HOW TO MAKE A ROOM IN YOUR NEW HOME A SANCTUARY

How to Make a Room in Your New Home a Sanctuary

After buying a new home, with the help of the Banaga Group, there is an abundance of things you want to do to make it your own. Changing the paint, digging out a pool or planting new flowers to make your yard pop can make any home your very own. When it comes to the inside of the home, everything has a place. The kitchen and the living room get the typical furniture and decorative additions to make it homey, but what about that extra room you have? This article will discuss how you can take the extra room in your home and create your own sanctuary. 

Why do I need my own room?

An easy answer to this question is because you want it. If you feel like you have the space and want the room, take it. Your hard work in purchasing your own home has come to an end and you deserve your own piece of heaven. 

Make a plan

The first step in creating a paradise at home for yourself is to make a plan. Without a plan, things can go from dreamy to daunting in a heartbeat. Start by mapping out which rooms are free. Creating a map can save time and energy when it comes to picking which room you will make into your own dream space. Your new home has limitless possibilities but making everyone in your home happy with the arrangement should be the top priority. Once everyone has their designated bedrooms and playrooms, you can snag up that extra room and make it yours. 

 
Decide what you will use it for

The next step in creating your sanctuary is to decide what you want from your extra space. Perhaps you have a hobby like sewing or writing, perhaps you like to read or simply relax. Once you decide the direction the room will go, decorating will become a breeze. Knowing that you want two book cases or room for candles and fountains can make the process of building your individual paradise easier. 

Pick relaxing colors

Let's say you decide to take a room and create a relaxing beach themed sanctuary. Choosing light tans and baby blues can give this island paradise that extra relaxing feel. Colors are essential to the tone and flow of your room. Be sure to grab as many samples as needed to ensure that you get the right energy from your newfound hideaway. The team members at the Banaga Group can assist you through providing resources for any services or materials you may need during this journey.

Know your budget

Shoveling out all the family savings to create a paradise in your home can be an easy mistake to make. Remember to work within budget and relax knowing that you do not have to do it all in one day. You have years to create the perfect place to relax. Knowing what you can afford and sticking to it is important to keep your entire family happy. With your entire family pleased, it becomes easier for you to relax as well. 

Remember to remind the family

Spending time with your family is great. However, at some point we all need a little alone time. Remember to let your family know that this room is your piece of paradise. It is important to set a boundary that you are comfortable with or in the blink of an eye your sanctuary could turn into another family room or your children's play room. Don't feel bad that you want some time alone, they have what they need, and you deserve to as well. 

Significant other

Allowing your significant other to partake in your beach themed room, activity room or hobby room can help build your relationship. If you and your significant other want to pretend to be on an island in Hawaii sipping Mai Thais together, do it. There is nothing more relaxing than being on vacation in your own home. Enjoy each other's company and spend time together if that is what you enjoy. This room can help build a stronger bond between a married couple when life gets too hectic. 

Look for ideas

Perhaps you do not have any hobbies or perhaps you don't like the beach. Maybe you just want a room where you can do whatever you want without ‘real life’ knocking at your door. You can find many ideas as to how you can create the perfect paradise by simply looking online. It is important to keep your mind open and explore every decorative possibility that there is. With so many options available, it can become overwhelming. However, remember that this is a time to relax and enjoy creating a paradise. You are doing this on your own time, at your own pace and with your own budget. Take your time and make sure you pick a room that you can enjoy for years and won't regret creating. 

Final thoughts

It does not matter what you want the room for. The most important thing is making it personalized. By separating your own needs from the needs and wants of your family, you can focus on why you want your own paradise and how you want that paradise to look. This room, this paradise, this vacation spot is designed for you. You are the creator and the boss. There are many times in life when we put ourselves last. It is vital that you take the appropriate time to remember that just because you are busy with people who need your direction and help, you yourself also need considerable attention.
