10 Ways To Create A Simple, Beautiful, Meaningful Home — SIMPLE HOME | SIMPLE LIFE (2024)
Your home doesn't have to be perfect, just meaningful.I believe a home should be your personal sanctuary and enable meaningful living.
By this I mean simplifying life to be able to enjoy the experiences and people that make it wonderful, and become so fulfilled that you overflow and give that joy to others around you as well.
That way of living is hard to do if you come home to a house that’s full of clutter and chaos or that’s uninspired or stressful!
10 TIPS TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE A BEAUTIFULLY SIMPLE AND MEANINGFUL HOME.
Colours that are soothing will help your whole home feel calm, and therefore give YOU an immediate sense of calm when you walk into your space. Light, calm colours on the walls also act as a backdrop to display the beautiful and meaningful things you display in your home. You want your eye to go to that jar of sea glass from your vacation or the books you absolutely love - not the dramatic colour on the wall! I highly recommend painting your whole home in a light and soothing soft white or off-white shade. (I have a simple guide to help you choose the right white here)
2. Purge, purge and purge some more.
Donate anything that you do not use regularly or that is not absolutely beautiful and/or meaningful in your eyes. Then put simple systems in place to keep the things you keep organized and functional so that your life at home is never frustrating. Everything should have its place! If you have a lot of clutter, my free declutter dash can help you get started.
Open up your windows, and give them a good cleaning as well. Make sure that any drapes or curtains are hung outside of the window frames so that they can be opened up fully during the day. Open them up and receive the uplifting energy that comes from the sun. And again, consider painting your walls white so that your spaces feel lighter and the sun bounces around more. And make sure to layer in enough ambient and task lighting for dark days and evenings.
6. Carve out a special spot just for you.
Whether it's an art studio or a chair for reading, each person in your household should have a spot in the home that's their own feel-good place to unwind. It should be comfortable and restorative. That means if everyone is fighting over the one comfy chair in the family room, sell the uncomfortable couch and bring in more comfy chairs!
7. Make it welcoming.
The entryway that you use daily should be a welcoming area that is clean, clutter-free and organized. Check out how with these 5 essentials for any entryway.
8. Make it warm and cozy.
Layer textiles and textures to warm up rooms and make them feel lived in. Rugs that are soft underfoot, pillows to sink into, throws to wrap around you, bed linens that are soft and luxurious - these are details that are worth investing in for a happy and lived-in, beautiful home.
9. Group collections together.
Grouping things together makes a more memorable impact and also keeps them from cluttering many spots all over the house.
Creating a happy home is about more than just decor. It's about the energy and good vibes you feel when you walk through the door. It's where your family eats and sleeps, where you entertain your friends and the place you are your most authentic self.
