Create a Small, Peaceful Space
Tips for establishing a quiet and peaceful escape within your home.
Throughout the quarantine, we’ve stayed home to help flatten the curve and reduce the spread of COVID-19. After more than a month, though, we’re ready for an escape—even if it’s just to another room. Here, we’re offering tips for creating a safe and comfortable sanctuary so that you can take a break when you need to without going anywhere.
Go to the Light
Find a space that offers some mood-enhancing natural light, even if it’s just a small window.
Take a Seat
Plush chairs, beanbags, or even oversized throw pillows create a snuggly seat for you to settle in on.
Pillows starting at $2.99
Go to the Table
A small side table or stool next to your seat can hold a cup of soothing tea or the book you’re working to finish. Need guidance to pick the right light? We’ve got some here.
Lamps starting at $4.99
Make It Pretty
Take care to create a space that speaks to you: Try small tablecloths of pashminas over the table, rugs, plants or flowers.
Flower pots starting at $3.99
Cuddle Up
Leave a cozy, fluffy blanket in your sanctuary so that you never have to go in search of one when you’re chilly.
Blankets starting at $1.99
Set the Mood
Scented candles and music can help you relax, so keep a speaker and a candle with your favorite sent stationed on your table. (Make sure to not leave candles burning unattended, and away from any curtains or hanging fabric). Need help picking a scent? Here’s our guide.
Candles $3.99 and under.
Slippers
Stow your creature comforts like cozy slippers or your favorite sweatshirt near your hideaway so that you’re always absolutely comfortable.
