8 Ways To Make Your Home Feel Like A Sanctuary: Tips From An Interior Designer

As you move from city to city or even country to country for love, work, or to follow your soul's mission, it can be tricky to create a personalized home you feel great in. 

 As an intuitive, holistic interior stylist, it's my job to take a space, its location, and its inhabitants and their needs into consideration on all my design projects. Instead of using a specific trend or rule book, I let my gut feelings (and inherent Libra desire for harmony) shape the results.

Here are some of my favorite interior design tips that are easy to follow and don't require much of a budget. May they help you create the relaxing, soothing living space you desire, wherever you may be in the world

1. Create still-life groupings.

Cluster your favorite objects into small groups and place them where you can enjoy them the most — on a sideboard, windowsill, or bedside table, for example. Your display can feature anything from jewelry to a vase or glass bottle with a single flower to a stack of beautiful boxes topped with a smooth stone. Don't be afraid to mix and match here!

2. Use soft light sources.

Avoid cold light as it is less relaxing and can remind you of the light in a hospital, lab, or work environment. String lights and candles are both great options, and small glass bottles and jars with the labels removed make perfect candle holders.
