While vacationing on a secluded island for peace and relaxation would be a wonderful retreat, you can remove some of the hustle and bustle of your daily routine by creating peaceful escapes throughout your own home.
The bathroom, for example, is the only place where you can shut the door and have complete “you time” with little to no interruptions. “As people’s lives get busier, multitasking is the norm – and our time in the shower is no exception,” says Jack Suvak, senior director of market research and insights for Moen. A shower means a bit of precious alone time, and people take full advantage of the peace to think about the day, their lives and more. To add a bit of bliss in the bath, add a spa-like shower with multiple spray settings to meet every mood.
Your den area might be a go-to hangout place, but it’s still easy to create peace among the chaos. De-cluttering is one of the simplest things you can do to create order and a sense of calm. Remove items that haven’t been used in months and get rid of furniture that serves little to no function. The less clutter your den has, the better you’ll feel. It’s also important to open the windows whenever possible. Less mess and fresh air can easily change the outlook of a room.
Don’t let that drab patio furniture or lackluster backyard get you down. A few pieces of bright colors can really change your outlook. Start off by planting flowers to spruce up the look of your space – no matter how small. Even if you don’t have a yard to put them in, flowers can be housed in pots, on balcony railings and even hung from the ceiling. They are the perfect addition of color and soothing smells.
Another great idea is to update your seating areas on your patio. A comfortable rocker, glider or lounge chair could be the perfect addition to create an inviting area for you to escape in a book or relax and unwind socializing with friends. If you already have seating, create an attractive and comfortable update with seat cushions, which can be found for reasonable prices at local retail stores and even outlets – giving your wallet a break.
Follow these tricks, and you’ll be on your way to feeling great, inside and out.
