The
lives we live are ever getting busier and more hectic, we are spending more
time out of home than in it. Our lives are now so full of frenzy that we must
take the time to slow down a little bit.
Unfortunately for a lot of us, this
isn’t something that still comes naturally and relaxation needs to be forced
upon ourselves.
A
chaotic disorganised home is not a relaxed one, but don’t fret, there are a few
straightforward basic things that we can do to create a more pleasant and
peaceful home to return to after a busy day.
·
Invest
in some flowers, they are very soothing both aromatically and visually.
·
Place
candles around to add an air of calm, but try and stay away from the scented
versions as they can sometimes be a little overwhelming.
·
Let
in the light, don’t block out a rooms natural sunlight. Natural sunlight is a
great spirit lifter, so be sure to keep curtains and drapes fully open and
blinds pulled up.
·
What
paint colours you choose to use in your home can have a distinct effect on your
mood. Go with blues, greens and greys to create a more relaxing atmosphere,
white and beige are also suitable but stick with natural tones. When it comes
to furniture and fabrics bright colours tend to energise, so stay away from
them if you want a calm and relaxing room.
·
Clear
your clutter, its distracting and will instantly create a sense of disorder.
Ornaments and trinkets should be tucked away and replaced with fresh flowers
and plants.
·
Grab
a good book and surround yourself with soft throws and cushions.
