Life is made up of sensations and experiences that we do not always know how to define. One of them is related to those physical spaces that, at a certain moment, are shaped and become our home.
We must be clear that what really makes a house, our sweet home, is not the luxuries, nor the remodeling or decorations that can be made. Mainly, a house becomes a real home because of the sensation or inspiration it gives you from the first moment you enter it and you really feel good.
There is a process of emotional connections where we see if it can really be our home or not, and there are a variety of studies that environmental psychology has been studying for decades.
The house is that place where we long to have protection and freedom at the same time, it is that concrete shelter where we protect ourselves from the outside to feel free and be ourselves with fullness and without a mask.”
On the other hand, we will give you a series of elements that you should take into account to turn your home into your happy place:
- How do you visualize yourself in that place called “home”? According to psychologist Hazel Markus who developed the theory of the “I” and comments “that when we are looking at a property, either to buy or rent and out of the blue it catches our attention, it is because we have projected ourselves in that space, we visualize ourselves resting, working, and sharing with our loved ones”. Home is that place where we develop as people in all versions.
- The home is our space, but it will not be completely until we give it that unique touch with every personal detail such as photographs, pictures, among other objects; creating that atmosphere of attachment, security, comfort, leaving a personal stamp that will define and reflect how we are in every way.
- The house must adapt to the basic needs and self-realization, it is a scenario where we can be, be and grow.
- It is a space that reminds you of other places where you had happiness, there can be many factors, whether it is the color of the walls, the view from every window or even the smell you breathe in the surrounding environment. It is impressive, but there are places that make us remember others, for example where a family member lived, from the same childhood or where we went on vacation.
- Our sweet home or happy place is defined by who lives in it, a house is like an entity with a life of its own, we ourselves give it that distinctive touch that makes it ours, giving it care, love, filling each space with every belonging and the sound of daily life.
To really feel happy and fulfilled in our space, the most important thing is to be with the people we love, family, friends and pets with them we develop the emotional part that makes it our home. No matter where you are, as long as you are happy and surrounded by people who bring joy to your life, any place is ideal.
