Home is where the heart is, am I right? And your home should be a refuge—a calm oasis from the outside world. It’s all about your favorite spot to cozy up and watch a movie or read a book, the spot with sunlight where you can work on your laptop, and that plush bed and serene bath where you can totally unwind. Creating a relaxing space shouldn’t stress you out—cause I’ve pulled together my top picks to help you create a calm, Zen home in no time at all. Cause if you’ve come undone and are waiting to exhale, time to get your groove back. Stay centered, cause it’s chill vibes only from here on out in your abode.

Color Me Calm

Consider your colors—deep tonal hues will surround you with a soothing spa-like feel. All white everything? Nope. Think deep shades of green or blue—eucalyptus, forest, sage, wedgwood or sky. Whether it’s a lick of paint on your walls, a fluffy new duvet or trio of ceramic vases—in these deep saturated yet nuanced hues you’re sure to be at home in your haven.

Curves Ahead

A curved form—whether it be a sofa or a side table is a friendly and welcoming shape. Who doesn’t want to cocoon in your living room? Those organic shapes will nicely offset the straight lines of your home and let’s be real—softer edges and angles will feel like a big hug.

Plant Matter

Bringing the outdoors in—is in. Nature-inspired décor will bring you back to nature, whether it be stoneware, terra cotta, wood textures or floral and plant prints and references. Even mushrooms are having a moment—doesn’t that sound fun, guys? So think organic—cause the perfectly imperfect beauty of nature is going to bring beauty—and calm—to every room of your nest.
