Minimalism

Minimalism is a lifestyle which is focused on living in the present moment. It is a way of becoming free to enjoy life to the fullest. To do this, you need to purge all the old, outdated, and no longer relevant things in your life from people, habits and items. In the home, this means you need to declutter everywhere. Get rid of everything that no longer serves a purpose in your life. Less really is more. Some people confuse minimalism what living a life devoid of creature comforts or modern technology; this is not true. It is about removing the items that don't have value and making more space for the things that do, and living in the present moment as opposed to the past.

Paint

A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for a room. It can brighten it up and give it a fresh new look and feel. It can cover a multitude of sins. If you choose the right colour, you can create a very specific feel for a room. Relaxation and comfort are two good feelings for a home, and colours such as light blue and green can promote the feeling. Why not investigate colour and discover how you can paint your rooms to create the right mood?

New Features

Sometimes you need to spend a little money on your home and add a few new features. Things like panelling can really transform a room, and it can be a great tool to use in multipurpose rooms. Consider things like superglide wardrobes for the bedroom. These can be bespoke, especially for your home. Consider putting up floating shelves in any room, including the kitchen. Maybe you should create a feature wall or even get some statement pieces like a sculpture. New features can give your home a little extra personality and pizazz.

Create Balance

A home needs to be balanced from the outside world. The world is full of adverts, images, memes, comments, opinions, etc., that are all designed to make you think or feel a certain way. You need a home to counteract this. One way to do this is to have a contemplation or reflection room. Take out all the electronic technology and have a chaise lounge or a yoga mat and a bookshelf. Have a few potted plants. Create somewhere that allows you to forget the world outside and reduce stress and anxiety.
