Create Your Own Personal Chill Out Space

Life is stressful. With so many commitments dragging you in a million different directions all at once, it is easy for things to get on top of you. Having a place to go where you can unwind and shelter from the outside world is important for your peace of mind, and that is where a chill out space in your home can be invaluable. Here are a few tips that will help you to create your own personal sanctuary at home.

Select a Location

Obviously, you will first need a location to house your chill out space. Ideally, you will want to have a separate room where you can close the door and shut yourself away for as long as you need. If you don’t have a room that is going spare, perhaps you could convert some other unused space such as an attic, basement or garage. If not, the corner of another room is going to be your best option.

Remove the Clutter

If there is one thing that a chill out room should be, it is minimal and uncluttered. So, you should be looking to transfer everything you can into other areas of the house. Better still, you could get rid of some things entirely. A good rule to follow is the 80/20 one. Essentially, we tend to use 20% of our things 80% of the time, so it is the other items that you should be looking to target as much as possible.

Create Your Space

You’ve chosen your space, you’ve decluttered and now is the time to get creative. If you don’t have a whole room to use, you could hang some drapes that will keep you separate from the rest of the area. Think about the things that make you feel at your most relaxed, both from a design point of view and any entertainment options you want in there as well.

Center on Comfort

Maximum comfort is obviously one of your primary objectives in your chill out space, so the first thing that you will want to think about is furniture. You might want a good-sized sofa or prefer a cozy armchair – it is all down to your personal preferences. Take a look at worldofrenovation.com.au for some ideas and inspiration. Fill the room with pillows, cushions, soft throws and blankets. Make sure you think about temperature control as well so you can keep the room warm and toasty.

Personal Relaxing Components

Again, this is all about creating a space that is personal to you. So, if you like unwinding with a good book, a shelf of your favorites and a reading lamp are what you will be after. Sound and smell are two other elements that you will want to get right. Add in a good speaker system and some scented candles to create the right ambience. Ultimately, everything should be working in harmony to create the most relaxing experience possible.
