A Calming Home: Soft Living, Self-Care, and Calm Spaces

hello
I'm Janice Ruste
Writer · Designer
I’m drawn to a quieter way of living — one shaped by books, flowers, handmade things, and the rituals of everyday home life. With a background in interior design and a deep love for writing, A Calming Home grew from my desire to create a life that feels gentle, intentional, and deeply lived — where creativity, family, and care are woven into the ordinary. I live in New Zealand with my family, tending to a small garden, making things by hand, and writing my way through the seasons.
