After a long day at work, or out socializing with friends, there’s no better relief than returning back to your own home. Home is a safe-space, a peaceful haven and your opportunity to wind down and put yourself first. So, creating a wellness sanctuary within your house is crucial to a well-balanced lifestyle, promoting mindfulness and relaxation in a world that often pushes the opposite. Here we have compiled some of the best items you can buy to elevate your home transformation, creating your very own tranquil space without breaking the bank.
Your Own Wellness Sanctuary Awaits: Essential Wellness Items
Aromatherapy Diffuser: A Breath of Fresh Air
Having a good diffuser in the home can make all the difference to its ambiance. Scents have a powerful way of influencing our moods, and essential oils are blended in such a way to evoke different benefits. For example, you might use one blend that is good for sleep in the bedroom, and another that is energizing in the kitchen. Whatever your goals, a good diffuser disperses the oils into the air of the room, spreading the calm vibes and elevating your wellness sanctuary.
This one from ASAKUKI features multiple light and nebulizer modes, so that you can find the exact version that works in your home.
Scented Stick Diffuser: Gentle Aromas
A stick diffuser works a little differently, in that the sticks become saturated over time and provide a constant, subtle aroma. For a low-maintenance pick these work brilliantly. With an elegant look and thousands of scents to choose from, this is a simple and affordable wellness item to add to your sanctuary.
We’ve found this one from Cocorrina, featuring a fresh cotton scent and beautiful preserved flowers for a touch of natural decor.
Himalayan Salt Lamp: Glow and Purify
Not only do salt lamps give a beautiful warm glow, with a unique aesthetic that adds to the natural look of your home, they also have air purifying qualities. With beauty and wellness benefits, what’s not to like?
This one from Himalayan Glow Store is made from natural salt crystals and emanates a peaceful, amber glow into the room.
Indoor Plants: Bring Nature In
Bringing the outside in is one of the oldest tricks in the wellness book. It’s no coincidence that your favorite spas, yoga studios and hotels are dripping with wonderful greenery; plants improve the air quality of any wellness sanctuary and go a long way to calm the mind.
You can find some lovely plants from Costa Farms Store. This peace lily comes with a decorative pot and brings natural calm to the space.
Scented Candles: Light Fragrance
Another option for adding calming scents to your home, candles create a gorgeous warm glow that help to cultivate the peaceful ambiance we are aiming for. Just a couple can go a long way towards a more serene environment.
There are thousands of candles for every budget on the market. This pack from PELN contains six candles of different scents, so that you can have a different vibe in each room of your wellness-oriented home.
Water Fountain: Soothing Sounds
Another effective way to bring the peaceful qualities of nature indoors is by installing a little water fountain in your home. It doesn’t have to be anything grand, as even a small water fountain produces a wonderful gentle sound that helps to calm the mind.
Here’s a good option from Homedics, with a three-tier design creating a peaceful soundtrack to your day.
Air Purifier: Breathe Easy
Live in a city? Urban environments can pollute the air we breathe. Clean air is fundamental to our wellbeing, so investing in an air purifier for your home could make a huge difference to your health. A small step towards happier lungs and a happier you.
This one from Levoit covers a diverse range of concerns, from allergies to pollution and dust.
Palo Santo Sticks: Energy Cleanse
You may have seen these powerful sticks used in yoga classes or healing sessions. Used for generations all over the world, Palo Santo is a special wood that creates a wonderful smelling smoke once burnt. Known for its energy clearing properties, having a few of these on hand will certainly boost your home transformation.
Check out this set from Luna Sundara, ethically sourced from South America and with enough sticks for every room of your home.
Sage Sticks: Ancient Purification
Not unlike Palo Santo, sage is a well-known tool for cleansing spaces of negative energies. Burning sage is an ancient practice, used by everyone from witches to shamans, but you don’t need to be a professional holistic healer to enjoy its scent and benefits. Pop this in a pot next to your Palo Santo and you have the beginnings of an energy clearing station in your home.
This white sage from Pachamama Essentials is organically grown in California, and comes in a convenient bundle of three.
Incense Holder: For a Meditative Home
The musky aroma of incense creates a warm and calm atmosphere. It is used widely in many different cultures to enhance meditation and yoga practices, helping to produce a sense of peace and focus. If it works for the yogis, why not within your home?
This holder from EDHAS is made of mango wood, making it not only a practical ash-catcher for your incense, but a beautiful feature on your coffee table or desk.
