“Be content with what you have, rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” – Lao Tzu
In the heart of our homes lies the potential for a sanctuary that not only shelters us but also revitalizes our spirits. Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily routines, our living spaces sometimes feel devoid of the vitality and energy we crave. Fear not, for within these walls awaits a treasure trove of possibilities, offering ways to infuse our dwellings with light and vibrancy. Here are 6 simple ways to breathe new life into your home and uplift your spirits:
6 Simple Ways to Brighten and Refresh Your Home
- Declutter
Get rid of almost everything that is of no use or carries little utility. You can decide by letting go of everything that hasn’t been used in the past 3-5 years, as those items have little chance of being used. Decluttering your house can reduce stress, help you be more efficient, and free up space for those positive vibes to enter your home! - Update your home with fresh color
Whether it is the walls, the furniture, or the fixed cabinets, is the overall color scheme of your home pleasant and aesthetically pleasing? Listen to your intuition and select colors that infuse positivity, enthusiasm, and energy and make you happy and relaxed. - Show off new art and memories that bring joy
Wall art can significantly increase positive energy at home. Make a collage of big and small photo frames depicting the best moments spent with family and friends. Add some art, but avoid negative or confusing photos or paintings, such as a ship stuck in a storm, war, or sadness. Go for natural landscapes, mountains, flowing rivers, running horses, flora and fauna, fish, lotus, peacocks, or anything that inspires you! - Hang mirrors consciously
Mirrors are not only a part of every home, they are also a source of positive energy in home décor. A larger-than-life mirror in a living room can be sufficient decoration for the entire space. However, it is important to position mirrors correctly. Many believe it is best to place mirrors on the north or east wall of the living room. - Let the sunshine in!
Gift yourself and your home with natural sunlight and fresh air. It will cost you nothing, but it will add positive energy and good vibes to your home! Natural light can do what not even the most expensive of luxury lights can achieve. Open the curtains and blinds during the day and see how a well-lit house makes you happy and content! - Go Green
Plants are natural healers, and they add fresh air and tranquility to your home. Both outdoor and indoor plants not only purify air but also de-clutter our minds! Go for jade, spider plants, snake plants, aloe vera, tulsi, and ferns, all of which are known for positive-energy home décor!
