CREATING A RELAXING SPACE IN THE ROOMS WHERE IT MATTERS

You owe it to yourself to make your home a relaxing place. Believe it or not, not all of us have the capacity to make our entire home space a relaxing atmosphere, away from the stresses of modern life. And if you have a limited budget, it’s even more difficult to attain.

But, if you have a little bit of money, and you are trying to be economical in making your home exude a more relaxing aesthetic, it’s not about changing the house from top to bottom. But rather, making a relaxing style in the rooms where it matters…

 

CREATING A RELAXING SPACE

The Living Room

The living room or lounge needs to tread that fine line between a relaxing atmosphere but also somewhere where guests can congregate that they can feel at home too. How you present your furniture is one of the most important ingredients and your style of furniture will communicate if you are a rustic person, or a bit more art nouveau.

An item like a leather couch is sleek and modern, whereas a fabric couch is going to lean towards rustic and welcoming. Especially if you add a coffee table and a sideboard, to really put across a homely, relaxing atmosphere.

In addition to this, think about what you want your living room to be. Such as an entertainment room, or a place for the family to congregate? Establishing the purpose is as important as establishing the style.

The Bathroom

The bathroom area relies on certain aspects working in tandem to create an overwhelmingly relaxing atmosphere. Think about day spas, and what tactics they embody to create this atmosphere that makes you want to sink into a bath of bubbles, and stay there for hours.

It’s not just about the styles, but the little touches can mean a lot here. For example, you can shop small bathroom vanities online to add that unique style. But you need to play with senses; smell, sound, and sight, all need to work together.

Paint the bathroom a relaxing deep colour, such as deep blue, to represent the sea, as this has been shown to increase relaxing feelings, as well as lower the heart rate.

The Bedroom

The place where you sleep needs to be the most relaxing room in the house. Apart from the usual pieces of advice to get you to sleep properly, think about removing the clutter, and avoid excessive decorations, or avoid them entirely.

You want your bedroom to be a blank canvas, and you can attain this by painting your bedroom the right relaxing colors. But also, think about your window treatments. Curtains that have a thick enough fabric to block out any natural light will help you to sleep better.

It’s not always about making the whole house exude relaxation. But rather about making these little changes to help you to calm down in whatever room you walk into.

If your budget is limited, and you find yourself on the receiving end of stress or anxiety, making the most relaxing rooms in the house enticing will do wonders for your mood.
