Home is not just a physical place, but a place of safety and comfort. It is the place where you can be yourself, surrounded by family and friends who love and support you. But home can also be an emotional state of mind, created through Christian values that provide guidance and stability in our lives. In this post, I’m going to be discussing the physical home.

Christian values such as love, kindness, respect, honesty and humility are essential components in creating a home with lasting meaning. They help us to form strong relationships with those around us, build trust and foster a sense of belonging. With these values in mind, we can create an inviting atmosphere that encourages growth within our family unit and beyond.

Home is where the heart is and mine needs a bit of sprucing up. Given the little time I have to spend at home, I want to make sure that it’s a place of peace and comfort. A home with nice memories and a warm feeling, in other words, the perfect place to unwind. With this in mind, I’ve been exploring ways to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere through decorating. From selecting the right colour palette, to exploring ways to add warmth with furniture and accessories – here are my top tips for creating a welcoming home:

1. Choose the right color palette. A good colour palette should be well-balanced, harmonious, and aesthetically pleasing. It should also reflect the personality and purpose of your home. For a home that is warm, cozy, and inviting, bright colours often work best. For example, natural materials like wood and stone can be the perfect backdrop for bold colour choices. My color palette is a bit different for every room but I am loving blues for my living room. It’s the first part of the home so it’s great to enter a room of calming colors. This is accented by all the plants! Plants will come up alot in this list.

2. Create a focal point. A focal point gives your space directionality and helps to direct attention to more than one place in your room at the same time. A great focal point can also be used as an anchor in case things get too hectic or chaotic—- if you want to make sure that everything stays on track when entertaining guests or having family over for dinner.

3. Add warmth with accessories. Some great examples include a fireplace, rugs and blankets, plants, potted flowers or succulents, and artwork.

4. Add a pop of color with accessories. Especially in the kitchen: bright toppers for your kitchen appliances (on the refrigerator door), colorful cooking utensils (your blender may be turquoise), brightly colored towels on the towel rack..Especially in the kitchen: bright toppers for your kitchen appliances (on the refrigerator door), colorful cooking utensils (your blender may be turquoise), brightly colored towels on the towel rack.

5. Add a pop of color with a favorite flower or plant. Yes, Get a plant. What better way to make your house a home than imbuing it with some of God’s creations. Plus depending on which plants you chose, you can be simultaneously purifying the air.

6. Put your bedspread on the bed. This is a final touch that makes it feel cozy and inviting. You can also add some pillows to make it look more comfortable if you need to.
