How Your Home Can Promote Personal Happiness
As the saying goes, home is where the heart is. Your home should also be a place where you find the utmost source of happiness and positive energy. If the thought of retreating to your space fills you with dread, it’s time for a change. More specifically, it’s time for hygge.
Home, heart and hygge
If you’ve never heard of it before, hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) is a lifestyle trend that is gaining popularity in the United States. It is based on the Scandinavian way of living that promotes surrounding yourself with things that bring you comfort and make you feel cozy in order to evoke more personal happiness. If you’re skeptical, the Scandinavian countries who live the hygge life are ranked as some of the most happy countries in the world year after year. Boost your own happiness by making your space more hygge friendly.
Give your space a pick me up
Change is exciting, especially when that change is happening to your decor. Making one simple adjustment can completely alter the energy and feeling of a room. If you aren’t exactly sure where to start or what to do, consult with an expert who can offer suggestions that are right for you. They can help you prioritize what will work for you and in your space.
Stimulate your senses
When feeling overwhelmed or down, one way to lift your mood is to stimulate your senses and relax. Try some dim lighting to instantly create a calm atmosphere. You can even accessorize your space with decorative diffusers to fill the air with peace inducing scents like lavender, peppermint and citrus. Add some of your favorite freshly baked treats or a plush blanket to feel your mood lighten as you breathe a sigh of relief.
Add life to your living room
Your living room is the heart and soul of your home; it’s a place for you to both unwind and entertain. Make sure that this room has items that not only bring you comfort, but also make you happy. Having comfortable seating like sofas and adorning them with fluffy pillows and blankets makes for a welcoming atmosphere. Spread pictures of your favorite memories and loved ones throughout the room to always feel surrounded by love and happiness.
Everyone wants their home to be filled with happiness. Make yours a place where anyone can walk in and feel at home simply because of your efforts to make your space a comfy, cozy hygge haven.
