Have you ever walked into someone’s home and instantly felt that it was positive, welcoming and peaceful? This may
come from their interior design choices. A harmonious design including the right colors, lighting and accents can
help create a positive and soothing environment. Here’s how:

Color

To create a relaxing and serene impression, consider using pale blues, which many people find calming. For a warmer
palette, shades of peach and brown beige add both comfort and energy to a space. For an interesting twist, consider
creating a gradated impression with mountains or swaths of gently shifting hues, either with paint or using
wallpaper.

Layout

Gather the bare essentials first to avoid chaotic clutter. There’s no need to “fill” a space with furniture –
instead, only include what feels comfortable.

Lighting

There is little more important to the peace and serenity of a room than natural light! Opt for simple window
treatments, and utilize candles or string lights for a soft ambiance.

Living Things

Including a live houseplant in your space will help purify the air and create peace of mind. Try a large palm to
create a tropical vibe.

Using these tips and tricks, you can create a warm, welcoming space of comfort and serenity at home.
