How to Redesign Your Living Room into an Oasis of Peace

There is nothing better than coming home after a stressful day for the warm welcome of a peaceful home. For many of us though, this isn't always possible. First, there might be screaming children, but second, and probably more importantly, the house just isn't up to scratch.

Well, we can't help you with screaming children, but what we can help you with is your interior design. In this article, we are going to explore some top tips to help you Redesign the living room and create an oasis of peace.

Get rid of clutter

Clutter is like fear. It is the mind killer. If you live in clutter, you're thinking we'll feel cluttered. It's just an expression of the human condition that if you want to be calm, you need a calm environment and that means getting rid of clutter and freeing up as much space as possible.

There are plenty of things that you can do here to get rid of clutter. First of all, look around the room and work out which pieces of furniture and items of decor you really need to keep. Being ruthless and get rid of the stuff that just isn't serving its purpose anymore.

An easy way to reduce one of the largest items in your room is to swap your radiators out for underfloor heating. An underfloor heating kit is relatively cheap and easy to install, especially if you go for one of the electric kits. It's a great way to reduce the clutter without having to get rid of things that might have sentimental value. People are generally attached to their radiators!

Choose Warm Colour Schemes

One thing that we often see people get wrong is choosing a cold colour scheme. This will make the room feel more alienating, rather than welcoming.

Many people don't realise that colours come in different warmth, ranging from cold to hot. To make a warm space that feels welcoming, warm colours. For example, white can be either cold or warm and the best white colour to choose for your living room is a warm white.  All colours have warm and cold hues so make sure you pick the correct one.

Make Sure It's Adequately Heated

A room that feels cold by way of temperature will also feel cold by way of sentiment. Whether you opted to keep your radiator or invest in an underfloor heating kit, you must ensure that it provides you with enough heat to keep the room warm. This means paying attention to heat output first and then thinking about style after.

Use Nature

Maybe because we come from nature, but nature has an effect on our moods.  There is nothing better for the soul and taking a walk in nature and what you can't bring the outside inside properly, you can definitely hint at it by choosing to buy pot plants and flowers on a regular basis. It just brings that feeling of nature into the home and helps you feel at peace. Peace lilies are especially good here - it's all in the name.
