You may not have control over external pressures in life. However, you can create a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere from within your home.
Your home is like a “battery pack”, helping you recharge after a long and exhausting day. Redfin suggests some ways for you to take care of and make your living space more peaceful and relaxing.
Clean up
The quickest way is to clean up the mess in your home. It could be a pile of clothes that have not been folded or books and documents scattered everywhere.
According to research, a cluttered space can easily put people in a state of stress. Looking at the messy things, you become even more frustrated because there are dozens of household chores to be done, and your mind and eyes cannot relax.
Do you think you can change your mood by redecorating your home or burning scented candles? Yes, you should do that. But all of these can only be done after you have tidied up your home.
Color balance
A home with bright and neutral colors will easily bring a more peaceful feeling. Instead of using vibrant and eye-catching colors, you can consider using soft paint colors for most of the space, such as walls and large furniture.
Bright colors can still be used, but in moderation. For example, on a neutral-colored sofa, you can decorate with a vibrant cushion. This detail creates a sense of uniqueness and novelty for your home.
Don’t chase decorating trends
Your home represents your lifestyle, taste, and stories of you and your family. There is no standard for a beautiful home. The space will become beautiful and peaceful if you truly love it.
When redesigning your home, you may be overwhelmed and confused by a variety of new trends from the Internet. But don’t make decisions if that style, that item is not something you truly love.
You need to choose a fixed pattern, then repair and shop according to this plan. This will help you feel comfortable and at ease in your home for a long time to come.
Green plants
Green plants are an important element in creating a peaceful feeling in living spaces. You should choose plants that are suitable for your home, taking into account their size and growth potential.
Furthermore, you can consider planting a small herb garden inside to have herbs for use all year round.
Fragrance
A subtle fragrance quickly helps you feel more comfortable and relaxed in your home. You can use scented candles or essential oil diffusers to fill your home with your favorite scents.
Miesha Johnson, founder of Gold Soul Candles, advises: “Choose a fragrance that suits the style of your home. For example, you can choose floral scented candles for a minimalistic and luxurious space. If your home has a rustic vibe, choose woody scents like sandalwood or frankincense”.
Embrace sunlight
Natural light not only brightens up the space but also improves mood effectively.
If your home has small windows, be mindful not to block the light with furniture or curtains. You can install taller and wider curtains to create a sense of more open space.
Warm lighting
On gloomy days, when natural light is lacking or when it is dark outside, you need artificial lighting to create a cozy feeling for your home. You should use warm light bulbs that mimic sunlight.
You can refer to different lighting designs that match your preferences and design style.
