1. DIFFUSE ESSENTIAL OILS AND INCENSE
One thing that I find completely transforms my space is scent, when the house smells good it significantly changes my mood. Having a familiar aroma throughout your house instantly makes you feel relaxed and uplifted.
2. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH INDOOR PLANTS AND FLOWERS
There is something about being surrounded by nature that just makes you feel at ease, natural plants give out so much positive energy. I can instantly feel it when I add new plants to my living space, especially green ones.
3. SOFTEN YOUR SPACE WITH NATURAL TEXTILES
Natural and muted tones are normally more delicate on the eye and provide a more calming and nurturing environment, especially on more stressful days. I am an advocate for color and bright decorations, although I do believe there is a time and a place for them. Personally, I like to keep my bedroom relaxing and calm, filled with natural colors that are not too overwhelming to the eye or too stimulating for the mind.
4. CREATE DESIGNATED AREAS FOR CLUTTER
Clutter exists in every household, even if you are the most organized person clutter will show up somewhere. And disorganized chaos is the last thing you want to see when you are coming home after a long day or trying to relax in your communal spaces.
5. AIR OUT YOUR LIVING SPACE
Now this may sound simple, and for all intents and purposes it is, however you would be surprised how many people do not do this. Once a week, I open all the windows in my house. Sometimes I open them all at the same time or go room by room and open the windows in each room to bring in a fresh influx of air that circulates the house.
