Stress can be caused by a multitude of things from meeting deadlines to lack of comfort ability. So, to escape from everyday stress your home should be a welcoming and relaxing sanctuary. We are here to share some top things you can do around your home to be a stress free zone.
Calm Space
Create a calm space without any technology and include more natural lighting, plants or flowers and a comfy space to sit. This is your area to unwind and relax by reading a book, listening to music or simply having a power nap. Make sure to visit this are once a day for about 20 minutes to relax and reenergise.
Storage
De-clutter your space. Clutter causes a lot of stress and having too much stuff creates chaos leaving you tattered. Everything should have a spot in your home. Think about cleaver storage to maximise your storage with kitchen island columns, shelving on the side of your island, above your cabinets and corner units. If you are running out space, you simply need to establish what you need and what can get rid off to make way for more space. Once everything has its place you will begin automatically knowing where everything belongs and clean up after yourself to relieve stress.
Revamping
Whether it be your bathroom vanity or furniture in you living room that’s causing you despair after some wear and tear don’t throw it out. Revamping loved furniture is much more affordable than buying new items and added stress of looking for weeks to find new pieces. At Highlands Hand Painting we revamp and add a new coat of colour to breath life back into your furniture.
Colour
The different colours you surround yourself with can affect how you feel. Think about how a stark white room makes you feel. Cold and sterile? A variety of hues including blues, pastel purple, warm shades of white and light grey have been found to provide stress relief and are more likely to reduce stress over long periods of time. When decorating your home think about a mix of colours including wall colour, fabric choices and general décor to create an ultimate space to de-stress.
Texture
Incorporating different textures helps to both add intrigue into your décor and help you to drift off into an ultimate de-stress zone. Simply layering pillows, throws, rugs, velvets, adding drapes and soft linen bedding helps to add soft textures that are delightful to touch. These fabrics give your home a soft homey feel, which allows you to unwind easier and sleep better.
Plants
Placing plants and flowers around the home or having a small planter box for various herbs not only looks pretty but can also help you relax. It is scientifically proven that plants indoors have soothing effects that help to relax, calm and motivate.
