How to Better Relax at Home

Home is more than where the heart is. It’s where we retreat to after a long day, curl up on the sofa, and let the stress of the day evaporate. Still, in today’s hectic world, leaving the chaos of a busy day at the door is no easy task. That’s because once we do come home, there are still countless things (and people!) that need our attention. So here are some great ideas for making your home the sanctuary that it can easily become.

• Your entryway is the first thing you see when you come home, so make it inviting and clutter free. Have a spot for keys and mail, and add a shoe rack, coat tree, and umbrella stand to make coming home much more clutter free.
• Bring the outdoors in with a little greenery. Succulents are a great low maintenance option that not only look good but can also help purify the air.
• Instead of traditional bookends, use geode and other crystals to usher in some earthy vibes.

• The less you have to process visually, the calmer you feel. Make your morning routine a little less stressful by using identical hangers. Take it a step further and streamline your wardrobe to a few key pieces that you can mix and match to create multiple outfits.
• When decorating and accessorizing, choose creamy earth tones and cool colors. If you have a lot of natural light in a space, consider white as a base color for paint or bedding for a minimalist, clean slate feeling. Add ambiance with strategically placed accent lighting.
• Choose decorative items and home accents with rustic wood and earth tones for a more “grounded” feeling, but remember that less is more. You don’t have to display everything you own.
• Keep the tops of your nightstands and dressers as clean and clutter free as possible. Remember, less to process visually means a calmer mind.
• Clean and organize once a week. Use binders and folders for bills and paperwork, add due dates, appointments, and other tasks to your calendar, and put things back in their right place as soon as you are done using them.
