How to Feel Elegant at Home as a Homemaker -

Elegance is an integral part of femininity. It is described as ‘the quality of being graceful and attractive in appearance or manner.’ A lovely feature, fit for a homemaker. In this post I’m sharing how to feel elegant at home.

As women we have a natural desire to look elegant and classy every day. We’ve all been in disarray at one point or another, to be sure. But you don’t have to forgo elegance, even when tending to your children or home all day.

Feeling polished and refined as a homemaker is simpler than you may think. And will help to improve your self-confidence, well-being and the overall way you conduct yourself.

Maintain Good Hygiene

This is potentially the most important element to feeling graceful at home. When you maintain your hygiene and are well-groomed, you will exude an air of elegance in your overall appearance.

As we all know, cleanliness is an important part of our faith. Therefore we should have a great concern for it in our daily lives.

Be sure to have a basic, yet adequate routine for your hair, body, skincare and nails. It doesn’t need to be anything too complicated or time-consuming.

Dress Well

You may think it’s no use because you spend your days caring for kids, cooking, cleaning and everything in-between. But dressing well can make you feel more poised, so it’s worthwhile despite the stain (or two) your outfit may encounter.

Having a good wardrobe doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Especially if you keep it minimal with classic, versatile pieces.

As a homemaker, your home is the place for you to look elegant and dress beautifully.

Allah is Al-Jameel, He loves beauty. He has sent down beautiful things for us to adorn ourselves with. When you utilise what you’ve been given (in the correct manner) you’re showing appreciation for the blessings of Allah.

Elegant Loungewear

Loungewear with a hint of sophistication allows you to look put together while remaining comfortable. Make the switch from your well worn, mismatched clothes to some stylish pieces.

Long dresses and skirts are a simple way to appear effortlessly feminine and elegant.

You can also opt for matching sets or monochrome looks in neutral colours. Including a timeless pattern such as black and white stripes, adds an extra touch of style to your wardrobe.

Choose high-quality fabrics such as cotton, linen and silk (satin is an affordable alternative), that feel soft and comfortable on the skin.

Minimalist Accessories

Accessorising thoughtfully with some delicate gold or silver jewellery will elevate your overall look. Choose subtle pieces such as small hoops, a rectangle watch or dainty bracelet.

It’s important not to overdo it so you’re able to maintain a casual look with a hint of glamour.

Stylish Footwear

Putting on some nice footwear can complete the look.

Place your worn-out slippers aside and opt for some stylish ones instead. You could even go for some comfortable house shoes such as ballet flats or sliders.

Tidy Hair

The condition of one’s hair certainly matters in order to look elegant at home. You could be wearing the classiest outfit, but if your hair is a mess it will bring down your overall appearance.

Even if your hair isn’t freshly washed, you can still style it simply with a low bun, braid or clip. You only need a few basic hair accessories such as silk scrunchies, claw clips or headbands to make styling and caring for your hair easier.

Touch of Fragrance

Being fresh and clean is one thing, smelling extra nice is another.

Whether you love fresh floral scents, creamy vanilla or a woody oud—perfume is a sure way to make almost anyone feel more classy at home.

If perfume isn’t your preference, you can go for a more subtle scent by using a nice smelling hand cream, or body lotion.

Disclaimer: It is not permissible for a woman to leave her home whilst perfumed. There are many narrations from the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alyahi wa salam) forbidding it.

Luxury Dinnerware

Using beautiful plates and cups can make you feel like you’re dining at a high-class cafe. This is a small way to bring some some joy to your afternoon cup of tea.

Clean and Refined Space

As your surroundings impact your mood it’s essential to maintain a clean and refined environment. Minimise clutter (visual and hidden) and only keep the things that serve you well.

Include some cosy textiles like throw pillows and blankets. And add soft lighting for a warm and inviting atmosphere.
