Creating a Calm Corner at Home — A Mum’s Mini Sanctuary

Hey Kiya Collective,

In the midst of packed lunches, laundry piles, school runs, and the endless what’s-for-dinner questions, there’s something every mum deserves:

A space of her own.

A quiet corner to exhale.

Because let’s be honest, when you’re constantly pouring into everyone else, you need somewhere to return to. Somewhere soft. Still. Yours.

Here’s how to create a calm corner at home, your very own mini sanctuary to ground, reset, and reconnect with you.

🧺 1. Pick a Pocket of Peace (Even a Small One)

Your calm corner doesn’t need to be big. It can be a spot by the window, a cosy armchair in your bedroom, or a small section of the living room.

Look for a place where you can sit undisturbed, even for just 10 minutes.

A space that feels slightly tucked away from the chaos.

If it’s a shared space, communicate lovingly with your family that this is mummy’s moment. You deserve it.

 

✨ 2. Add Elements That Speak to Your Senses

Make it feel like a sanctuary by bringing in sensory elements that soothe:

• Sight: Soft lighting, a calming colour palette, or a beautiful piece of art.
• Touch: A textured blanket, a plush cushion, or your favourite robe.
• Smell: A candle, incense, or your go-to Kiya body oil (Sweet Nourishing Oil doubles as the perfect aromatherapy moment).
• Sound: A playlist, a meditation app, or pure silence, whatever soothes your nervous system.

Let your senses guide you. This is your invitation to romanticise the moment.

 

📚 3. Keep It Clutter-Free and Calm

The goal is for your calm corner to feel like a break, not just look like one.

Try not to let this space become a dumping ground for everyone else’s stuff. Even a simple tray, basket, or shelf can help define the space and give it some intention.

It doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to feel restorative.

🫶🏾 4. Use It for 

You-Time

, However That Looks

Once your space is set, start using it regularly — no guilt, no pressure. Some ideas:

• A quick skincare ritual to end your day
• Journaling or praying before the kids wake up
• A tea break while listening to your favourite podcast
• Five deep breaths while applying your favourite Kiya butter

 

You’re not being indulgent. You’re replenishing.

And a replenished woman can pour into her world from overflow — not depletion.

 

💛 Final Thoughts

As a mum, your world is full of noise, needs, and nurturing. But you are allowed to be cared for too.

Creating a calm corner is one of the simplest ways to give back to yourself, daily.

Because you’re not just a mum. You’re a whole woman.

And you deserve moments of peace, softness, and presence.

Even in the middle of a busy home.
