The last couple of years have been tough for many, ranging from feeling boring and lonely to stressful and tragic. There have been some big changes and people are still adjusting to new ways of doing things, even as we try to get back to normal.
Home has become a safe space for a lot of people, even if some haven’t enjoyed being stuck at home. Having somewhere calming that helps to balance your body and mind ensures that home is where you want to go when it’s time to recharge. The right interior style can turn your home into a space that you love that will help you to feel more at peace.

► Pick an interior space style that will help you calm your mind
Finding an interior style that suits your taste and will help you to relax and unwind helps you to create the sanctuary that you need. Here are three styles that focus on calming colors, relaxing shapes, and motifs that will calm your mind.
1. Muji
The Muji interior style is based on the philosophy of the Japanese brand of the same name. However, following the style doesn’t mean that you have to decorate your home entirely with their products. You can follow their philosophy and design style to create a calming home. When you’re looking for the right curtains and blinds for the Muji style, you will want to consider our Tilken roller blinds or Emmi blackout roller blinds to get that minimalist look with neutral colors.
So what exactly is Muji? The Muji style is based on minimalism, focusing on practicality and functionality, as well as quality. As with other minimalist styles, less is more when it comes to employing the Muji style in your home. However, simplistic and minimal don’t have to mean boring. You can use the Muji style and still create a home that’s beautiful to look at, while also being calming to the mind. Muji will make your home elegant and free of clutter, while also ensuring you feel comfortable, cozy, and right at home.
If you want to try out Muji style, there are some key things you need to focus on. Firstly, you need to choose clean and neat designs for your furniture and accessories. Your furniture should be well-crafted, functional, and even adaptable to different uses. Neutral colors and materials will help you to form a minimal look. Muji is informed by the Zen philosophy too, so focus on creating a calming living space, including things such as plants and making sure you have bright and airy spaces will help you get the right aesthetic.
2. Japanese wabi-sabi
Another Japanese design style that could influence how you decorate your home is wabi-sabi. The philosophy of wabi-sabi is about seeing beauty in imperfection. “Wabi” is about simplicity and humility, as well as being at one with nature. “Sabi” means to accept the lifecycle of something as it comes, including any flaws.
While it’s not strictly an interior design style, there are multiple ways this philosophy for living and aesthetics can be translated into the design of your home. It’s ideal for anyone who wants to make their home more calming and peaceful. For your window dressings, we suggest our Pimu venetian blinds ,paper woven Taoza roller blinds or Aibo roller blinds to help you master this style.
If you want to incorporate wabi-sabi into your home, think about how to bring natural touches into your design. Connecting with nature and accepting its imperfections, rather than trying to find perfection, is a key part of the philosophy.
Natural materials are often much less uniform than manufactured materials and can create the relaxed look that you want. When you’re making choices for your wabi-sabi home, be intentional and mindful about what you choose. Think about how to create the lifestyle that you want. This can include incorporating personal touches into your home decor so that you can celebrate authenticity with your personal style.
Remember that wabi-sabi isn’t about designing a perfect, magazine-worthy home. Embracing the imperfections instead of striving for perfection helps you to be more relaxed about your home so you can create a more relaxed space. You don’t need the latest interior design style trends and you don’t have to make sure that nothing is out of place
3. Japandi
The Japandi design style is a mix of Japanese and Scandinavian interior design. Both of these styles have a minimalist outlook but they approach minimalism in different ways. Mixing the two creates a calming fusion design style that’s ideal for anyone who wants their home to be relaxing and still show their personal style.
Japandi style uses functional and clean design with natural materials. Our Honeycomb shades are a great choice for this purpose, helping you to control the light in your home and save energy with improved insulation too.
There are several key points to keep in mind if you want to use Japandi style in your home. Keep your lines clean and focus on choosing functional, minimal furniture. Simple and organic shapes can be combined with natural materials to create a home that’s calming and peaceful.
While Japanese minimalism can often be monochrome, Scandi design encourages the use of a range of colors. Combining contrasting colors such as various pastel shades and wood in both dark and light shades can bring color into your home while making sure it’s not too busy and loud. You can keep everything soft and relaxing. Choose functional accessories for your Japandi home style too.
► Adjust home decoration design with reference to Feng Shui
As well as choosing the right interior design style to create a relaxing home, you can use Feng Shui to design spaces that help to give your life order and make you feel at peace.
What is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui is a Chinese concept that can be used to decorate your home in order to harness energy forces and reach a perfect balance between you and your home. Feng Shui believes in the energy of “Qi”, including five elements from nature: wood, fire, metal, earth and water.
Feng Shui can be used to ensure your home has harmony and is somewhere you can relax. You can even use it to help achieve your goals in life and design the lifestyle that you want.
How to choose the colors and materials of blinds
When you’re choosing the colors and materials of your blinds, you can think about Feng Shui and the design style that you want to employ. Using the five elements used in Feng Shui can help you to choose the right color for your needs. Your element is determined by your date of birth. Here’s what colors and materials you should choose based on each element:
- Wood – colors such as green with natural materials like wooden venetian blinds which makes you feel relaxed and have a touch of nature at home
- Fire – reds, purples and rust-orange, which inspire more cheerful and lively energies at home. You may use warm tones cushions for decorating space to create an energetic lifestyle.
- Metal – white, gray, or metallic colors including gold and silver, you could choose metal blinds such as Lansin aluminum venetian blinds for this.
- Earth – use yellow, amber, and brown to bring calming and soothing feelings to your house. Zebra blinds or light-filtering honeycomb shades can be applied in this case for you can accommodate the indoor illumination with ease.
- Water – blue or black colors in soft materials such as curtains can create a sense of air-circulation or flow at your house.
The material you use can affect your mood, so choose carefully. Feng Shui says that thick and heavy materials could prevent good luck from entering your home. Natural materials such as wood or seminatural patterns can help you to connect with nature. If you choose wooden venetian blinds, it will allow you to control light and energy.
► Using Door Curtains / Cubicle Curtains
Using door curtains or partitions is a fantastic way to compartmentalize your space. You can use them to create different zones or to transform different rooms into different purposes. This is ideal when you have multi-functional furniture that can be moved around depending on your mood. They also create privacy and can help to isolate negative energy too.
Easy-to-clean home style
One thing that can really affect your mood at home is if it’s too cluttered. You might not even notice just how much it can make a difference until you’ve tidied up and removed some clutter. If you want to make sure it doesn’t have a negative effect on your mood, here’s what you should do.
Firstly, make sure you design your home so that it’s well-organized. One of the interior styles above will help you with this, keeping things minimal and discouraging clutter. Good storage is also helpful, especially if you give everything its place. When you’re not using something, put it back where it belongs.
Secondly, use home furnishings that are easy to clean. Pick furniture and accessories that you can wipe clean, such as blinds that you can easily run a cloth or sponge over. Zebra blinds, roller blinds, and venetian blinds are all simple to clean so you can do it quickly and without any hassle. Apply the same principle to your other furniture and accessories.
► Transform your style by simply adjusting your furniture
You don’t have to completely redesign your home to change its style and reap the benefits. Making some small changes to your furniture and home accessories can make a big difference. For example, adding some cushions in neutral colors can bring calm, or using some brighter colors can add some personality to your home.
Choose the right blinds style for your needs for a simple way to change the look of your home. When you start to make these changes, you might find that bigger changes soon follow. You will begin to make other choices that slowly transform your home into a more calming place for your body and mind.
