Our day by day lives tend to be really busy and anxious, surrounded by stress. When we get home we want to enter a cozy atmosphere where we can escape stress and feel good. There are ways to create a serene space within our home and we will give you some tips to help you escape anxiety.
Lightning is key for serene space
Choose a calming color for your walls for a serene space
“Color may be one of the easiest tools for manipulating mood within a space,” says Mann. Also, color is the feature that ties together a space. Choose colors such as: light blue, white, light gray, etc. Mann continues: “Manipulating mood is important, but the more layered with meaning a space is, the more interesting it will be.” Keep things interesting, but serene.
Functional spaces create a serene atmosphere
A space that functions well for its homeowner and makes him feel cozy and safe is perfect for everyone’s taste. As designer Regan Baker puts it, “Ideally you want to feel as though your home is working with you and supporting you as you move through life, and not fighting you at every turn.” Every space in the house should have a meaning. Keep this in mind for the next time you redecorate.
Keep things organized
After you got rid of the clutter, you can handle the organization stage. When everything is in its place, you will feel less anxious and you will enjoy time in your house. “When clutter is tempered, styled, organized, or decorated there becomes a flow,” says says Melanie Charlton Fowler, owner of Clos-ette.
Stop looking for perfection
When the space looks too designed, it looses that cozy feeling. In order to find a balance between overdone and underdone, try the Japanese philosophy “Wabi-Sabi”. Wabi-sabi is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”. So, it’s time to look for style, but an imperfect, cozier one.
Imagine your home is a film scene
Nowadays, inspiration is only one click away, on Instagram, Pinterest, design apps, etc, but you should look at your home as a film scene, rather than a picture. Films are designed to inspire emotion. The color, sound, and frame associated with each image brings a certain emotion, allowing us to live and relive different situations.
May your home always be filled with calm and serenity!
