Americans spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, according to the EPA. Whether you work from home or in the office, you spend a chunk of your life in your home. It’s where you eat, sleep, possibly work, and relax (hopefully). So, it’s critical to make sure your home is a space that you actually want to be in. Whether you are ready to start fresh in a new home from Paran Homes or just need to take back control of your space, here are 3 simple steps to making your home a sanctuary. Self-care at home doesn’t have to be complicated!

Create a Dedicated Home Office for Better Self-Care

Many companies are still work-from-home or have flexible schedules where employees can  work hybridly. This means your 90% of indoor time is spent in significant part at home, so work/life balance can feel nonexistent. Creating a dedicated work space can save you a lot of stress and help you separate work and home life. Plus, you’ll be less distracted compared to a high-traffic area like a dining room table. Add some art, a desk lamp, and plant to make the space feel welcoming each day! You’ll not only be more productive in a home office, but you can unplug and shut the door until the next day.

Our Oakleigh Pointe community offers floor plans with up to 5 bedrooms and flex space, like game rooms in the Sutton and dedicated studies in the Cambridge Plan. This community is priced from the $400s, and has available homes now!

Wonderful Smells Affect Your Mood

Your sense of smell plays a part in your overall mood, as well as the atmosphere in your home. For example, lavender is known to help relieve stress and promote natural sleep and relaxation. It is the perfect scent for a night of self-care at home. Citrus, another highly-used scent, will bring the sunshine inside for the colder months when the days are shorter, or on any rainy day! Citrus is a mood-booster that helps you stay focused and happy.

Our communities across Metro Atlanta are designed with open-concept layouts! Add a candle, diffuser, or wall plug-in, and the aroma will extend throughout the house for maximum effect.

The Psychology of Color

Color plays a major visual factor in determining your mood. Picking colors to add into the room like for accent walls, pillows, and rugs can trigger different emotional reactions. Blues are great for the bedrooms, because of their calming effect. Green, like in the dining room of our model home at Traditions of Braselton, associates with nature and is a refreshing color. It promotes peace, harmony, and good energy so when guests are over the atmosphere is always right!

You always hear the term “spring cleaning”, but fall is the perfect time to refresh your home and get ready for the colder weather. To bring out the chunky-knit sweaters and fall decorations, though, you have to have room for it! Deep cleaning can be an all-day adventure, but when you own one of our one-level homes in our 3 active adult communities, fall cleaning is made easy! Paran Homes builds comfortable and convenient homes in 55+ communities in Gwinnett and Cobb County. Ensure a cozy fall and winter in a brand new home with these cleaning and organization tips and one level designs.

A Clean Kitchen Means A Clean Mind

The kitchen is easily the heart of your home. The condition of the kitchen creates the ambiance for the whole home. Our active adult communities feature chef-inspired kitchens with designer features to make organization easier and clean-up a breeze. For example, Gladstone Landing is our Powder Springs community, which features double sinks, walk-in pantries, tile backsplashes, and spacious granite islands.

A good place to start in the kitchen is cleaning out your refrigerator and freezer. It is easy to let the condiments and frozen vegetables stack up and overflow! If you have seen the viral organization videos, you may have already heard of this amazing trick. But if not, these organization bins for your refrigerator/freezer are game changers. You can easily spot your favorite frozen meals for a quick dinner or keep an eye on your produce before it goes bad.

Spacious Storage Options

For the fashion lovers and those with overflowing closets, a fall cleanout and organization is crucial to take on the cooler days ahead. Old pieces, or clothing from over the summer can be organized by keep, donate, or toss! When your closet is organized with only clothes that you’ll wear, or that match the current season, you have more space and can get the most use out of your wardrobe. A mudroom or linen closet are also perfect spaces to hang your coats to give you more room in your closet.

Seaboard Junction in Loganville offers one-level homes with spacious owner’s closets and walk-up storage for homeowner convenience. Once you have the keep pile from your closet cleanout, you can put them into bins and store them in the walk-up space in your two-car garage. The owner’s suite closet has plenty of room to store your thickest sweaters and heaviest coats. The mudroom (per plan) can store quick-grab coats for walking the dog or getting the mail. And, the linen closet will hold the overflow of warm blankets, extra sheets for guests, and chunky winter boots!

Extra Bedrooms for Holiday Guests

The best part of the cooler weather ahead of us is the family time that comes with it. There is an array of holidays during these months that encourage creating memories and sharing laughs with your loved ones. Whether sharing eggnog or inviting family to stay the night, you’ll need a clean guest bedroom set up for a seamless holiday experience. The one-level homes in Creekwood boast elegant floor plans with 2-3 bedrooms, perfect for hosting and overnight guests.

Extra bedrooms can easily become the room to store all your extra decor, clothes, and everything in between. When you clean and organize the guest room, your guests will be comfortable. And, you’ll be happy to have a clean flex space when guests aren’t around. Deep cleaning flex rooms for the fall can consist of organizing your beloved nick-nacks with under-the-bed storage and refreshing the bedding with cold-weather linens.

Cleaning is the Perfect Introduction to a New Season

A one-level home in a Paran Homes 55+ neighborhood is a fantastic choice. It makes deep cleaning and everyday life easier! As an active adult, you’ll enjoy not having to haul cleaning supplies up the stairs or climbing to the attic to store your things, plus so much more. Welcome a brand new season in a brand new home in one of our 55+ communities. Speak with an agent today, and spend your holiday seasons in a beautiful new construction home.

In an age-qualified community from Paran Homes, you’ll find thoughtful designs, modern styles, and luxuries to create lifestyles that residents will love. Creekwood is our newest 55+ community in a fun Powder Springs location.

With clear views to the family and dining room from the kitchen, everyday life is seamless, whether warming up by the fireplace or sitting on the covered patio for a cup of coffee.

Bunk beds will give them one room for sleeping and another to fill with toys and games galore! Home offices are always a hit too. Whether working remotely, creating a quiet space to keep papers organized, or for picking up a new craft, an office that is close to the kitchen (for a quick pick-me-up) is so convenient!
