Relaxing home décor for off-days!

Let’s face it; we all have days where our social life takes a backseat and we’re left wanting to spend quality time with no one but ourselves. Our alarms go unheard, beds unmade, and with takeout food waiting for us on our nightstand, we finally give in to that hour-long bubble bath we’ve been looking forward to for weeks in a row. These are the days when we need to be more in-tune with ourselves, while the world outside waits!

Me-days call for decor that sets the mood for a fun & relaxing day in. With the right elements in your room and house, you can really kick back and shut off instead of just toying around with the idea for longer than you should. That’s why we’ve rounded up a list of things that will act as catalysts to make sure you have nothing less than a brief getaway from the comfort of your own home! 

Alleviating Scented Candles.

Factually, soothing scents are amazing aphrodisiacs. They also calm that nagging voice in your head that constantly reminds you of strenuous deadlines, and give your to-do list a break. Bask in the luxuriousness of gentle candlelight and appeasing aromas with scented candles that are extremely effective for taking away your week-long fatigue instantly! 

Alluring Bookends.

What’s a better stimulation for your mind than reading a book that really pulls you in? Curl up on the couch and turn the pages to a book that has been sitting on the shelves for longer than you can remember, just waiting to be read! If this isn’t reason enough to let yourself reach out to your bookshelf, these bookends will surely help speed up the process. A dose of mindfulness goes a long way and when paired with bookends that act as the perfect accessories to your books, you’ve got yourself the ultimate treat.

Stylish Servings.

One thing is for sure – There’s really nothing that good food cannot fix! Comfort food choices range from soupy ramen to cheesy overdoses, sinful chocolate to gooey takeout dishes; all you need to do is take your pick! Who’s to say you can’t take your food-binge up a notch with cute bowls and artsy saucers? These decor items will change the way you perceive comfort food, and appeal to your eyes as well as your taste-buds.

Cushy Cushions.

Whether your idea of me-time is taking a long nap, or just curling up in bed with a hot cup of coffee in hand; soft & plump cushions are your best companions regardless! Mellowed down patterns and palettes can really help you relax without going the extra mile. Let your mind drift to better things and daydream away in these cushions by Pink Peacock Couture Home and Vaishnavipratima!

Immersive Art.

A great wall painting can help create a calming environment that is sure to soothe your senses and charge you up for days that lie ahead. Paintings in vibrant, but not bold colour palettes can transform all your pent-up negative thoughts into positive, refreshing energy. Give these artsy stunners by Subir Dey x Mayinart a shot and make your walls extremely stare-worthy.

We often think of art as a way of capturing a moment. But for artists who spend decades making it, the process is also about accumulation – of images, memories, places and questions that refuse to disappear. A subject encountered early in life can return years later carrying an entirely different meaning. Perhaps that is Read More
