Your home is supposed to be your getaway from exhaustion after work or school. But even when you are at home, you still do a lot of thinking, which will make you feel more stressed.
Now that the world is in a pandemic majority of the people are having a hard time. Staying indoors doing the same things almost every day can affect our mental state, so making your home more relaxing helps our mind and soul at peace and the level of meditation.
Here are the things that make the environment in your home feel Zen:
A Clean and Organized House
A clean space can help you feel more in control, increases productivity, and reflects your state of mind. You can add a high-quality massage chair to your house to feel more relaxed after organizing and cleaning your house. Plus, disorganization can bring you anxiety, stress, and moodiness. Get rid of things that don’t spark any joy and keep your home neat.
Essentially devote a few minutes to set up space in your home in which you can organize your belongings in their correct places. This primarily helps you save time and helps ensure that you maintain your mental stability throughout the process.
Lighting
Lighting affects the ambiance and mood of the space. Put curtains that embrace the natural light in your home. If you don’t have much natural light in your home, use soft and warm lights in your space, like candles or lamps; it makes a lot of difference because some light can be harsh or abrasive. An example is a Himalayan salt lamp that has a considerable impact on your energy levels and mood, and it also improves air quality.
It can be your low-light lamp or night light that helps you sleep. You want a dark and cozy mood so you can feel calm and relaxed while walking into your home.
Decorations
Use the natural elements as your décors, like plants, wooden tables, baskets, twisted branches, agate, indoor water fountains, Terrariums, and many more. You can do DIYs with them and be creative. Put plants that are natural air purifiers like moss, Boston ferns, snake plants, lady palms, or any plant you can find. It helps get rid of common toxins or indoor pollutants; it brings wonders to your mental health. They are easy to take care of, and you’ll learn how to take care of them—bringing nature into your home puts you at peace.
Display personal photos or sentimental things. Having to see memories of people you love or see something that brings you joy feels more welcoming and nurturing. Keep it simple and minimal because too much decoration may end up disrupting your peace of mind.
Texture
How things feel can affect the coziness in your home; put soft pillows, lovely rugs, or weighted blankets that feel like a warm cozy hug. Having that feeling of not stepping into a cold floor but instead, a soft, warm rug can make you feel more relaxed and comfortable. It appeals to our senses, both visual and touch.
Play with Neutral Colors
It is highly probable that if you’ve already visited a spa to unwind, you have spotted that they never use vibrant color schemes. To develop a sophisticated but soothing atmosphere at home, try incorporating multiple pleasant neutral tones.
Colors aren’t just about the aesthetics it creates vibes in your home. Use neutral colors or warm tones of your choice; it gives calming vibes; it can be light, artwork, ornaments, walls, or furniture. Calming colors can be very soothing visually. You want to play with colors to brings out the mood you want to feel.
Music
Music affects the way we feel and our emotions. Most people listen to music to change their mood or express what they are feeling at the moment. For a more Zen relaxing home, play some jazz, classical or instrumental music to set the mood of relaxation.
Scent
Give your home its signature scent. Put essential oils in your diffuser, such as lavender, peppermint, or vanilla, a scent of your choice. Incense sticks or burner, and other herbs are something you can also use to have some aroma in your home. In addition to that, scented candles are also perfect for any relaxation routine, and the gentle flame helps soothe our soul, calms us down, and helps us through our meditation.
There are multiple techniques to obtaining a zen home, but the first phase is always to keep stability. Always keep order in your room, as this is necessary for maintaining a positive mindset.
