Everything in your life creates a presence that either heightens or weakens your experience. If you're a 90s baby like me, your dream car was anything like a Hummer H2 or Escalade. The dream may have been put on hold after seeing the price and searching for Hummer H2 insurance.
Fortunately, you don't have to be already driving your dream car to swag it out and live your best life on the road.
Since the invention of the modern car in 1886, how you get around has always been a place to show off your style. From dice on the rearview mirror to the cute fluffy steering wheel covers trending on Instagram, your car should be what helps fuel you move forward.
Fluffy and trending items are cool to have, but if you're not one to buy things only for accessory, consider what items could be used to improve your driving. Common distracted driving causes can come from spacing out, drowsiness, and needing to use your phone.
To help keep your eyes on the road and to spruce up your car:
Most of us rely on our vehicles to get us to and from work and all the other significant events in our schedule books, but sitting in traffic is horrible for our health. Those extra few minutes stuck in traffic add up, and on average, Americans spend nearly 300 hours a year driving.
For an interior that can benefit your health, look into incorporating a few of these items:
We all deserve a little fun, and not everything needs to have a designated function. Sometimes the purpose is just for joy. Consider some of these car accessories to lift your spirits.
Looking at what's available in stores can be a great source of inspiration. Still, if finding precisely what you want isn't being found in stores or in your price range, there's a great opportunity for some DIY decorating therapy.
DIY projects can be intimidating, but hopefully, these ideas help spark some inspiration.
These two typically don't go hand-in-hand, but in this case, they're a perfect pair. Take some of the standard models for mats and other similar accessories and make your own covers to go over them. You can buy spill-resistant and machine washable fabrics at most local craft stores.
Cut, copy, paste, but in real life. You can buy an interior design car kit or just use a common tool like paper or poster board. Trace out the spaces of your desired area and use them to place fabric or cabinet liners for a new decorative pop.
Like any feature in a home, your vehicle's interior needs to be kept up and polished. Invest in scent refreshing products that both clean and polish. Never underestimate the power of a clean and odor-free interior because, just like your home, cleanliness and smell can have a powerful impact on your mood.
Any place in your life that feels disorganized only gets heightened in cluttered spaces. If you normally have a hard time keeping your car clean, here are some different kinds of car organizers that can help:
Keeping your car clean and organized not only helps your vehicle retain its value but adds to the feng shui of your home and your home on the road.
It's amazing what you can do with a few simple tools. LED lights or battery-powered ones can make the inside of your car look like the galaxy. You can use anything from leather to cardboard. Using pillow fluff for a cloud effect or your favorite fabric, you can tape or glue lights and hold them in place using supplies such as string or two-sided tape.
Cloud walls may be trending for home decor, but this method is simple enough to be a weekend art project that could have you riding in style for years to come.
If you like something, go for it. Experiment with what car elements are useful to you when driving and what simply makes you excited to get in your car.
What we drive becomes a big part of our lives. Even if you're not yet behind the wheels of your dream car, you can be riding in a dream. Allow yourself to enjoy whatever space your life is currently in and get to where you need to go, happier and safer.