Soft Lighting Fixtures: Warm Ambiance
Lighting can make or break the atmosphere of a space. Harsh, white lights are more often associated with clinical settings than with a wellness sanctuary. So, set your sights on some soft lighting to boost the calming vibe of your home with just the twist of a lightbulb or dimmer switch.
We found this plug in night light from Sujeet, which casts a gorgeous amber glow about the space. Place it wherever you think will benefit from its atmospheric colour.
Art Prints and Posters: Visual Inspiration
Home decor is often a reflection of your personality, character and history. If a wellness sanctuary is what you’re manifesting within you, let it show on your walls. Inspiring or calming artwork can go a long way to setting the mood of a space, so choose wisely and authentically for your home transformation.
Art is personal, but we love this wall art from SiGuTie. Featuring a beautiful lake and waterfall, it brings the beauty and bounty of nature into the home.
Essential Oil Rollers: One-the-Go Wellness
Okay, we’ve touched on the power of essential oils. But what if you need their benefits on the go? Keeping a couple of portable, roll-on essential oil dispensers by your door means you can conveniently take their stress-relieving properties into the rest of your day. Roll a little on your pulse points and pop it into your pocket for later.
This set from HERBROMASS contains four different blends that correspond to your needs, from stress and sleep to focus and rest.
Throw Blankets: Ultimate Comfort
Getting cuddly in your own home is essential. As your safe space away from stressors, the warmth and coziness provided by the humble blanket is a great addition to any wellness-oriented living room, and a must-have item for optimum comfort.
Here’s a lovely option from EMME, made from muslin cotton and gentle to the skin, with a huge range of colors to choose from.
Natural Fiber Rugs: Inviting Texture
Padding around in your bare feet is one of the many joys of being in your own home. Elevate the experience by investing in a natural fiber rug, adding a natural, warming texture underfoot to your wellness sanctuary. Make your space more inviting and homely in an instant.
This one from nuLOOM is a handwoven jute rug, perfect for your lounge, kitchen or dining room.
Massage Chair or Cushions: Relaxing Relief
Tense muscles are often a reflection of a tense mind, and vice versa. It’s not always easy, or affordable, to head out to a masseuse every time you need help to unwind. Bring the relaxation to you by investing in a good massage chair or pillow, to work out your muscle tightness at home – a powerful addition to your wellness sanctuary that raises the vibrations of your home transformation.
Check out this option from CARSHION, featuring a seat warmer and five massage settings to fully tailor your experience.
White Noise Machine: Sleeping Sound
Perhaps one of the most important parts of any wellbeing journey is proper sleep. Making your home a sanctuary to better sleep can be done with just a few tweaks. A white noise machine emits a neutral frequency that many find super calming, taking you to a restful slumber.
This one from Meditation features 30 different sound frequencies, 12 colors and 10 lighting settings, making it super adjustable and personalizable to your home and preferences.
Crystal Tree: Healing Chakras
Bring a touch of the spiritual to your space with a chakra stone tree. A visual reminder of those all-important energy centers located down our spine, this piece can form a beautiful element to a meditation altar and enhance the flow of positive energy through your wellness sanctuary home.
We like this option from KARMAPLEDGE. It is visually stunning, handmade and contains all the stones required for a balanced energy.
Manifestation Candle: Cleanse with Flames
Many wellbeing fanatics turn to manifestation to work towards the realization of their ambitions and goals. Having a point of focus helps, and a manifestation or energy candle is a great place to start. Gazing upon the flame is a potent symbol of transformation, making a candle like this a great addition to your wellness-centered home.
Check this one out from Magnificent 101, which includes pure sage leaves for an extra dose of spiritual cleansing.
Moon Lamp: Out of this World Lighting
We’ve talked about the importance of lighting. An even more unique way to transform your home is with decorative lighting pieces like a moon lamp, emanating a calming glow and bringing an otherworldly quality to your decor. What better way to be mindful of your place in the universe than to bring outer space to you.
We love this moon lamp from Mydethun, for its unique and beautiful ceramic base and adjustable brightness options.
Quote Canvas: Words of Inspiration
Sometimes words of wisdom from an external source are all that’s needed to change your attitude. From affirmations to manifestations, an inspirational quote adorning your wall might be just what you need to make your space more positive.
What resonates with you is personal. We have picked out this canvas from Primitives by Kathy, to remind us that no one is without fault.
Herb Garden Kit: Nourishing Freshness
Food is central to our inner nourishment and fundamental to any wellness journey. Many wellness fanatics champion that being closer to the production of the food we eat leads to a much more mindful eating experience. An approachable way to start this journey is by cultivating your own herb garden at home.
This kit from Planter’s Choice stood out to us for its wide range of herb options and super simple process.
