Your home is a retreat from the daily grind and the obligations that can make your life hectic. If you want to create a more relaxing atmosphere in your domicile some designers say you should implement these changes.
Decluttering Your Nightstand
If your nightstands are covered with family photos think about creating a gallery wall and relocating most of them there. This will make room for items that can help create a relaxing environment, like candles for a little aroma therapy, or a table lamp for reading before bed.
Minimizing Throw Pillows
Too many throw pillows on your sofa can throw off your sense of calm and make it look and feel crowded. Keeping an abundance of pillows in some semblance of order can also create more work for you. So if you’ve got a sectional place no more than three pillows in each corner. For sofas situate two pillows on one end, and one pillow on the opposite side, for easygoing style.
Creating a System for Incoming Mail
Piles of unopened mail can induce anxiety because you know there may be issues waiting for your attention, and more than likely those issues are time-sensitive. So come up with a system where your incoming mail is sorted and handled on a daily basis.
Modifying Open Shelving
Open shelves are a good design feature that can help a small space feel open and airy. But if you don’t consistently keep things neat and organized they can become an eyesore and a source of anxiety. Consider storing certain items in visually appealing baskets or bins within the shelves so you can toss them inside without concern about how they appear. Label each basket, and use consistent labeling that is visually pleasant.
