The holidays are joyful…and busy. So we were especially delighted to be featured in a recent Houzz article, How to Recharge Over the Holidays, which shares several simple ways to slow down and find moments of calm during the season.
It’s no wonder that Houzz included our English Cottage Study. Designed as a cozy retreat, it’s the perfect place to escape the holiday hustle. Warm tones, layered textures, and thoughtful details create an inviting space for reading, journaling, or simply enjoying a quiet moment.
The article reminds us that recharging doesn’t require anything monumental. Small intentional choices, like clearing visual clutter, balancing social events with quiet nights at home, savoring nostalgic traditions or stepping outside to appreciate the contrast of winter and warmth, can make a meaningful difference.
We love the idea that rest can be built right into our homes, routines…and even our remodels. Especially this time of year, creating spaces that invite stillness can be one of the greatest gifts we can give.
Here’s to finding stillness in the in-between moments this season.
~Merry Christmas from all of us at Powell Construction!
