How can you bring your favorite relaxing spot home?....Decorating for stress relief. It's the perfect option when you can't get away as often as you'd like?
Finding stress relief at home is as easy as creating it. By decorating your room in a way that encourages relaxation, you can also decrease stress. Since everyone's different, there's no "one style fits all", but here are some suggestions to get you started:
o Use warm neutral colored wall
paint in the room...earth tones are my favorite.
o Keep the lights low. Use warm lighting to help with relaxation. (I find the oriental paper lamps work great)
o Use accessories like a small relaxing fountain or a soothing sound machine to help create the mood.
o Use soft pillows and sheets if for your bedroom.
o Using a soothing aromatherapy scent will also aid your senses in reaching that relaxed state.
o Try adding live plants that have a tropical look and feel to them.
