Are you feeling stressed or anxious at home? If this is the case, then it might be time to work on creating a calming space and relaxing environment for you to unwind and appreciate your home interior as a place to escape and recharge at the end of the day.
Consider your existing furniture placement and work with what you’ve got. When trying to create a calm and relaxing home, it can be as inexpensive and complicated as you make it. Look at the furniture you already have taking up your space and think about rearranging it. What’s your focal point in that room? Perhaps it’s a large window with a seating area or an antique fireplace? Keep your furniture grouped around your focal point to create a relaxed and personal space. Keep it intimate.
If you have furniture that is made up of brightly colored fabrics and bold textures, you may wish to consider reupholstering them in more natural material and color like white or grey. You can still add bursts of energy with patterned cushions or throws, but keep textures and furniture soft and light where possible.
One of the biggest tips to improve your interior design for a more calming atmosphere is to declutter the space and work towards keeping things simple. Sometimes this is easier said than done when we have so many things to cram into our homes. Take the time to clear out any unwanted items and check out companies like RWinvest for some inspiration who have beautiful properties offering minimalist decor and light, bright spaces.
Usually, by taking the time to remove busy objects and open up your space, you are also able to open up your mind. With natural elements and light and limited distractions, you should be able to create a mindful space at home. Now you have a dedicated space to bring your awareness into the room and simply stop, breathe, and relax.
Now that you’ve removed any clutter and loud furniture, try filling spaces with plants and fresh-cut flowers to provide even more of a lift and add some interest to your rooms. Flowers and succulents give a natural softness and texture to otherwise hard surfaces, and plants can also be a great way to help purify the air.
Keep the colors simple. Choose calming colours if you decide you need to redecorate, so when you have to stare at the walls at least the colour palette will help to reduce stress levels and take any anxiety down a notch or two. Try peaceful paint colors like cool blues and greys, classic whites and pastel yellows. Also, if you’re dead set on having a bright, vibrant colour prominent on the walls, in order to spruce things up a little bit more than just the normal touch of paint, consider creating a feature wall, and leaving the others muted. This way, the colour will be standout but not overbearing or garish.
