Creating a Relaxation Haven at Home

Between the hustle and bustle of work, the Great British weather (which, let’s be honest, is a tad unpredictable), and the humdrum of daily life, don’t you ever just yearn for a snug little nook where you can hide away? Somewhere to sip your Earl Grey, read your favourite paperback, or perhaps, occasionally do absolutely zilch? Fear not! I’ve got you covered. Here’s how you can create your very own relaxation haven, right at home!

1. Garden Rooms: Your Tranquil Oasis

Alright, kicking things off with the pièce de résistance: garden rooms. Think beyond your typical garden shed here, mate. These bad boys, which you can find at Modern Garden Rooms, are the business when it comes to creating a serene space separate from the main house. It could be your personal yoga studio, a mini library, or even a meditation retreat. The point is, it’s away from the main hullabaloo of the home, offering a picturesque view of your garden. Pass the cucumber sandwiches, please!

2. Indoor Plants are Your Peace Partner

Not only do they purify the air, but plants have this uncanny ability to add a touch of tranquillity to any space. Whether it’s a towering monstera or a petite succulent, just having a bit of greenery around can make a space feel calming. If you’re like me and sometimes forget to water them (oops), go for low-maintenance options like snake plants or cacti.

3. Essential Oils and Diffusers

A whiff of lavender, a touch of eucalyptus – essential oils can work wonders for the senses. So, get yourself a stylish diffuser and let the scents waft through your home. It’s instant zen in a bottle.

4. Cosy Corners and Nook Makeovers

Every home has that one underused corner. With some comfy cushions, fairy lights, and a few soft throws, you can transform it into your go-to relaxation spot. Perfect for an afternoon nap, or, you know, another tea break. Just make sure you choose a corner in the quietest room possible for the least distractions!

5. Sound of Serenity

From the gentle patter of rain to the soothing sound of ocean waves, ambient sounds can create a calming atmosphere. Use apps or gadgets that play such sounds, and you’re mentally miles away, on a deserted beach perhaps?

6. Lighting Magic

Soft, dimmable lights or even candles (scented ones, you beauty!) can make a huge difference in setting the mood. Remember, harsh lighting? A big no-no when you’re aiming for relaxation supreme.

Natural lighting is also key to a good indoor experience. You can create your environment with bifold doors, such as schuco bifold doors, and create an atmosphere more connected to the sun

7. Texture Play

Soft rugs, plush cushions, and silky throws – mixing and matching different textures is not only pleasing to the eye but also a treat for your touchy-feely senses. You’ll feel as snug as a bug in a rug!

8. Water Features

There’s something about the sound of trickling water that puts the mind at ease. It could be a small indoor fountain or even a fish tank. As the kids say, it’s very ‘aesthetic’.

Relaxation is just a few decor hacks away!
