5 Tips for Creating a Soulful Home

A soulful home is not about perfect design or the latest décor — it’s about creating a home that tells the story of who you are and who you love. It’s where beauty sets the stage for belonging, and where comfort becomes a quiet invitation to slow down, breathe deep, and be yourself. Here’s my Home Philosophy + 6 Characteristics of a Soulful Home.

In a nutshell, if you think of your home as a sanctuary where grace and hospitality and joy are paramount. If you’re reading and thinking, “Yes! I want my house to be that kind of home …” then YAY! Here’s a list of 5 tips for Creating a Soulful Home.

5 Tips for a Soulful Home

• Comfort First
  Choose cozy textures, soft lighting (all the lamps!), and pieces that invite people to linger. A soulful home invites you in the minute you walk through the door.
• Highlight Family Stories
  Fill your rooms with things that hold meaning — family heirlooms, handwritten notes, books you love, art from your children.
• Joyful Simplicity
  Keep spaces uncluttered and easy to live in. A soulful home makes space for what matters most — not just more things, but more life.
• Everyday Rituals
  Anchor your days with small sacred rhythms: morning coffee by the window, lighting a candle at dinner, grocery store roses on the table. These rituals turn ordinary moments into something special.
• Open-Hearted Hospitality
  Welcome others just as you are, just as they are. A soulful home is less about impressing guests and more about embracing them.

Creating a soulful home is not a one-time project; it’s a tender, ongoing practice. It’s choosing day by day – to nurture joy, comfort, and belonging within your walls — so your home becomes a gentle refuge from the noise of the world.

Here’s a prayer for your house to be a soulful space, and peaceful place.
