Everybody suffers from a stressful day from time to time. Maybe work didn’t go the way you thought it was going to go today, or you missed your bus home and had to wait in the rain.

No matter how stressed you get in a day, coming home to environments that are designed to calm you down and give you some much-needed pampering will help you hit your reset buttons.

So today we are going to be covering how to build those environments as well as what they should include to give you some ideas you can begin thinking with.

Dedicate A Shelf To Cute Things

What one person finds cute versus another will vary wildly, but whatever you find cute, start incorporating that aspect into your home design.

It can be as weird and wacky as a rubber duck collection, squirrelled away on a corner shelf. Or it could be a brand of plushie toy that you just find too adorable not to have.

Keep all these cute things you enjoy looking at on display. They can really help change a mood and provide you with that ‘feel good’ feeling that is brilliant at combating stress.

Compliment Your Home With Comfy Furniture

Furniture that looks the part is great, but you shouldn’t compromise aesthetics for comfort. Having seating that is comfy is paramount to building home environments for relaxation – and by extension, stress relief.

But what about if you could tick both boxes? Have something that is super comfortable but also looks spectacular?

When it comes to comfy furniture, the brand stressless has an amazing range that is – as the name suggests – designed to keep you stress-free. You can relax in style.

Hunter Furnishing has a great selection from the stressless brand that you could consider for your home to bust that stress!

 

 

Choose Soothing Colours

And, again, what one person may find soothing versus another is a highly subjective topic. That being said, there are certain colours that do act as stimulants for the brain that you could avoid.

Think of things like midnight blues, deep purples, and bright greens. Basically, any kind of colour you would find in a nightclub – they are psychologically proven to keep your brain stimulated.

Try going for softer colours like lilacs, shades of peach, and maybe a sky blue instead. The colour of your rooms plays a bigger role than you think. Natural light or the light from your lamp fixings will reflect off your walls and amply whatever colour is there.

Try Some Wax Melts

Wax melts are a great way to fragrance a room and forge a relaxing atmosphere. There are plenty of wax melt burners and even more fragrances to try. They are like scented candles, just easier to use and clean up.

Find a fragrance that works for you; some popular scents tend to be lavender, baby powder, jasmine, and cherry among others.

That isn’t to mention that they can really lift a room’s aesthetic as a table centrepiece.
