Counsel #21 — Make it You

Picture: Counsel #21 — Make it You CWe 250.1

Most people desire a personalized space that they can call their own. For parents or kids, personalizing your space can transform your home in a way that reflects your personality, values, and comfort, further enhancing emotional well-being. CWe 250.2

To personalize your space, start by incorporating fun colors, décor, and pieces of furniture that resonate with you. Whether you love warmer tones, cozy blankets, or vibrant artwork, small details can make your space feel comforting. Another thing to consider is adding meaningful items around the room for display purposes. Photos of your family or friends, or even faith-based décor can liven the environment and instantly boost your mood. Just as important as décor is how you organize and arrange your space. If you love to read or spend considerable time in prayer, think about adding a reading section or prayer corner. Consider adding candles, plants, or other soft lighting additions to amplify the soothing aspect of the atmosphere. By doing this, your sanctuary will easily become a place that you frequent to unwind, connect with God, be creative, and simply relax.^[284] CWe 250.3
