How to Create a Cozy and Welcoming Home That Supports Your Mental Health

Our home should be our sanctuary – a place where we feel safe and at ease. It should feel welcoming and cozy, not stressful or sterile. Here are some easy ways to make your home a place that supports your mental health.

Plants

Whether you have a green thumb or not, plants are an effective way to create a cozy, feel-good environment for your home. If you are an excellent plant parent, we recommend filling your home with as many beautiful plants as you can care for. For those who struggle to keep plants and flowers alive, check out some faux plant options.

Fairy Lights

Lights that set a cozy mood change the atmosphere of any room. Fairy lights are our favorite way of achieving this (LED lights work, too). Adding string or curtain lights will soften a room and make it feel welcoming and peaceful.

Aromatherapy Diffuser

Think about spa scents and the calming aromas of eucalyptus and lavender. An aromatherapy diffuser can give you this same comforting feeling in your home. Pick your favorite scent and allow the room to fill with that fragrance, calming your senses.
