How to create a simple and relaxed home - Part Seven

Remove stress triggers from your home and disconnect from the outer world.

There is nothing more stressful than walking into your home to a bad smell. Make sure you keep your house aired as much as possible or, when the weather is too cold, use subtly fragranced candles or diffusers. Adding instant cosy light, warmth and fragrance, they can set the mood, help you to unwind and are also a great interiors trick to add a final touch to your living space.

Simple choices such as not watching the news or checking social media can drastically reduce stress levels. However, stress triggers can take the form of anything that makes you feel uneasy, such as an untidy desk, broken items or items that are disturbing to look at either because of their content or because they remind you of a subconscious memory or association.

This is especially true for the bedroom: our bedrooms should serve two purposes only - rest and romance. That means removing things such as televisions, computers, phones and workout equipment from the bedroom.
