A Calming Home: Soft Living, Self-Care, and Calm Spaces
Main Content
hello
I'm Janice Ruste
Writer · Designer
I’m drawn to a quieter way of living...books, flowers, crafts, 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. I want my ordinary days to be filled with creativity, family, and care. I live in New Zealand with my small family. I love tending to my small garden, making things by hand, and writing my way through the seasons.
