Life gets busy, and with that, your home and the upkeep thereof may take a backseat. Soon a little clutter turns into more, and before you know it, your home may be more chaotic than you’d like it to be. If you’re looking for great ways to create a more peaceful aesthetic in your home, we have the perfect tips for you.
1. Declutter your home
@susielake Decluttered part of our laundry room today. We don’t have a very big laundry room and it’s usually a catch-all space for me when I’m trying to clean up quickly and don’t know what to do with something. The brown shelves were left by the previous owner of our house so I’ve just used them but I always thought floating shelves and an open space underneath for my vacuum and laundry basket would be better for this space, so I finally did it! I absolutely love how it turned out! #decluttering #declutterwithme #cleanwithme #organizewithme #declutteredhome #laundryroom #laundryroomorganization #laundryroomdeclutter #sahm #sahmlife #momlife #momtips #momcleaning #declutteringformentalhealth #laundryroom #declutteryourlife ♬ Karma - Taylor Swift
Start small to avoid overwhelming yourself. You could begin by decluttering your countertops or the areas in your home where you work or study. You’d be surprised by how satisfying it can be to see your space transform from messy to functional.
2. Plants are a winner

Decorating your space with lush greenery will give it a lovely Zen feel. Additionally, the lovely oxygen in your space will add to the peaceful aesthetic therein. You don’t have to overdo it – adding one or two plants that are easy to maintain should be sufficient.
3. Don’t underestimate lighting

Be mindful of the light fixtures within your space. Using softer lighting will create a warmer feel within your home. Additionally, don’t be afraid of letting in natural light, which is also a wonderful way to make your home seem bigger than it actually is.
