When we get home after a long day of work, the last thing we want is to feel like we're surrounded by chaos. The home is a place where we unwind and spend quality time with our loved ones. So just how can you make sure that your home radiates the calm that you so want and need? By reading this article, of course!

We've gathered together a list of seven simple ways to turn your home into an oasis of calm that will surely be a cinch to execute. So grab your notebook and let's get started!

Incorporate nature

Nothing says Zen quite like Mother Nature. Natural elements are a quintessential part of any oasis. Plants instantly calm the nerves, help you breathe better, and not to mention they're aesthetically pleasing. 

Hang them from your ceiling, keep them in pots on the floor, or even create a living wall–the possibilities are endless!

Build a hobby space

Where would we be in this world if it weren't for our creativity? Hobbies and crafting are great ways to unwind after a hard day's work, so why not create a special space just for that? 

Make sure it's covered in some way, though. You're going to want your alone time here.

Or how about a reading nook?

If you love reading as much as I do, you'll definitely benefit from a reading nook. Just imagine curling up on that little sofa with a nice cup of tea and reading the newest book in your favourite series. 

This space doesn't take much to create, either. If you don't want to go through the hassle of building a new sofa, or having one there at all, throw in a bean bag chair and you're good to go! Or maybe you're interested in a few more iconic chair options… ?

Plush furnishings and soft lighting

As visual creatures, we tend to focus on the elements of a room that we can see. This seems like a no-brainer, but often we neglect the visual element in design because we are focused on other areas, such as practicality. But when creating a calming oasis in your home, you don't want to neglect this. 

Plush furnishings and soft lighting are the ultimate relaxation tools. Go for soft textiles that make you feel like you're floating on a cloud, and opt for the lighting that will enhance that mood.

Dampen external sound

Those of us who live in cities know just how much of a challenge it can be to relax in peace and quiet. Frequent loud outside noises like honking horns or yelling pedestrians irritate us to no end, especially later in the evening. That's why dampening external sound is vital for an oasis atmosphere. 

You can sound proof your home with the right professionals, or if that's too much trouble, deep furnishings such as wall tapestries, rugs, and thick pillows and blankets are sure-fire ways to drown out the outside static.

Get rid of that clutter

The mind is a terrible thing to waste – and clutter. When you live in a cluttered home, it’s hard to de-stress and decompress, especially when the first thing you see in the morning is a sea of clothes and knick-knacks on the floor. 

That's definitely starting the day off on the wrong foot. A clutter-free home is a happy home! Or in this case now, a happy oasis.

Music in every room

Now we know very well that you can't just place a piano in every room of the house, but music in every room is exactly what you need to bring a sense of calm to your home. Whether it's relaxing instrumental or your favourite low-key artist, music soothes the spirit and lifts us up in ways most things can't. 

We recommend investing in a small stereo system. Nothing too fancy–perhaps just a few bluetooth speakers. This option is especially desired in this technologically advanced era. You'll be able to control what's playing in any room with just a stroke of the finger!
