1. Follow Up on Your Home Repairs
One thing I notice as a home service professional (and home owner) is that often times home repairs are delayed. Sometimes for good reason, like price, time/capacity, or not a big enough need, they get pushed out month over month. But, if your goal is to feel peaceful at home, following up on your home repairs is a great first step, even if you need to call in the professionals.
If you’ve been having plumbing troubles and need some plumbing repairs, hire a plumber– that way you don’t run the risk of causing more damage, thus creating another repair project.
It’s likely that whatever repair needs doing is causing chaos in your home, meaning that you can’t organize things the way that you would like. Leaky faucets, for instance, can create unnecessary mess and waste water, while broken storage solutions, like shelves or closet rods, can prevent you from properly organizing your belongings. By addressing these small but impactful repairs, you set the foundation for a well-ordered and peaceful space.

2. A Tidy Space Leads To a Tidy Mind
A tidy space is good for a tidy mind, and no, that’s not just something that I made up to encourage you to tidy up a little more. There have been studies conducted on this, and it’s unsurprising that the results support the statement. If you take the time to tidy up what is around you, your mind will feel clearer and it will be easier to be at peace with your space.
The best way to do this is to ensure that everything has a place, and that everything is in its place when it isn’t being used.
3. Introduce Calming Items Into Your Home
Another tip I love to share to my clients when they are focused on creating a peaceful home environment is introducing calming items that add to the vibe of the space. Add indoor plants, candles, create a pretty wall gallery—it’s down to you. It’s about what makes you feel calm and happy while you are at home, just make sure that they match the decor and aesthetics of your home
If you ever need some inspiration, there are plenty of different options on various social media sites and other design sites. These might be exactly what you need to get your home in tip-top shape so you can be at peace there once again.
4. Set Up Tidy and Functional Spaces
Creating designated spaces in your home that are both cozy and functional can help restore a sense of peace. Whether it’s a reading nook, a meditation corner, or a comfortable seating area, having a space where you can unwind is key. Use soft textiles, comfortable furniture, and warm lighting to enhance the ambiance.
In my home, I have the most peaceful home office… and you guessed it- it’s peaceful because it’s tidy and functional for how I need to use the space on a day to day basis.
5. Use Soothing Colors and Scents
Colors and scents have a huge impact on mood and stress levels. Consider incorporating soothing colors like soft blues, greens, or neutrals to promote relaxation. Additionally, scents like lavender, chamomile, and eucalyptus can help create a calming environment through candles, diffusers, or room sprays.
6. Minimize Noise and Distractions
A peaceful home should feel like a retreat from the chaos of the outside world. Minimize noise by using rugs, curtains, or soft furnishings to absorb sound. If possible, designate quiet zones in your home where you can relax without distractions. Playing gentle background music or nature sounds can also enhance the tranquility of your space.
