Bring Positive Energy Into Your Home

The start of a new year is the ideal time to explore how to bring positive energy into your home to ensure your personal sanctuary is one of uplifting vibes and fulfillment.

Here are a few simple tricks that we gathered from experts to attract more positivity in any room of the house:

1.Let Natural Light In

One of the biggest mistakes some people make is they restrict natural light flow in their homes by putting black out curtains or not opening the curtains to let light in.

Flooding a room with natural light is an easy way to welcome a boost of positive energy because it links the indoor space to the outside and nature. Natural light works wonders for improving your mood and therefore is essential to a home that feels joyful and positive.

Open the window shutters, curtains, and blinds to expose your home to the maximum daily dose of natural light. 

2.Introduce Uplifting Color

Welcome uplighting color, whether it's a splash of the latest interior paint colors on the walls or soft furnishings a hit of feel-good color can enliven a room to make it feel more energized. 

Consider tones of green, like soothing sage green or forest green, to truly replicate the presence of nature, or choose alternative earth-inspired colors such as terracotta and sand.

If cloudy skies aren’t doing it for you, we recommend sun-kissed orange tones. They are brilliant, not only for warming up but also for brightening a space. The color of sunsets and sunrises instantly adds a joyful warmth to any space and has a positive impact on your mental well-being.

3.Welcome Houseplants

There's no such thing as ‘too many plants’. Fill your home with houseplants. Indoor plants can help to improve well-being, leaving a lasting positive effect on our minds and soul, so it’s no surprise that their popularity is growing within home decor. Real house plants also improve the air quality of your home, circulating more oxygen.

Best plants to bring positive energy to your home: 

• "Orchids are a great addition to places we go to relax in the home, such as the bedroom or living room, as their benefits help relieve stress and boost relaxation, countering depression and anxiety levels."

• “Monstera Deliciosa, also known as the Swiss cheese plant, affects the nervous system, making us breathe slowly and deeply, slowing the production of stress hormones, and helping us to relax."

• “Aloe Vera promotes a good night's sleep, so they are good to have in the bedroom. They boost oxygen levels, which can help you drift off easily and improve overall sleep quality."

4.Maintain An unrestricted flow

When it comes to welcoming positive energy into your home it's crucial to make your space feel more receptive by keeping entryways clear, to create a seamless flow from the front door into the rooms beyond.

Open the door or large window wide for at least a couple of minutes each day to boost oxygen levels and activate life force energy.

5.Keep your Home Dust-Free

Aside from feeling a sense of pride from having a beautifully clean home, upping how often you vacuum and mastering how to get rid of dust effectively can also bring positive energy into your home. Notice where cobwebs and dust bunnies grow. These are the pockets of still, stagnant energy which encourage negative sensations to seep throughout your home.

6.Adjust The Light

Lighting and color hues are at the forefront of how to bring positive energy into your home, with LED and therapy lighting being used in the home more than ever before for this very reason. 

Blue colorings are used to regulate mood and enhance relaxation, so areas of the house like the bedroom will be most appropriate for their use. If LED lighting doesn’t take your fancy, quirky droplet lighting offers a beautiful alternative." 

To simulate natural sunlight you might benefit from investing in a UV lamp, or as it's otherwise known SAD lamp. These specialist lights are designed to trigger the brain to release serotonin - the happy hormone, to make you and your home adopt a more positive outlook.
