I recently took a vacation to a cute little town in Vermont.\u00a0 During my stay at a B&B, my husband noted the mugs and dishes used from the pottery place up the road.\u00a0 We decided to stop in to check it out.<\/p>\n
Walking in, it felt like what a massage would look like.\u00a0 All white walls, light pine floors and all the goods – pottery, wood, linens – were all white or unstained wood.\u00a0 It was so visually pleasing and serene that I instantly wanted everything.\u00a0 As my husband stated, this store makes me want to get rid of everything we own and buy it all.\u00a0 Not only because the pieces were beautiful, but because they were simple.<\/p>\n
I think we crave simplicity because it feels so good.\u00a0 When I start in any room with any client, we do the visual clutter first.\u00a0 To clear surfaces simplifies the space.<\/p>\n
To take it to the next level, the colors and objects in the room should be considered for the simplicity of color.\u00a0 A lot of people love big, bold colors.\u00a0 So if that is you, great!\u00a0 Surround yourself with all that you want.\u00a0 But to others, color can be distracting.\u00a0 Consider when you buy decor or bins to put your stuff in, neutrals of white, tan and wood tones.\u00a0 By simplifying the space in stuff and in color, you will feel more peaceful.\u00a0 You will also have more clarity to be productive.\u00a0 Add some light music and scents from a candle and you will truly be at peace in your home.<\/p>\n
I ended up only purchasing a vase because I actually have fresh flowers all the time so it will be something I can use and enjoy daily.\u00a0 But, it does make me think of what I can do in my own home to make thinks feel and look simpler.\u00a0 It may not happen right away, but it is a goal I can aim for.<\/p>\n
So, seek simplicity in your color scheme and discover how that can make you feel more at peace in your space.<\/p>\n
