Turning your home into a peaceful haven is easier than you think. If you’re looking to transform your living space into a tranquil sanctuary, interior design expert Henry Chebaane has some top tips to share.
Ditch Crazy Colours
By using fewer hues, the light entering your space will trigger fewer pigments, creating a less stimulating environment for your mind.
Create Empty Spaces
Separating objects and furniture to create “empty spaces” can give your mind room to focus and help clear mental clutter.
Let There Be Light
Down-lighters can create strong contrasts, which can be stressful, especially after a long day. Opt for low-temperature light bulbs to create a warm and soothing glow in your home.
Storage Savvy
Clearing clutter is essential if you want a zen-like space. Give your keys a designated spot by using a set of three mini-trays from H&M. The natural fibers will add a Scandi feel to your hallway.
Faux Foliage
Adding natural foliage can create a calm and comforting environment. If you prefer low-maintenance options, go for faux hanging plants like this one from Matalan.
Tactile Texture
Soft and fluffy textures not only invite you to wrap yourself up in comfort but also add a sensory richness to your space. Consider adding a beige throw to your sofa or chair.
Low-level Lighting
Instead of using the main light, opt for low-level lamps to create a cozy and snug atmosphere.

Warm up cold, hard flooring with a stylish textured rug. A handwoven, neutral-colored design can add coziness without being overpowering.
Serene Scents
Lighting a scented candle can bring a spa-like vibe to any room in your home. Opt for candles with soothing aromas like bergamot, rosemary, and lavender.
Add Tranquility to Your Tea Break
Incorporate colors inspired by nature and sip a cup of tea in a serene environment. This M&S mug in sandy and blue stoneware hue is the perfect addition to your peaceful tea break.
