Sometimes at the end of a busy day we need a place to sit, relax and recharge our batteries. A place away from any obligation and anything that causes us stress. This place can be a room or even a corner of a room, where we can just sit, take a nap or do a relaxing activity. Let’s see how you can turn any space in your home into an oasis of relaxation.
Gather your favourite things
The surest way to relax and forget about your problems is to surround yourself with all your favourite things, everything that reflects your personality and make you feel “at home”. These are different for everyone. For some it may be books. For someone else it may be their favourite music or their favourite drink. Only you know what those special things are for you.
Make the place as comfortable as possible
Your relaxation oasis should not lack a comfortable armchair or a comfortable sofa. Lay soft pillows or a soft blanket, with which you can cover yourself or just throw it on your shoulders for a cozy feeling.
Bring nature inside
Indoor plants can reduce stress and provide a sense of well-being. The more plants there are, the better! Choose the right plants depending on how much light there is in your space.
Remove the clutter
A cluttered space is sure to disturb your relaxation. Get rid of any unnecessary items and make sure you keep it organized. Before adding any new item, think about whether it will add any real value.
Focus on soft colors
According to research, bright colors increase the levels of arousal. For your relaxation space, choose soft and neutral colors with low contrast, which have a calming effect. Some colors to bring peace to your space can be light green, light pink and shades of brown or gray.
Relax with your favorite scent
Relaxation is an experience that involves all the senses. Aromatherapy is a surefire way to turn any space into an oasis of relaxation. Choose essential oils that are proven to promote relaxation, such as lavender, lemongrass, orange and eucalyptus.
