made always! The only exception to this rule of course is when you are sleeping. However, as soon as you get up for the day, you should begin by making your bed. This will not only encourage you not to get back in it, but will also make your room look and feel more warm, inviting, and beautiful. In addition, you won’t ever have to be concerned about the state of your home when company comes on short notice because your home will always appear neater and cleaner with freshly made beds!

5. Make sure that your home smells great all the time. To do this, first decide what your favorite fragrance is and what medium you want to use to promote this smell. There are lots of options including candles, oils, incense, potpourri, and more. Some of the cheapest options of course can be found at dollar stores, Wal-Mart, and Target. Keep your scents going while you are home, and while you are gone they will permeate on their own so that when you return the fragrance is still lingering! Whatever the fragrance and medium you chose, make sure that you love it and everyone else will too!
