How to Bring Positive Energy to Your Home: 9 Tips

My apartment sucked the positive energy right out of me.

Until one day, my friend said, “Wow… your apartment really doesn’t feel like you at all.”

His comment stung but hit home. The energy of your home influences your mood, mindset, and relationships with others when you spend time there.

I did some research, and little by little, I started changing my space. My home went from a drag to one of my happy places where I love spending time.

I want to share with you 9 tips for how to bring positive energy into your home. By the time you apply these ideas, you’ll feel calm, happy, and inspired as soon as you walk through the door.

1. Declutter Your Home

The first step to bringing more positive vibes into your home is to declutter.

Clutter around your home isn’t just an eyesore—it affects your mental clutter. The more junk you have lying around, the more stressed you’ll feel.

Tip: Go through your things and get rid of anything you don’t use, need, or love. As you let go of the old, you make space for good energy to flow into your home. You’ll feel lighter (literally and figuratively) instantly.

Keep surfaces clear
Keep items that you love/use
Donate/recycle what you don’t need anymore

Your home will feel more calm and positive when it’s clean and organized.

2. Open Your Windows & Let The Sun In

Natural light can do wonders for your mood and energy. Sunlight increases serotonin levels, helping you feel more focused and happier.

Whenever possible, open your curtains and let the sun shine in. It doesn’t take much light to brighten a room and improve the energy vibes.

Tip: If privacy is an issue, get some sheer curtains. You can let the light shine through without exposing your space to neighbors.

3. Crack Open a Window For Fresh Air

Don’t underestimate the power of fresh air. When your home is closed up all day, it traps negative energy (and odors).

Make it a habit to open your windows daily or use an air purifier. Air flow is essential to keeping your home feeling light and happy. Plants are another great way to keep the air clean indoors.

Fact: Certain indoor plants like peace lilies or snake plants can improve your mood and help you feel less stressed.

4. Add Some Bright Colors

Colors have a significant impact on your mood. Dark, heavy colors can make your home feel gloomy. Light, warm colors instantly add a pop of happiness and energy.

You don’t have to paint your whole house to brighten up your space. Try adding:

Throw pillows
Wall art
Rugs
Curtains

Anything that sparks joy and happiness will shift the energy of your home.

5. Listen To Uplifting or Soothing Music

Music is a great way to shift your energy, so why not bring that into your home? Create a playlist of music that makes you feel good when you walk inside.

Tip: Have different playlists for working, relaxing, or cleaning. It’s okay if you don’t want to listen to heavy metal when you’re chilling on the couch.

The right music can turn your home into an uplifting and positive environment.

6. Leave Yourself Positive Reminders

One thing I do in my home is leave myself positive reminders. I have sticky notes that say I am grateful for… and leave them everywhere. I also try to journal something I’m grateful for at the end of each day.

Positive affirmations are a great way to rewire your thoughts. When your home is filled with good vibes, positivity will find you.

Tip: Put notes on your bathroom mirror, leave them on your nightstand, or jot them on the kitchen counter.

7. Keep Your Home Smelling Fresh

Your sense of smell can impact your mood more than you know. If you walk into a home that smells fresh and clean, it puts you in a good mood.

Here are some ideas to make your home smell great:

Essential oils
Scented candles
Fresh flowers/herbs

Bonus: Most plants produce smells that freshen up your home naturally.

8. Include Items That Are Meaningful To You

Your space should reflect who you are as a person. Throw up some photos, hang art that you love, or display objects that bring you joy.

When your home reminds you of what you love, you’ll feel happier and more positive.

Tip: Frame quotes that you enjoy or have objects that you’ve collected from special places.

9. Make Your Entryway Inviting

The first few seconds you spend in your home set the tone for the rest of your house. If you walk into a dark, cluttered space, you’re already starting with zero positive energy.

Make sure your entryway is inviting and gives you a sense of calm. Put shoes and coats away, add a plant or art, and make sure it’s well lit.

You’re entering your home every day. If you want to feel better when you walk in the door, start here.

Final Thoughts

Your home should be a reflection of you and how you want to feel. When there’s clutter, negative energy stuck indoors, and dark spaces, you’re more likely to feel stressed and unhappy.

Take time to clear your home of the old and make space for good energy to flow. Once you change your space, you’ll feel happier, more focused, and you’ll strengthen your relationships with those you live with.

Positive energy begins at home. What you think about will manifest around you, so let that mindset be filled with good vibes only.
