How to bring peace and unity into your interior
- There is a lot going on in the world. After the past few years in which we have had to adapt in various areas, the peace in the world has unfortunately not yet completely returned. Yet many people do need this. So what could be better than coming home to a house where you can experience that peace and where you can retreat for a while. Below we give you a number of tips to get more peace and unity in your interior. This way you create a place where you can be completely yourself!
Use of color
The color choices you make have a big impact on how a space feels. To create more unity, you can use the 60-30-10 rule. In this case, you choose three colors. The first color is used for 60% in the space. This is your primary color. The second color is the secondary color and is used for 30% and the last color is an accent color and is used for 10% in the space.
To create a calm whole, it would be best to choose a color from a natural color palette for the primary color. Use this for the walls, ceiling and possibly the largest furniture. For the secondary color, choose a shade that matches the primary color but is just a little different, creating a nice contrast. Use this color in furniture, carpets or wall decorations, for example. With the last color, you can choose a color that really stands out since it is only used for 10%. With this color, you can really give your personal touch to the interior. Use this color in accessories such as cushions, vases, candles, etc.
Material use
Now that you know how to best apply the color distribution in an interior, it is also good to look at the use of materials. These also have a great influence on how a space feels. Go for a mix of different materials that fit within your color palette. This makes a space just a little more exciting and gives a dynamic to a space.
“The right distribution of colours and materials is essential for creating a calm interior”
Ensure good acoustics
There is nothing more annoying than being in a room where the acoustics are not good. The room sounds hollow and therefore immediately feels cold. You can easily improve the acoustics by adding materials that absorb the sound. Think of rugs, fabric furniture or moss walls. A moss wall has a sound-absorbing effect where 80% of the sound that reaches the moss wall is absorbed. This makes it a perfect wall decoration to improve the acoustics.
Create enough storage space
We all know it; children's toys lying around or loose bits of junk that are always lying everywhere and nowhere. The peace and unity in an interior is then hard to find. Make sure you have enough storage space where you can store all these things. That way, you can sit on your couch in the evening, after the children are in bed, a lot more comfortably.
In addition, create separate places for your accessories. Make a real corner of this by putting several things together, instead of everything loosely throughout the space. You will see that the room will suddenly appear a lot calmer.
Add plants
We already wrote a blog about the power of green and plants in your interior. You can read it here . Plants are good for the acoustics, humidity and also make us happy. Choose a number of larger plants to really make a statement. This creates more unity than many separate small plants. Or of course choose an ecosystem. Here too you can choose for large, such as our EcolightXXL , Hebe or Demeter . Do you choose a smaller ecosystem, such as the Egg or Erlenmeyer ? Then make it a cozy corner with your other accessories as tipped above!
