If you’re anything like me, my home needs to be calming. I need my living area to be my sanctuary and my peace. If not it has such an impact on my mental health. So I thought I’d share some tips on how you can create a peaceful and calm space in your home.
STAY NEUTRAL
Light colours like white, grey, light brown, stone, light green colours really help to give a room that calm vibe. Whenever I introduce bright colours or a lot of pattern into my bedroom I find it really distracts me. It’s too much stimulation for my brain, so I tend to steer clear of bright and patterned things.
GREENERY IS ESSENTIAL
Plants really calm me (real or artificial). They brighten a place up and really help to bring some life into any room. Heres a list of plants that are effective for reducing stress but you can of course use whatever plants you love!
- Peace Lily
- Aloe Vera
- Spider Plant
- English Ivy
WALL ART
I have 2 pieces of wall art in my bedroom, they are of plants (shocker). Including wall art in your space that have calming words or images of calming places really help too. My favourite place to get wall art is Desenio. They have such a wide variety of pieces you can choose from.

MOOD LIGHTING
Some people are blessed with homes that have big windows to let in lots of light and some of us don’t have much light at all. Create the calming atmosphere with dimmed lighting. Even adding a lamp into the room can make such a difference. I myself have a main light in my bedroom and a lamp. I tend to use the lamp post as I prefer the cosy feeling it gives.
SAY NO TO CLUTTER
For me when my space is messy or cluttered that usually means my mind is too. A clean space = a clean mind for me. It’s essential that things are put away and that spaces are clean and tidy. I also think its very therapeutic to throw away things you don’t need anymore. Another tip to help reduce anxiety or stress. Get rid of junk!
Great post, I’m going to use some of these ideas when I decorate. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! They are just little things but they can make such a difference ☺️
True, choosing the right colors, peaceful wall art and no clutter are essential. These ones work for me to. Thanks, great points
Yes agreed! Keeping a clean space is a must for me too!
Thanks for reading☺️
Welcome 😊
PLANTS YES!! I’m actually really loving the succulent plants these days. 😄 Spaces and surroundings totally affects my mood, I get so anxious when there aren’t enough space on my table or my surrounding is a complete mess. Like, no I won’t work until it’s all tidy 😆
I love succulents! However I always end up killing them somehow. So if you have any tips I would be very grateful haha!
Me too, I cant sleep until things are put away and at least tidier than it was! Glad im not the only one 😁
Great post. Sometimes even I don’t like it when my bedroom is messy.. I like to keep it clean and it also calms my mind. 😊🥰
Yes! I think your surrounding area is something a great reflection of our minds or how were feeling! 😊
Very true!😊
I rent a room, I would say it´s 20 by ten feet. I need to keep all the clothes (thank goodness for that too) very stacked up in certain places, just keep it tidy overall if not I can´t even walk in this room if things gets clutter. Very nice points you made.
I bet that is a challenge! And even more of a challenge to keep your space tidy so you can walk around!
Thanks for reading☺️☺️

Me too! The most annoying thing ever 😆
Spaces absolutely can sway my mood… particularly colors… which is quite common. 🌹🌹❤️❤️🙏🙏☀️☀️
For sure!! Its always colours that affect me most! ☺️
Great post, I 100% agree! I am definitely affected by my surroundings, I have to keep my home tidy and clear of clutter as it helps me to feel calm and happy, when it’s untidy it really has a negative impact on my mood, fortunately my husband is the same so we don’t have trouble maintaining it lol 😊
Well thats positive!! I can imagine it to be hard if your partner didnt mind mess but you do 😆
Lovely post and yes, I like to keep my space clutter-free, light and airy. However, it’s upside down at the moment cos I’m having all the flooring replaced, and it’s driving me insane. I don’t even have one clutter-free room or space – even my bed is covered in boxes – aarrgghhh!
Oh no! I feel for you. I hate when anything major like that is happening in my home. it really upsets the peace doesn’t it! Hopefully its over sooner than later!!
Thank you Olivia. I feel like I’m living in a squat lol. Yes, hopefully it will soon be over 🙂

I love having very neutral colours in my house too- mostly I like to stick with white. I think it just gives the house a very calming energy and I like how everything looks so bright with white walls.
Agreed! My walls are white in my bedroom. Just to keep everything fresh and clean!
I think this is much needed, thank you!
