Since many Americans spend the majority of their time at home due to the current situation, you may find yourself in a situation where your home also takes the role of your office, gym, classroom or any other place.    

Let’s face it; it’s easy to feel uninspired after staying in the same environment every day doing the same things.

We decided to write this article to change your perspective about this theme and find ways to enhance your home and, ultimately– boost your mood.

Without further ado, here are eight ways to enhance your home and boost your mood:

1. Designate different areas of your home for specific activities

It is very important to have designated different areas of your home for specific activities. If, for example, you’re using your bedroom also as your office, it could be harder for you to sleep at night since you’re in the room where you typically work, and your brain thinks you should be working.

By keeping certain areas of your home designated for specific activities, you’re maintaining order in your life, and it’s much easier for you to switch activities effortlessly.

2. Embrace the power of plants

We all like nature, and we want to be to be close to it. People who own houses have the advantage of going to their garden, but if you live in an apartment, you have to find a different way.

Try adding at least one plant to every room of your home. It will bring nature closer to you and make you feel more relaxed. After all, do you think a room in your home looks better with or without plants?

Plants also have the advantage of eliminating toxins from indoor spaces, thus reoxygenating your home.

3. Keep your home clean

Working in a clean environment increases productivity and focus since you don’t have any distractions around you. But it is not only about work and productivity in different areas of your home.

Feeling well and relaxed in your home is essential, and it’s only possible if your home is clean and fresh. This step is one of the most basic ones, but many people still underestimate the power of it, so we decided to include it in our article.

4. Brighten up your home with colors

Does your home feel boring when all your walls are white? Maybe it’s time for a change. Painting the walls in your home is easy and creates a significant difference. We recommend choosing neutral colors for a classic look that will hold up against almost any decor. Our favorite neutral colors are blue and green since they are most associated with health and well being. If you don’t want to paint, no worries. Wallpapers are also a fantastic option.

5. Try digital detox

Digital detox is known for helping your mental health. It is essential to stay updated about what is going on in the world and stay in touch with people, but it is unnecessary to use your devices 24 hours a day.

Make rules for yourself to use your devices; for example, only in your “work time.“ Don’t worry, you will not miss out on anything. You mustn’t forget that there has to be a time in your day where you can be just with yourself and relax and think about deeper topics without any distractions.

6. Spread positive feeling throughout your home

Add memories that bring a smile on your face in different areas of your home. It could be pictures from trips or items from exciting excursions that remind you of having fun with your friends. Seeing these items will brighten up your day doesn’t matter how good or bad day you’re having.

7. Change and rearrange your furniture

Your home maybe needs a change, and what no better way than to start with rearranging the furniture. A simple rearrangement of your working desk can make a significant change to your overall room environment. You can also consider buying new furniture if you’re not satisfied with the current one.

8. Don’t overlook the bedroom

Your bedroom is a place where you should feel relaxed and calm. It needs to be perfect to provide you the best quality sleep possible.

Make sure to personalize your bedroom as much as you can and take care of it. This means purchasing a new mattress if the old is well worn, purchasing sheets with higher thread content (the higher the thread content, the softer the sheets), put flowers on your nightstand, and more. You get the point.
