We often get so caught up in the idea of decorating our homes, that we either lose the inspiration or overdo it – in any case, it can be felt in the way the space looks and this goes both for your interior as much as for your outdoor area. We have to admit what we all want and need in a home is to make it feel like a home – the comfortable and happy place it’s supposed to be, a haven if you will. So, how do we do that and avoid ending up creating a mess? We have some ideas to share with you, which you’re going to find out reading further in this article.
What makes haven a haven? It’s definitely got to be the relaxing feeling it correlates with. Now how do we make our homes more relaxing? Simply: first and foremost considering the bathroom as the focal point for once. A bathroom is usually seen as the utilitarian room, but you can easily turn it into your own spa with the addition of aromatherapy products and round hot tubs. This particular tub shape makes these tubs the perfect central fit in your bathroom, but even if you don’t exactly have that space to make way for a zen area in this room, you can place them on your balcony or in the yard.
Modern round hot tubs are so advanced, you can expect to find those based on hydrotherapy thanks to the built-in jets. You can make great use of them in the outside area considering you can use them for some socialising fun time with family and friends. This would ensure you create a zen area outdoors. Yes, relaxation therapy and fun go well together! You wouldn’t have to worry about having yours outside because its ingenious design with power saver insulation system and solid “weather barrier” base can give you the peace of mind.
Now this goes for both your interior and outside space: make your home flow. What we mean by this is you can’t exaggerate and clutter your home. Serenity and clutter just don’t match. Period. If your fear is ending up with an empty-looking space, you can count on a variety of warm colours to do the trick and fill up. This can be accomplished by cushions, small decorative pieces, rugs, and of course the powerful charm of nature – the many shades of greenery. The bonus of adding plants is there are those that act as air purifiers.
Don’t forget to use lighting to your advantage. A stress-free zone can do well with bright and warm hues, nothing glaring though. When you think of it, along with the power of colours of light bulbs, lighting fixtures have a role in enhancing the décor. Last but not least, make sure you have plenty of reading nooks around to get lost in the worlds of books – reading is relaxation therapy in itself.
