Appeal to Your Senses with a Feel Good Home

When you home is designed to appeal to your senses, chances are you will be much happier. We’ve dubbed it the Feel Good Home, and we’ve got tips for creating it. Your dream home could be right around the corner…

 

A Sight to See

It’s probably what you’ll notice most. The view around your home can make or break your good mood. The first and most important factor? Clutter. It will trigger your anxiety and ruin any chances of creating the right look. Another element of your home that plays strongly on your sense of sight is the lighting. Too much light can bring on exhaustion, while the right amount–softened gently–can boost your mood. Make sure the paint colors are ones that make you feel calm, and only keep design elements that you currently love.

The Sounds of Comfort & Enjoyment

  • A white noise machine is great for light sleepers
  • Trickling water features can increase calm

Choose the Scents You Love

When designing a feel good home, if smell is high on your list of priorities, you’re not alone. You may have to consider a new regiment of products. Cleaning solutions, fabric fresheners, laundry detergents, candles and wax melts–these elements all come into play. And, if you’d like to try to purify the air, consider adding houseplants that boast that as a super power!

Make It Feel Like Home…

These characteristics create a personal style, speaking to your own preferences. Choices like these are a key ingredient in making your house a home.
