Ways to Create a Relaxing Home Remove Mess Soothe your place by removing any objects that make you stress and replace with photos or memories of happy times in your life. Things like schoolbooks or bills can be nicely kept in drawers or closed cabinets. Declutter shelves and counter tops. This will help your mood when you are inside the home. Paint Walls Stick to colors like blue or green. Blue attracts inspiration and wealth. Green helps bring serenity and the sense of new life. Pastels are a better way to calm the space rather than dark colors like reds. Space Out Furniture If you are fortunate enough to have ample space in the rooms of your house, opt for 2.5 feet of walking areas around your furniture. This will help it not look crowded and more spacious. Add Plants and Flowers Plants give life to a room. They brighten up any space and will help make the room more serene. Flowers with colors and scents that are appropriate for your mood are a must. Open Windows By opening windows and/or blinds, you allow natural light to enter the room. Natural light is not as harsh as fluorescent light; therefore it will create a positive energy. If you don’t have the means of letting natural light in, add candles. Balance Sometimes square or glass objects and furniture will cause the room to appear more aggressive. By balancing these hard elements with softer ones, you create steadiness. Add a comfy couch, wood frames, or wood floors to help soften up the space. Clean White Furniture The color white is one of the least distracting colors. By adding white furniture (one or two) and soft white fabrics will help create an undemanding feeling. Keeping everything tidy is also a good way to create a tranquil environment. It will make your home smell good and soothing.
