Turn Your Home Into a Haven
After a long day at work or as you head into a low-key weekend, one of the best things to have is a quiet spot to relax. But if your home isn’t exactly a haven, you could be missing out. But don’t worry—it’s not too hard to make your daily space into the calming refuge you crave. At Blind Builders serving Feasterville, we can offer a few thoughts about how to use fairly simple decorations or make easy changes to create that haven so you can unwind the way you hope. Read on!

As you might guess, bright colors ramp up a room’s vibe, which is great for a club, but it might not be what you’re looking for in your relaxation zone. If you’re looking to unwind, try a neutral palette with milder colors. But neutral colors don’t have to mean a boring room! You can add pops of color in specific areas to brighten the tone, and you can add texture in things like area rugs, comfy blankets, throw pillows, and artwork to create additional visual interest.
Declutter
It might not register with you on a conscious level, but any form of clutter could be raising your anxiety, keeping you from relaxing. So clear the clutter! Store things like mail or paperwork in baskets, decorative boxes, or soft space cube, and pare down your décor to only the items you really love—a busy room can lead to anxiety and stress. In fact, many people like to ensure they keep highlights of happy memories in their havens, so consider photos of friends and loved ones that are filled with great memories.
Make Space for Your Favorite Relaxing
Many people like to spend their downtime doing things like reading, listening to music, or doing jigsaw or crossword puzzles. If that’s also your jam, designate one area for that activity. That’s not to say that other areas of the house aren’t relaxing for you—it’s just ensuring that you have dedicated space for your favorite relaxation pastime. With that space, you might find that you’ve trained your brain to start to immediately relax as soon as you sit there.
Bring on Natural Light
If you’ve ever watched a dog or cat follow a patch of sunlight throughout a day, you know they love to take pleasure in that natural light. Humans can work the same way—even if it’s not direct sunlight shining through your window, the way that light works can feel magical. Window fashions can be a huge boost in getting natural light to your haven. For beautifully diffused light, Hunter Douglas offers Silhouette® Window Shadings, Pirouette® Window Shadings, or Designer Banded Shades. If you want fantastic light control, consider the tilting power of Heritance® Hardwood Shutters. And for full sunlight with privacy, think about the top-down/bottom-up operation that’s available on many Hunter Douglas treatments. Especially in the winter, light can be the most important relaxation tool, so speak with one of our specialists about what might be best in your particular space.
