Are you getting tired of the same routine everyday? Feeling a little stir crazy with all of this social distancing? We’ve been creating so many new spaces in our homes for different activities. We’ve created home offices to work and homeschooling areas for the kids. But what happens when you’re looking for a little break?

Check out these steps to creating a space in your home that’s truly a getaway from reality. Your home oasis awaits!

Cut the clutter

The first step to creating your home oasis is starting with a clean slate. Now more than ever it’s important to have a clean space. We’re spending all day at home and turning our spaces into home offices and/or classrooms for the kids.

Use this time to get rid of old or unused items around your house. Organize what’s left with shelves or bookcases, use versatile items like storage ottomans or basket side tables, and make sure to dust in the process!

Let the light shine in

Open your curtains! Natural light is so important when creating a relaxing spot in your home. There are so many health benefits for using natural light, like improving your sleep and making you happier. If it’s looking a little gloomy outside, add a lamp to brighten up the space.

Create the calm

Add elements like a soft blanket or pillow to make your space cozy. Add a scented candle or floral arrangements to bring nature indoors. All of these elements will help set a calming tone in your space.

Just for you

Find a space within your home to keep just for yourself. A space with no work, no kids (maybe), and no chores. We all deserve a little me time!
