A home, any home, is supposed to be a peaceful place of comfort and nourishment, one you can relax in at the end of a hard work day and rejuvenate some of your energies. This isn’t always that easy a task, especially if your home environment hasn’t been designed well or if some outside elements are a little harder to control.A home, any home, is supposed to be a peaceful place of comfort and nourishment, one you can relax in at the end of a hard work day and rejuvenate some of your energies. This isn’t always that easy a task, especially if your home environment hasn’t been designed well or if some outside elements are a little harder to control.
You may have known your house was situated near a busy road or a bar when you first purchased it, but dealing with some of the noise consequences can be a little tough, for example. How do you avoid disturbing your peace in such settings? It’s not always easy, but it can be done.
The best outcome will also depend on your personality type and preferences. Will some greenery help with your living room harmony? We think so. Some even use tools like negative ionisers or Blue Shield EMF to make the space feel a little calmer.
In this post, we’ll discuss some ways to improve comfort and peace.
Limit Electronic Humming & Consider Ambient Calm
With all the televisions, boxes, games consoles, routers and more that may be prevalent in a household, it’s fair to say that the constant drone of devices can be a little tiresome. If you can spread some of these throughout your house that’s fine, but you can also use ambient music to limit that.
In some cases, you may find that placing the item elsewhere can help. An air purifier can be set to eco mode and placed further back in the room, and it’ll still continue its helpful filtering throughout the day. You can also place some items on stands or add rubber gromit feet to the bottom, meaning they hum against a wooden surface less. This can help the noise made by personal computers or games consoles.
Think About Light Pollution
If you have large, bright streetlights outside of your home, they might be affecting your comfort in the evenings. Blackout curtains or stronger blinds and shutters can be a good idea, as can a more ambient lighting in the room with artwork or mirrors that help you ensure the space doesn’t feel isolated or compact.
This especially works in a bedroom, where to get good sleep you usually need to shut everything out. A face mask might help, but addressing the light coming in is also worthwhile. If there are plans locally to implement more lights or you have the chance to push back against any developments, that could help a touch too.
Balance Privacy
Privacy is, of course, your right in any home, but how you manage that can be different from place to place. If you have huge open bay windows and you live in an urban environment, you may need to add muslin curtains or nets to prevent people from seeing it at all times of day.
Of course, you can also balance hedges and even use fencing or trees to your advantage depending on the makeup of your household. Sometimes you can even add curtains to close at specific times if needed, meaning the house stays private even when you’re not there.
With this advice, we hope you can more easily avoid disturbed sleep in a household environment.
