Now that we’re all used to spending an increased amount of time at home, creating a space that conforms and adds to your lifestyle is top of mind. Craving a bit more serenity in your day-to-day? Us too. Here are our top tips to add a touch of tranquility to your home with a few simple updates.

• LET THERE BE LIGHT
  Never underestimate the power of lighting. Overhead lighting is great but can be a bit harsh depending on the activity. Add options and ambience to your space with table lamps and wall sconces- you can even add color changing smart bulbs for a whole new vibe that can change with your mood!
• COLOR IS KING
  Whether it’s soothing spa shades or upbeat bright colors, play with color in a way that speaks to your spirit. Liven a darker room with a fun pop of orange decor, or give your bathroom that soothing essence you’ve always desired with a few coats of soft grey paint.
• MAKE IT FLOW
  The way your home is laid out makes all the difference both in daily life and when it comes to entertaining. Consider rethinking your furniture layout or adding functionality with extra accent stools- making your space work for you is the best way to ensure happiness day to day.
• OPTIMIZE ORGANIZATION
  Finding the right ‘home’ for everything you own can seem like an uphill battle. Focus on prioritizing convenience, whether that’s an aptly placed hook by the door for your keys or a gift wrapping station in your home office. Optimize your home to fit your needs, and every day stressors will become less prominent.
• LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE
  Speaking of belongings, whether framed photos of loved ones or beloved trinkets from your favorite vacation spot, display the things you love around your home. Not only will this add a personal touch, it is a foolproof way to decorate any space. Surrounding yourself with things that make you smile and emulate happy memories is the quickest way to increase your mood in your home.
