Celebrate “Self-Care Spring” in Your New Tradition Home

May 7, 2020

There’s nothing like the sounds of self-care. From the water running in your spa-like soaking tub, to your new kitchen appliances working perfectly, to the warm breeze on your spacious patio, your beautiful New Tradition home is specifically designed to make you feel your best every day. 

This spring, make sure to put your happiness and well-being at the top of your to-do list! Whether you’re trying out a new recipe or a new yoga pose, a new hobby or a new movie, there are so many ways to pamper yourself and feel relaxed. Take a look at how to celebrate “self-care spring” in your New Tradition home.


Self Care Tips for Spring

Get Cookin’: With brand new appliances, beautiful cabinetry and fixtures, and of course, a large center island, it’s so easy to reignite (or discover!) your love of cooking. Treat yourself to restaurant-style cocktails and hors d'oeuvres spread out on the island, and take pride in cooking the dishes you’ve always been meaning to make.

Enjoy the Morning: If your morning coffee routine is one of the simple joys of your day, cozy up on your porch or patio and let the spring sunlight wash over you as you sip and relax. There’s no better way to recharge than with a little “me time,” so give yourself as long as you need to savor every last drop! 

Hit the Lights: Your spacious great room is the perfect place to sit back, relax, and dive into a movie or TV marathon. Put together a cheese board, a candy tray, a dessert bar, or whatever snack you love to indulge in, and hit the lights! We recommend enjoying with plenty of blankets, pillows, and of course, fuzzy slippers.

Rec Time: If your home comes with a rec room, think about what you can turn it into this spring! Have you been wanting to try new workouts? Create a personalized at-home gym. Want a space to work on your art projects? Your rec room makes the perfect art studio. Whatever you want, it’s your time to make it happen. 

Get Pampered: Who says you have to go to a spa to feel pampered from head to toe? In your stylish and contemporary master bathroom, treat yourself to your favorite self-care rituals and products: candles and aromatherapy, hot baths, face and hair masks, pumice stones, soothing music, and everything else you love.

Sleep Well: Nothing says self-care quite like a restful night’s sleep. In your first-floor master bedroom, you have enough room to create the space that makes you feel as relaxed as possible. Design a cozy reading nook, add soothing, air-purifying plants, hang new artwork, and try floor lamps for a warm, cozy glow.

Feel the Breeze: Whether on your beautiful porch or patio, there’s no better way to enjoy spring than by being outside. Take some time to yourself to forget everything on your schedule, and lean back with a cold drink and a good book. Let the breeze wash over you as you take it all in… this is your time to relax.
