I am not a Calm person.But I like a Calm home.I like a home full of potential for exciting work but with a corner for embracing Calm.That’ the reason I paint calm too.
15 Tips for Creating a Calm Home
Buy less.Shop from your home.
Have hobbies that are useful for home decor.That way its a wonderful way to have art and craft as part of your life.
Reduce visual clutter and really declutter.
Empty the surfaces.Tops of dressers,cabinets are dust magnets.The less you have on them the easier it is to clean.Have a few pieces and recycle the rest.
Allow everyone to help.
Have a place for everything.
Put away stuff ,not in their places before bedtime.
Give yourself grace for those difficult days.Goblin mode and the Marie Kondo method arrived from the same brain.Her name is Marie Kondo and once upon a time she talked about the Life Changing Magic of Clearing up.We have different seasons in life too.Sometimes leaves need to fall before new ones can truly sprout.Marie married and after she became a mommy ,she realized sometimes goblin mode is the other name for survivor mode.
Love the home you have by Melissa Michaels is a must read too,if you want to love the home where you live.Because home is not just an address its where your heart lives,breathes,loves and sleeps. It’s your haven ,the place where you find calm and peace

Have a no-overwhelm cleaning routine .
Buy less.

A calm home brings in better focus and happier days.
Interesting that getting married and becoming a mother changed Marie Kondo’s perspective. I’d like to read Melissa Michaels’ book. Thanks for sharing these tips. They are good reminders!
Thanks Jeanine
Great tips and I feel a big load off my shoulders since I finished decluttering the garage and giving the guest room a makeup! The gray walls are so soothing and relaxing. I just might stay in that room for a night and pretend I’m visiting. Congratulations on another UBC Amrita, see you next challenge!
Yes getting rid of clutter helps feel better.I find thats an added bonus
Great tips, especially making sure everything is put away before you go to bed.
Yes .Thats my number one rule before bedtime.
Congrats on finishing the writing challenge, Amrita. I don’t know how you do it with your job and all. I like the reminder that calm doesnโt have to mean boring, especially loved your take on decluttering without perfectionism.
Thanks Tamara .Sometimes I don’t manage very well but just trying helps.
Great tips! This is something I have been getting better at! I like the idea of doing crafts that can be used as nice decor at home.
Yes that’s a good one for me too. It helps make the home really become a part of us.
