Q
uality of life can come
down to something as
basic as lost car keys.
It’s such a simple
thing, but when you’re rushing to get
out the door, it can be a major source
of stress. Same goes for kids dropping
their backpacks in the kitchen when
they get home from school or tracking
muddy shoes over your freshly mopped
hardwood fl oors after soccer practice.
Disorganization can completely mess up
your day — and your mood. As much as
we try to prevent life’s chaos, it worms its
way into our lives.
With so many external factors impact-
ing you every day, your log or timber home
should be the one place where you have
control. But if the elements of calm aren’t
considered in the early stages of planning
and designing your house, there’s a pretty
good chance pandemonium could infi l-
trate, stealing the Zen from your soul.
There are two easy ways to combat
chaos in your log or timber home’s design:
through practical means (think storage and
drop zones) and aesthetics (e.g., natural
light and outdoor rooms). Creating a
stress-free abode comes down to serious
contemplation about how you live day to
day, and then making smart, thoughtful
design choices based on that information.
With that in mind, we’ve compiled
10 ideas that may not always keep the
maddening world at bay but will at least
provide a refuge from the noise.
