How to Make Your Home More Relaxing

Your home’s atmosphere can set the tone for your mood. Simple things like keeping the home tidy and neat can do a lot to reduce stress and make your home more inviting. Other things you can do include using lamps or low wattage overhead lights. Lights that are too bright can leave us feeling tense and on edge. Dimming them down creates a much cozier and relaxing space.

Don’t be afraid to splurge on some comfy pillows and blankets, either. After all, you want to be as comfortable as possible when you’re relaxing. Finally, try to limit your screen time. The harsh blue light makes it harder to relax. Try spending some time reading or just talking with your family. You’ll all feel better for it!

If your home tends to be on the chaotic side, finding a place all your own can provide a wonderful retreat. Even if it’s only for 15 minutes, taking some time away from kids, your spouse or any of the other attention-grabbers can help you recharge.

Bathrooms can be a great retreat, and they don’t have to be spa quality. Even the simplest bathroom can become an oasis of relaxation with the right preparation. Load up on your favorite candles, bath bombs, wine and a trashy romance novel and escape into your own little world.

Now that you’ve turned your home into a relaxation haven, let’s carry that outside. Visit Sewickley Spa for one or more of our numerous sessions and services so you can return home feeling refreshed and pampered!
