Winding down after a stressful day at work is one of the most difficult things to do. If you're like me, you dream of being in your bed all day but when you get home from work, you find it nearly impossible to wind down, turn your brain off, and get to sleep. Here you will find some easy and inexpensive tips to help transform your home into a relaxing, peaceful oasis.
1. Light some candles - Dim lighting helps relieve stress partly because it casts a much softer glow in comparison to your fluorescent office lighting. Try turning off the overhead lights in your living room or bedroom and lighting some candles that have a light scent, like lavender or vanilla. A unique way to display your candles so they tie into your home decor is to invest in a few lanterns or small candelabras, and arrange them in a cluster on top of a piece of furniture.
2. Create a spa-like atmosphere in your bathroom - The key to creating a relaxing bathroom is to bring in colors and patterns that are easy on the eyes, such as the calming green below. Adding organic touches such as small plants and luxuries like fluffy towels that match your wall color ties into the decor while creating a soothing atmosphere.
3. French country/Antiques - A great way to bring a romantic feel to your kitchen would be to invest in a hutch, paint in a soft, calm color, and a few antique or antique-inspired pieces of interest. Scour your local thrift shop or neighborhood garage sale for some antique glassware, china, or decor in coordinating colors. Paint and distress and old hutch, and arrange your antiques on it to bring a touch of character and romance into your home.
4. Floor-to-ceiling curtains - Tall curtains draw the eye upward, which lengthens the room and makes it feel more open. In turn, floor-to-ceiling curtains look elegant and luxurious, and you don't have to have tall windows to pull off this look. All you need to do is simply attach the mountings and curtains to a point just below the ceiling.
5. Pillows and throws - If you add soft, pretty pillows and velvety throws to your favorite chair or couch, you will be naturally more inclined to sit down and relax when you get home. Invest in a few of these and drape them over your living room or bedroom furniture - don't worry about folding them perfectly; the perfectly-imperfect vibe of these throws adds even more to the relaxing atmosphere.
