You have decorated your home perfectly from the couch down to the last accent piece. But the way you house is decorated is only part of the way it makes people "feel". The feel of your home is also known at the ambiance. And creating ambiance where you live can breathe life into you place, making it feel calming, stimulating, or sensual.
I'll show you the best tricks for creating the ambiance you want in your home. They main thing to remember when creating ambiance is to cater to each of the five senses. Sight, smell, touch, taste, and sound all influence the way you (and your guests) feel in your home and each can be tweaked with a few of my tips.
Sight! You already think about the way your place looks. Each piece of your decor was thoughtfully chosen. But think about key accent pieces that will make a difference in the way your place looks. Pieces from nature like fresh picked flowers, houseplants, or seashells are beautiful and affect your mood. Roses can be romantic. Sunflowers can seem mood-lifting, and seashells are relaxing.
Smell is an important sense when it comes to your home. It can be the first thing you notice when you walk in the door. The smell of dirty shoes certainly isn't a relaxing or charming first impression. There are simple and inexpensive ways to make your home smell amazing. Plug in air fresheners, candles, and scented oils are some of my favorites.
The feel of your place is also influenced by touch. Hopefully your guests won't be feeling your walls or rugs but they will feel the chairs and couches they sit on. While shopping for furniture, think about comfort as well as beauty. Immaculate seating is beautiful but doesn't feel homey to you or your guests.
Channel your taste buds at home by having some snacks sitting around or close at hand. Having chocolate sitting out or pre-made cookie dough that you can throw in the oven is comforting. If you don't think you can resist when guests aren't around, try something healthy like having fresh fruit ready to pull out or nuts sitting out for guests.
Create a couple playlists for your place. You have playlists to pick you up and calm you down. Make some for while you're at home. Have a playlist for cocktail hour, one for getting ready to go out, and one for winding down after a long day. They will immediately shift your mood.
You have creative control of the ambiance of your home. It can be soothing, exciting, or even romantic. Create ambiance that taps into each of your senses by using my tips for making your house feel like home.
