Bring The Holiday Home: How to Create a Relaxing Atmosphere

Going on holiday is undoubtedly the highlight of the year for many people, so it’s little wonder that heading home can bring in serious and drawn-out holiday blues. Everything just seems a little less fun and colourful after the joy of being abroad. The good news - this doesn’t have to be the case. Through the strategic use of home decor imbued with calming influences, you can seamlessly transplant the serenity and bliss of your holiday into your everyday environment. Employing thoughtful home decor choices not only uplifts your spirit but also serves as your personal sanctuary of peace. Tailoring your space with relaxed design essentials transforms your home into an experience akin to your favourite travel destination, all from the comfort of your lounge.

Accessorising the house

The easiest way to define your living space and turn it into a relaxing environment is by using accessories. Investing in stylish good mood decor can transform any space into your own personal retreat. Using accessories to customise your living spaces can bring an immense amount of customisation to your home and can help you bring out the relaxing vibes of a real holiday. Colour plays a big role and using a wide range of soft colours can help soothe your senses. Soft blues and greens are particularly effective. Furthermore, bringing varied colours and designs into your house can tickle your sense of adventure without you even having to leave the comfort of your home.

Making the most of plants

Plants do a great job in invoking a sense of calm in any living space. They often bring a much-needed dash of colour to a room and can create the vibe that a particular space was meant for living things. Pick plants that can thrive indoors and which are easy to care for - you don’t want to stress yourself out when you should be relaxing.

It is also important to choose the right vase for your indoor greenery. Vases usually come in a variety of colours, often taking unique geometric or surrealist shapes, which helps to break the monotony of a room and adds some creative and artistic flair. Using a combination of charming vases and internationally-sourced plants and flowers, you can recreate any destination you want in the comfort of your own home.

Inspiring furniture

Sourcing furniture inspired by various global cultures can infuse your living space with a cosmopolitan aura and an unparalleled sense of tranquillity. Choosing pieces that feature muted hues and streamlined designs can harmonise your interior, imbuing it with a cohesive and serene atmosphere.

Combined with the trinkets picked up on holiday, these simple changes can have a big influence on the feel of the room. Dispel those holiday blues with some simple, but powerful, design choices.
