Making Your Home More Peaceful*

Who doesn’t want a peaceful home? If you are able to create a space which is peaceful as a home, you will find that it is hugely beneficial to your daily life. Not only will you feel considerably more relaxed most of the time, you will also find that your relationships with the other people in the home are much better too, and that everyone generally gets on much better. What’s more, a peaceful home has a way of being easier to keep clean and tidy, for it is almost always a minimalist home too. But what can you do to make sure that your home is as peaceful as possible? In this article we are going to take a look at just a few of the simple ways in which you can hope for your home to be a little more peaceful. As long as you have considered these you should find it is easier than you had even hoped.

Scents

One thing which has a surprisingly powerful impact on how peaceful a home feels is the scent. If you don’t normally do anything to control the scent in your home, you will be amazed at the kind of a difference it can make if you do suddenly start to do so. So what are some of the best ways to do this, and how can you ensure that the scent is going to be a peaceful and calming one? There are a few essential ways you can do this. For a start, you might be able to use some good quality incense like Nag Champa, which can really make a huge difference to not just the smell of the home but the overall ambience too. Or you could think about burning some essential oils, which has the advantage of meaning that you can try out a range of different smells and see what effect they have.

Minimalism

The less stuff that you have in your home, the easier it is to really feel at peace within it. However, most of us find that we develop and collect far too much stuff in general, and that over time we end up with more than we can manage. This is no way to live, and certainly not a way to live peacefully. If you want to live more peacefully at home, you need to make sure that you are adopting a much more minimalist approach, which is a lot harder than you might think, and certainly harder than it sounds. Reducing your belongings down again and again takes time and patience, but it is worth it for the increased peace you will have in your home.

Colours

One of the most direct ways to bring about peace in the home is to ensure that you have soft colours throughout. If you don’t have this currently, it’s a simple case of deciding on some new colours and then getting painting. The more that you do that, the more likely it is that you will feel at home and peaceful in your home.

  1. Ahrgh, talk about a post which makes me feel guilty. My husband keeps telling me I have too much stuff which is making our house chaotic. He is right. I do. I don’t really do anything to scent my house but sometimes we burn Eucalyptus oil in our oil burner and it really does give a lovely ambience to our house.
    I agree about colours. The colours in our spare room are really calming and we love being in those rooms!
