Something for Yourself: Making Home Your Haven

It's been a few weeks since I have written a Something for Yourself post, so I figured it was time to do another one.  This week I'd like to talk about making your house a haven, which can mean different things to different people.  To me it means that you have created a space for yourself where you are comfortable and relaxed.  

Home should be a place you look forward to returning to, and these are some of the ways you can make your home a haven for yourself:
  • Make sitting areas more comfortable with pillows and blankets
  • Install dimmer switches for your lights or use low wattage light bulbs for more serene lighting
  • Decorate with low-maintenance plants and flowers
  • Hang beautiful artwork or motivational quotes to give depth to each room
  • Use candles to provide a relaxing warm glow to any room
  • Have diffusers or plug-ins to give each room a nice scent

And here are some other ideas from Pinterest on making home feel cozier.
The best way to feel relaxed the minute you walk through the front door is by having a a great entryway.  This type of entry provides organization as well as comfort to your home.

After a long day at work there's nothing better than curling up with a good book and a glass of wine.  This reading chair looks like a perfect place to relax after a long stressful day.

Another great way to relax is by taking a bubble bath.  This tub would be ideal for a long soak because it is so deep.  All you would need are some candles and you would be all set to go!

Of course, the best way to unwind is to have an amazing bedroom to rest and relax in.  I love that this room has soft lighting and a lot of comfy touches to make the room more cozy, like the warm colored walls and the soft throw pillows on the bed.

These are just a few ways you can make your home a haven.  If you have any other tips and tricks, please leave a comment below to share your ideas.
