It’s not uncommon for a person’s home to feel cramped, clustered, and just uncomfortable overall. However, that doesn’t mean it has to stay that way. There are methods to keep your home from feeling like an uncomfortable dud to the paradise it really is. In this article, we’ll be providing you with ways to help your home feel cozier.
Get Rid of the Staircase
Table of Contents
Climbing the stairs can become very tedious and unnecessarily stressful. Not to mention, it’s also a potential hazard if you live with someone that has a disability or is elderly. But slip and falls can happen when you least expect them to, regardless of if you’re young or old. So, you might be thinking how exactly you’re going to get upstairs without a staircase. Well, the answer is simple: you invest into incredible home elevators! There are steps to having one installed in your home and it can be an expensive renovation to take on.
On average, home elevators cost $25,000, but there are cheaper prices. Some of these elevators may only cost $10,000. Something you need to keep in mind though, you could very well have to add more space into your home before you can install it. To make sure your home can fit it, you’ll have to consult a professional elevator specialist to check everything out. They’ll assess the house from top to bottom and tell you whether or not you need to invest in some extra space. While there are costs to factor in, it’s worth it over time when you think of being able to age in place, instead of finding other suitable living arrangements.
Consider Adding Some More Color
Sure you can decorate your house with photos and be done with it, but that’s not very intentional. You’d be surprised at how underrated the colors in your home actually are. At first, you may only think that they only compliment your chosen style. While that may be true, there’s more to it than that. In fact, did you know that color can have an effect on your mental and emotional wellbeing? Colors can affect how we feel inside our homes. Blue is a color that’s considered to convey a sense of peace and tranquility. It’s also said to help people think more. Red is said to convey more intense feelings, like passion. The psychology of colors is astounding and it may be in your best interest to further research what each one can do.
Use Proper Lighting
The lighting in a home can affect a lot of things. But compared to the other two options, there’s actually a right and wrong way to go about this. You don’t want to have too little light as that can make you feel even more uncomfortable and even isolated. If there’s too much light, it can make it feel more like a doctor’s office as it saps all the warmth out. You need to incorporate a balance and use as much natural lighting as you can.
