Simple interior design ideas to make yourself want to stay at home

What I have learned during this stay at home period is to make my home a warmer place that invites me to stay and feel more comfortable at home.

During these days I spend 24 hours of the day at home and normally I need to stay at least 8 hours at home. So for me, it’s very important to make my place a cosy and warmer place. Here I suggest five simple and affordable interior design ideas to make your house a more inviting place.

1. Clean up your space 

Cleaning your house and your spaces will make yourself more comfortable, it’s not that difficult and you can use a couple of hours per week to organise and clean up. Personally, I can focus better when I am working from home if I have a clean space.

2. Use white colours for small spaces

Before I was renting a small room by myself and I learned that using white colors give you the impression that your room is bigger. In case you don’t want to invest that much you can try to use white bed linen, paint the walls white, if painting it’s not for you, you can try to use wallpapers. I found wallpapers a very convenient idea if you want to do quick and simple changes in the interior design, or if you don’t mind invest some more, you can try to find some white furniture.

3. Put some plants

Plants can be nice for interior design. You can get it everywhere, they help me to reduce the stress and they are the best air purifiers. I love green leaves plants as it gives some colour to my house because it’s mainly white. Some plants that I recommend for interior design are spider plants, peperomia, or hanging plants as they require less space.

I also really like plants that I can give them use such as Aloe vera or Mint.

4. Invest in quality sofa, beds, and pillows

As I spend most of my time in the sofa or in my bed, choosing a good sofa or bed for me is essential. I need to get my full 8 hours of rest everyday to be ready the next morning. I realised that when I slept in a quality bed I can really feel a difference if I would sleep in a bad quality bed.

Another simple home interior idea is to use pillows, I love all type of pillows, plain pillows, pattern pillows, round pillows. It’s essential to make my stay at home more comfortable.

5. Try aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is one of the simple home interior ideas you can incorporate now. It gives my space special energy and it helps me to sleep better. First, you can try some essential oils and burn it with candles, the lavender essential oil helps me to sleep better and I use tea tree to clean up the surfaces as it is anti-bacterial.

In case you don’t want to use candles you can also try essential oils with air diffusers, it is much more simple, the smell is not that strong and it lasts longer.

I hope these five simple interior design idea help you during this stay at home period. In case you have any other ideas feel free to share it with me.
