My Ten Tips For Creating A Peaceful Home Environment
1. Choose Calming Colours: Opt for a palette of soothing colours like soft blues, gentle greens, and warm neutrals. These shades promote relaxation and calmness. The picture shows Earthborn Colour of the Year 2024 Hopscotch Warm Colour Scheme, £57.50 from Earthborn.
2. Embrace Natural Light: Maximize using natural light in your home. It boosts your mood and creates a sense of openness and peace. Choose sheer, voile or light cotton curtains that allow natural light to filter through while providing some privacy. The picture shows Bespoke Sheer Natural Flop Over Frill Curtain from Tori Murphy.
