Breathe Deep
To self-care successfully, it’s essential to have a space where you can relax and unwind. Start by adorning your relaxation station with natural colors like white, light coral or fern-green, all of which have the power to induce a sense of serenity and calmness. For instance, you could add a velvet coral armchair and stack of good books next to a sunny window, or slip a few extra floral-colored throw pillows and blanket to your favorite love seat. Wherever you decide to set up shop, just keep with the colors, add a few calming candles and quiet noise machine, and you’ll be able to enter a state of complete Zen with the flip of a switch.

Work It Out
Another important element of self-care? Exercise! Luckily, you don’t need an expensive gym membership or an intensive training regime to release a few endorphins—all it takes is a few resistance bands, a stylish yoga mat and a dedicated space to work it out! The best exercise spots are in rooms with a little open space and a lot of natural sunlight. Once you find a space for your mini personal gym, fill it with style and positive energy by hanging up some brightly colored art or stylized inspirational quotes, and a stylish container for your mat! By creating a space in your home that you’d actually enjoy exercising in, this rejuvenating activity might just make its way from a weekly routine to a daily one!
Pro-Tip: If you plan on using weights in your workout room, make sure you have floors that are durable enough to withstand this type of wear! Vinyl, bamboo, rubber and carpet all have that extra dose of durability and absorption you want from a gym floor.

Soak It In
After exercising, it pays to have a place that you can go to refresh yourself. Enter: the master bathroom! A bathroom already has everything you need to feel rejuvenated, all you need to do is increase the comfort and style a bit! If you’re lucky enough to have a working tub, trade a quick post-workout shower for an immersive spa experience by indulging in fluffy white towels, a lush bath mat, and a few dreamy bath bombs or scented oils! Even if your bathroom is only equipped with a standing shower, these sigh-of-relief-inducing details will create a personal spa that’s within walking distance from your bed.
Pro-Tip: To turn your fairytale spa journey into a certified 5-star experience, look into a wall-mounted towel warmer! That way you can end every spa night with a perfectly-toasty towel.

Express Yourself
Now that you’ve exercised and refreshed your body, exercise your mind by enjoying your favorite hobbies! Spare rooms are the perfect place for a hobby haven because they’re (usually) isolated and free from distraction. To save yourself a slice of any room, start by sectioning it off with a stylish room divider and area rug! Then, if reading is your thing, add some cushy armchairs and a small shelf for a mini library. To unleash your inner artist, open up a window, set up an easel and get inspired! For craft connoisseurs, a small standing desk with a comfortable bar stool can create the perfect place to focus on the task at hand! No matter how you choose to stimulate your mind, you’ll be grateful to have a stylish and comfortable place to do it!
Pro-Tip: If you’re daft for crafts, incorporating built- in cabinetry in your new hobby haven can make storing and accessing your supplies a cinch. To do it in style, add some crystal knobs and pulls that’ll dazzle even the most experienced bedazzlers!

Begin Again
Every self-care journey ends and begins in the same exact place: your bed. So, why not make this pivotal place as relaxing and rejuvenating as you possibly can! For those looking for some down-to-earth, downy soft comfort, make your bed up with warm cotton flannel sheets and a knitted throw. For those looking for a more refined night’s rest, look to top your mattress with sateen or silk sheets and a down duvet. Or, if you’re happy with your current bedspread, simply upgrade your pillowcases and add a few splashes of some rose-vanilla pillow mist to make sure your head will both hit the bed, and leave it, with a smile.
Pro-Tip: If you want to catch Zs like the pros, the first step is blocking out the light—both inside and out! Hang up some blackout curtains that match your bedding, enforce a strict “no screens” (phone, tablet, computer, or television) rule, and get ready for the REM cycle of a lifetime.
