Building a home with intention
- If your house does not feel like a home, it is important to take a good look at how you've designed your house.
- The environment that surrounds you can greatly affect your mood, energy, and growth. A study found that a serene landscape mural significantly decreased stress levels of employees in a high-stress workplace.
- When you design your house with the intention of making it a place where you can grow and feel you belong, you can transform it into a home. In essence, a house is a physical living area, while a home is a space that lets you escape the noise of the outside world while nurturing your peace of mind.

The purpose of each space in your house
When sprucing up your home, remember the purpose that each room serves. Focusing on your room's purpose will make your home cozier and meaningful. If you work on your living room, ask yourself:
- Will the layout help me entertain my family and friends?
- Will this sofa help me relax after a long day?

Small design changes can make a huge impact in your life.
Keeping an eye out for details can transform your living space and make you more comfortable at home. For example, switch out old door knobs, fix up mouldings, or get a new interior door. Paint a dull door with a calming colour like lilac or teal.
