Changing the mood and energy of our homes has never been more important. While taking each day as it comes to our best abilities, a few intentional design changes can help us feel happier during these uncertain times.

Think about it. We are now spending way more time inside our homes than ever before. And while that may feel overwhelming, I am challenging you to shift that thinking and find ways to love your home during your quarantine days.

I am challenging you to make your home beautiful. Wouldn’t it be great if you actually loved every inch of your house? Can you imagine how that feels? I want to help you create happy moments at home through good and curated design solutions and styling tips. So, for the next few days, I will write about some fun design solutions that can help make the entire family just a little happier.

The first space that I want you to focus on is a reading corner/music place. We all need a place to unwind and disconnect and to me, that screams reading nook/music spot. Pick a place with good natural light which helps in bringing the outdoors inside and then let go of everything. Keeping this area free of screens and other distractions is key. The idea is to make this spot extra cozy with a few good pillows, cozy throws, and the scent of a candle.

It feels like we can’t control much right now. However, we can. And designing a space that motivates and inspires you is a great way to feel accomplished and grateful at these times. Keep safe!
