fter a long day’s work, coming home, is what most people rely on for rest and relaxation. Therefore, ensuring your home is comfortable, is key to maintaining a healthy work life balance. Here are 5 ways to increase the comfort of your home.
Windows are a great way to add natural light and provide fresh air. To reduce noise, look at glazing your windows. This involves inserting a gas between the glass plates. This will prevent a lot of outdoor noise interrupting your sleep and relaxation time.
Lighting – Natural lighting is best, however if natural light is not possible, invest in some targeted lighting. Look at adding extra light with a desk lamp or overhead lamps. This will give your space a sense of comfort and balance.
Flooring – Walking across cold hard flooring can be difficult. If you cannot invest in heated flooring, invest in a few comfortable, bright rugs. These will help to liven up a room and can even be used to lie on when reading or watching TV.
Pets – Pets are a great way to reduce stress and give you a sense of comfort after a busy day. This is especially true for people who live alone.
Plants – Plants will make a home aesthetically pleasing and help purify the air. Caring and watching a plant grow can reduce blood pressure and prevent allergies, according to some studies. Choose indoor plants that are easy to maintain and need less natural light.
