A home is a place where you should feel comfortable, and it’s something that is often overlooked when people are designing their spaces. If you’re looking to design your home in a way that promotes relaxation and calm, then continue reading below. Our interior designers, based in London, know a thing or two about wanting some serenity when coming back home.

By following the below simple tips, you can quickly transform your home into a tranquil oasis. Choosing the right colours, materials, and layout can promote relaxation and calm throughout your entire space. So start today and see the difference a few simple changes can make.

Colours – use light and airy colours when painting or doing any type of decorating. Pale blues, greens, and even some lighter shades of purple can help promote a sense of relaxation. Choosing the right colours and materials is essential to creating a relaxing atmosphere in your home. Stick to muted tones and natural fibres when selecting furniture and decor. Wood, stone, and bamboo are excellent choices for flooring, countertops, and other surfaces. Not only do they look great, but they also have a calming effect on the mind. This property in Fulham, London, from our portfolio is the perfect example of lighter wood colouring can create a calming effect.

Layout – the layout of your home can also impact how relaxed you feel while inside. Cluttered rooms with no clear purpose can be stressful and overwhelming. On the other hand, well-designed spaces that flow smoothly from one room to the next promote feelings of peace and serenity. When planning the layout of your home, be sure to create ample storage space for all of your belongings. This will help keep your rooms feeling open and uncluttered.

Personal touches – add personal touches that make your space feel like your own. Incorporate items that have special meaning to you, such as family photos or heirlooms. Similarly, choose art and furnishings that reflect your personal taste. You can also do this by adding some plants to your home. Not only do they look nice, but they also help purify the air. Another way to create a personal utopia is to incorporate relaxing scents into your home, aromatherapy can be a great way to help promote relaxation. By adding these personal touches, you can create a home that is both stylish and relaxing.

Comfort – make sure your furniture is comfortable. You want your home to be a place where you can relax, so it’s important that your furniture is comfortable enough to allow for that. This goes further than just the bedroom, your living area, and bathroom should all be areas where you feel completely at ease in.

Lighting – make sure your home is well-lit. Good lighting can help create a more relaxed atmosphere. For example, warmer lighting such as yellow tones can help us to feel more relaxed than harsh white lighting. Not only is it less intense for your eyes, but it also doesn’t disrupt your sleep as much and creates an overall cosy feel to your home.

By following these tips, you can start to create a more relaxing and calming home environment. Interior designers can also be a great resource if you’re looking for additional ideas.
