Candle, wax warmers, incense, all-natural spray, and essential oils are just a few ways to add your favorite scent to a room. Your cleaning products are another easy way to add a pleasing aroma to your home.

Clutter can be a stress inducer for many people. Take charge of your clutter with a weekly or daily decluttering routine. Don’t try to conquer all your clutter in one day. That is more than likely to induce stress instead of dissolve it. Chip away at clutter one area and one day at a time. Celebrate your small accomplishments by enjoying the new space that you have created.
A clutter free area will inspire tranquility.
A Cozy Corner

Whether you prefer a cozy reading nook with an overstuffed chair, good lighting, and a little take to perch your coffee or hot tea… or a corner filled with a plush rug and piles of pillows where you can stretch out to flip through magazines with a glass of wine, prepare a place for yourself.
Sound
Some people prefer silence while others enjoy the beat of their favorite songs. Sound is another great way to bring a sense of peace to your Charlotte apartment. Soothing sounds could include jazz, a wave machine, or even the gently hum of a fan.
