Elements of Relaxation
In your daily life do you feel that you're hurried and rushed and never have time to slow down and escape your daily life? Make yourself a cozy home with all the elements of relaxation. There are three main elements to creating a relaxing room and they are easy to do once you know what they are.
First of all, go for soft colors. Get rid of anything too bright or too loud. Replace those blazing red picture frames on your wall with something softer and more relaxing such as a distressed wood in off white or a soft pastel or light brown. Then turn your attention to your window treatments. Update your window treatments to reflect a feeling that is cozy by the use thick panels and sheers in light colors.
Next, turn your attention to your lighting in the room. Bright lights do not promote relaxation and are out. Make your lighting soft and subtle, yet not dark. A light with a dimmer switch is a good way to create just the mood you want in your room. Another route that give off a beautiful shimmer in your room is to have candles or decorative yet functional oil lamps in use around the room.
Last but not least, get rid of the clutter. If you haven't used an item in the past week, put it up. If make yourself a "three or less" rule on your table tops. That is, no more than three items on any table in your room. This will eliminate the clutter factor pretty quickly and leave you with a cozy room you'll enjoy spending time in unwinding and relaxing in.
