Since the year 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has confined us to our homes, forcing us into an unexpected “house arrest.” However, this situation has sparked a renewed focus on home life and the concept of gentle living. We’ve learned to appreciate the small things in life, from enjoying a cup of Dalgona coffee to becoming avid plant enthusiasts. As someone who has embraced the homebody lifestyle with open arms, I’ve made it a priority to curate a collection of unique and bespoke furniture, decor, trinkets, and interior designs from local small businesses. These items have helped transform my room into a sanctuary of solitude, providing respite from the chaos and stress of daily life. Investing in your living space can truly make a difference in your well-being, and I’m excited to share my top picks for home decor with you.
