Having a relaxing place to go to at the end of the day makes a huge impact on our daily lives. And given that most of our time is spent indoors, it is important to build that all necessary oasis to recharge your body and soul.

At Caledonia Bureau we believe it is important to pay attention to your home and make the best of your living space no matter how big or small.

In today’s noisy world, our homes are becoming a personal retreat, an ideally soothing space where we can relax and be ourselves, By taking steps to secure that safe, quiet environment you will enjoy your home that much more and that will impact your level of daily stress.

In creating that safe, soothing space not only interior design and looks play a role, but actually paying attention to your personal space, encouraging your style to come through and make your home your own personal retreat.

Natural Elements

It is said that natural materials like wood, cork, wool and using functional furniture that offers you the best use of space have an impact on recharging you and helping you get rid of stress. A bright airy space and living plants are all said to impact our mood. So pay attention to tactile, delightful materials that you will enjoy touching daily, encourage your passion for gardening even if it is indoors, paint your home in light colours and keep windows open daily. Pay attention to what works for you and do more of that.

Tidy or Not?

Some people thrive in their own organized mess, while for others a minimalistic space is the way to go. As long as you listen to your instincts, cultivate your interests and hobbies and purposefully go about creating the right environment for you, you are doing it right.

The Power of Colour

It has been long studied that colours have an impact on our overall wellbeing and mood, so choosing the right colour scheme for your home is an important element for creating a relaxing, healthy home environment. Whether you want to get on board with the latest colour trends in interior design or have your own favourites, go with the colours that make you feel good, energise you or calm you down, depending on the area of the home.

Paying attention to all these aspects when looking at decorating your home helps you create a space that will help us cope better with the outside stress and busy lives we all lead. What’s even more, we will all love our homes a little bit better when each corner has been mindfully constructed to suit our needs.
