Home is where relaxation should be key, especially since most of us live busier lives than ever before.

Relaxed furniture will help you slow down and enjoy life.

Designing your home for maximum relaxation is a great strategy to help you find peace and calm when you enter your home environment. Relaxed furniture will add calm to your home.

It’s designed to be comfortable and easy going.

Focus on purchasing pieces of furniture – especially your upholstered sofas and chairs – that help you create a soft and gentle living space:

• Less structured
• More rounded edges than square corners
• Well cushioned
• Soft, sensuous fabrics
• Comfortable construction
• No-fuss, informal slip covers

Finish off your relaxed furniture with other home elements that can help you feel more relaxed including:

• Soft lighting
• Calming paint colors
• Natural materials and colors
• Puffy throw pillows
• Soft rugs (maybe even a faux fur rug!)
• Soothing scents created by candles and fresh flowers
• Soft and translucent window fashions

In the boudoir, soften the bed with an upholstered headboard. Add a sumptuous duvet, lots of comfortable pillows and soft lighting.

Adding relaxed furniture and accessories can help you feel calm and rested – and actually make you feel more at home in your home.
