4 Ways To Make Your Home A “Sweet Home”

Growing up, if you can recall the taste of the wild berries in your home or the smell of your mom’s stew, bouncing on the stove. Do you remember digging in that delicious bowl of stew, with your parents and sibling fighting over the leftovers?

Can you recall the ambiance that brought all those emotions together? What makes a home a “sweet home”? What brings back the old sweet ambiance in our modern day homes? Our white walls and our marble tables give us the illusion of modernization, however, what gives you the comfort of being in that house with your parents and the pot of stew?

1. Watch The Stars From Your Bed

In our modern society, we either pay an extravagant amount of money to enjoy just one night being blanketed by the stars, we put the charges on our credit card or we hike for miles for a camping site. However, have you considered skylights?

A skylight is where you will invest a little so you and your family can marvel at the beauty of nature from the comfort of your own home. Some prefer a traditional way of having a skylight, with wooden paneling and an exquisite Hogwarts style roof while others prefer a more modern take.

Anyways, families who have skylights are more likely to develop a healthy mindset, as well as a calmer ambiance. Recreating old family values becomes easier with the right accessories, doesn’t it?

2. Enjoy The Fall Weather From Your Own Gallery

Fall or autumn is one of the most amazing seasons of the year. Watching the golden leaves fall and carpet the ground beautifully can take one’s breath away. However, the one issue that comes with the beauty of fall is the unbearable cold and unpredictable weather.

How do you enjoy this beautiful season without falling sick? Can you enjoy it from the comfort of your own home?

Surprisingly, having a conservatory at home has become a new trend. Where some model it to be a beautiful garden, others turn into a tiny office or family room. Having tea or working in the midst of a beautiful scenery allows the mind to function better and the soul to feel lighter.

In the modern world, aren’t we all seeking for some form of peace?

3. Opt For Wood Instead Of Marble

Traveling across the world, I have personally noticed the houses that capture the beautiful ambiance of tradition and culture are usually the homes that use the elements of nature. Elements of nature such as soil bricks and wooden sticks may seem a cliche or not up to modernization, however, that’s what seems to keep the families happy and healthy.

Instead of using marbles and modeling tiles, one should opt for renewable wood. Having a wooden house doesn’t only keep your psychological health in balance but it also keeps the house well insulated without consuming electricity.

If you’re looking for a way to have an eco-friendly yet modern home, then why not opt for a more natural form of a building. Some types of wood are known to last for decades, why not make your home one of the strongest built in this decade.

4. You Can Never Go Wrong With Choosing Earthly Colors

The final element of any house is the color of the house. The color of each space and what it represents. Color can create different illusions from widening the space to making it calm and cozy. The right color is what guarantees the character and personality of the house.

The bright colors are the ones usually least selected. Earthly colors such as brown, blue, white and green bring on different meanings to the ambiance as well as the persona of the house. Combining colors the right way in the right space will create a zen space for you and your family.

A family that’s healthy emotionally will ensure its longevity and calmness despite the circumstances. Why not create this opportunity for you and your family?

In Conclusion

Your house is your sanctuary, so wouldn’t it be a good idea to incorporate the old heritage into a new style of living. Even in the world of modernization, we needn’t be constricted to the typical design of how our homes should look like.

So why not get wild and creative?
