When I used to think of the word “sanctuary,” I imagined lavish spaces with designer furniture, plush throws, and endless Pinterest-worthy corners. The kind of homes you see in glossy magazines or on perfectly curated Instagram feeds. But as I found myself yearning for a calm, restorative space of my own, I realized that a sanctuary doesn’t have to come with a high price tag. It’s about creating a space that reflects who you are and brings you peace—on a budget you can afford. Here’s how I transformed my home into my personal sanctuary without breaking the bank.
Define Your Vision
Before you start redecorating or rearranging, it’s important to define your vision for your home. What kind of space makes you feel at ease? What colors, textures, and styles speak to you? To help narrow this down, I turned to Pinterest as a source of inspiration. By creating boards for different rooms in my home, I was able to pin ideas that resonated with me and notice patterns in my preferences.
