Today, people spend more time at home than before, so their desire to see their personal space as a safe haven has become stronger than before. The house, which gives the feeling of a safe haven, exudes a pleasant atmosphere in every corner. And this is useful for both the mind and the body because it allows you to relax, worry less, and therefore feel better.
1. Use the right colors
There are several studies that show how colors can affect our moods. Whether or not there really is a connection between palette and mood, it’s best to play it safe and apply the correct color psychology. It is believed that orange and red give an excellent boost of energy. Therefore, it makes sense to add them to the living room or work area in order to be less tired. These colors are very catchy, so it is not necessary to paint all the walls orange or red: it is enough to use them as an accent to cheer up the interior. Blue and green, on the other hand, help people calm down or relieve stress. Using these colors in a bedroom or bathroom will create a more soothing atmosphere. So in these spaces, it will be easier to feel more grounded and relaxed.
2. Decorate your walls with decor that brings joy
Speaking of visual stimulants, which include color, another way to fill your home with good cheer is to hang pictures that evoke a sense of joy. It can be the work of your favorite artists or photographers, as well as happy family pictures, memories of travels, or friendly meetings captured in the photo. One look at them can give a charge of excellent mood. And frames harmoniously combined with the interior will help to fit them into the space. This will preserve the aesthetics of the room, but at the same time add more personality to the house. This just creates the feeling of a real safe haven.
3. Use Aromatherapy
This way to fill the house with a good mood is different from the previous ones because it is not about physical decor. However, the pleasant scent of the space is just as important as the nice view. Since the sense of smell is very subjective, it is up to you to decide how the house should smell in order to please you. You can experiment with essential oils and an aroma lamp, try diffusers, aroma candles, incense, and interior perfumes. Many diffusers and candle holders not only help to fill the space with aroma, but also look attractive, so there is every chance to choose the one that will fit into the interior. Diffusers and candles can be placed in different rooms, giving each their own fragrance, or placed in the corners where two rooms intersect so that the scent spreads throughout the apartment.
It is important to remember that a pleasant and calm atmosphere in the house requires cleanliness and organization. If there is not enough time to completely clean up and organize storage, you can do one room a week or set aside at least 10 minutes every evening for cleaning. In the end, thanks to this, the house will become less chaotic, and it will turn into a real place to relax and be filled with a good mood.
