Making a Peaceful and Inviting Home

Everyone should look forward to arriving home. Your home is a refuge, and it should be an oasis of comfort and peace in an increasingly busy and complex world. However, many people find their home is not as comfortable or peaceful as they’d like. 

Creating a peaceful home environment is about more than just changing the décor or layout. It’s also about light, texture, sound and smell. 

We’ll share eight tips that can show you how to create a peaceful home inexpensively using aromatherapy and your creativity. By focusing on the things that make you most comfortable, you’ll create a home that you can’t wait to return to at the end of the day. 

Using Aromatherapy in Your Home

The first question to answer is: what is aromatherapy? Aromatherapy has been around for centuries. Ancient cultures of India, Egypt, and China used aromatic plant extracts in oils and balms. The results were often found to have medicinal value and psychological benefits. 

Today, many spas offer aromatherapy as a relaxation treatment while clients undergo a massage or other spa treatment. Using aromatherapy in your home is an easy and inexpensive way to make your home more comfortable and relaxing. 

Aromatherapy uses essential oils. The oils are usually dispersed in the atmosphere using a diffuser, spray bottle, or mister. There are many types of essential oils on the market that have different properties and deliver different effects and moods. Some are used to relax you, some can help you sleep, and some refresh you and help wake you up. 

Combined with our eight tips, aromatherapy can transform your home into a peaceful and supportive environment. 

Eight Tips for a Peaceful Home Environment

Look through these tips and choose the ones you feel will help you make your home more inviting and comfortable. 

1. De-clutter Your Home

Keeping your home clutter-free can make it more livable and inviting. Regularly taking out the garbage and cleaning can also lighten your mood and make you feel productive. 

2. Keep Colors and Textures Neutral and Natural

Reducing the visual “noise” of your home helps to psychologically relax you. Neon colors and busy patterns can be stimulating and not what you need at the end of a long day. Simple patterns and natural colors will feel more like home. 

3. Bring a Bit of Nature Indoors

Plants have many benefits. They can reduce stress levels, purify the air, and add a natural, peaceful element to a home. Watering and caring for a plant can also provide a sense of well-being. 

4. Add Some Calming Features

Adding an indoor fountain to the corner of a room or a miniature tabletop Zen garden provides a calming effect and a great spot for meditation.  

5. Remove Electronic Distractions

If you rely on an alarm clock to wake you, that’s okay, but remove the TV and radio from your bedroom. Make your bedroom a place for sleep only!

6. Don’t be Afraid to Make Bigger Changes

If you need to make bigger changes to make your home as comfortable and livable as possible, so be it! Adding soundproofing or more comfortable furniture may be the best way to reach a state of peace. 

7. Let There Be (Natural) Light!

Draw back those curtains! The more natural light in your home, the better. Try to maximize natural light to lift your mood and provide a sense of well-being in living areas, the kitchen and even bathrooms. 

8. Use Aromatherapy to Help Make a Welcoming Atmosphere

Use essential oils in different rooms in your home depending on the oil’s properties. For example, rosemary oil promotes clear thinking and strengthens the memory, so you might use it in a study area around a desk. Lavender oil helps you to sleep, so it should be used in the bedroom. Lemon oil is bright and cheery and wakes you up. It’s the ideal aroma to have in your kitchen in the morning while you get ready for your day.
