No matter what happens in the world, we always have our private living space, a place where we call the shots, and as the planet is overrun with a virus and we are all under lockdown, our home is a place that we spend almost all of our time. Take the workaholic who is hardly ever home, they tend not to bother too much about the décor, using the home as a place to sleep, shower and change clothes, rather than a place of respite. Yet, when you are spending the majority of your time at home, it is important to create the right ambience.
Here are a few good ideas to add a soothing touch to the ambience of your living space and create a stress-free environment in your home
Floor level lighting – Easy on the eye, with a dull glow, floor level LED lighting changes the ambience; ideal for those long winter evenings. Search online for unique home lighting and you will be pleasantly surprised at the diverse selection of LED light fittings.
Install an Aquarium – Check out the commercial water features from Fantasea Aquariums, suppliers of custom aquariums who can design and install a feature that bathes the room in calmness and serenity. It is incredibly relaxing to watch your water companions as they slowly meander their way around and anyone who thinks you can’t bond with fish has obviously never raised them.
Piped Music – You could install a few Bluetooth speakers around the house and in the evenings, play soft instrumental music in the background; guaranteed to soothe after a long day at work. Buy a waterproof shower speaker and you can sing your favourite numbers for maximum acoustic effect! If you are looking for tips on buying a good mattress, click here.
Scented Candles & Incense Sticks – Lighting a scented candle in the evening will add a soothing aroma to the room and turning all the lights off gives you a shimmering light that has a calming effect. Many people put scented candles around the house, which is also subtle illumination.
Air Quality – The quality of the air affects your mood; if too moist, you can order a couple of de-humidifiers and if the air is too dry, a humidifier is the answer. Check the quality of the interior air and there’s a lot of resources on the Internet to help you.
Order – Everything has its place, as they say, and most people cannot completely relax if the room is not in order. If you fancy a workout, deep clean the kitchen and that should motivate you to conquer the other rooms one at a time.
It is important to decorate your home in a stress-free environment style that fits you and with the above tips, you can create a soothing ambience to recharge your batteries.
