How to Design Your Ideal Home to Highlight Health & Wellness

Over the last two years, our homes have been our health haven. We have spent plenty of time thinking about our homes and how they promote and protect our family’s health. Of course, we all approach this differently, but there are ways that we can consistently and efficiently foster health in our homes.

Today, I’m sharing 3 ways to design your home to cultivate health, wellness, and a sense of belonging. Take a look…  

1. Be Inspired by Nature

The most soothing thing for humans is nature. It is a constant quest to bring as much of the outdoors into our homes without it feeling cluttered or dirty. When you mimic nature, our natural homeostasis is rest, and we actually relax. 

To bring nature into your home, bring in nature's colors. A soothing paint palette can ease the mind. Think of your favorite relaxing places, such as spas and retreat centers. The best ones have a calming, nature-inspired palette. 

2. Create a Home with Functional Design

It is not always easy to achieve wellness. That's why we have designers! Designers can help make sure a nature-inspired home complements your routine. A house designed to function with you in mind will allow you to have a stress-free and joyful experience. 

3. Sensory Design Must-Haves

Wellness is a delicate balance of stimulating senses. For example, your eye is intrigued by color, but with a gentle harmony so as not to overwhelm you. Calming things like soft fabric textures aid in this sensory treat. Natural textiles aid in the touch experience, and when it's something that feels soft, like nature, it relaxes you.

This is just the tip of the iceberg regarding what biophilic design can do to increase your relaxation and comfort in your home. Hiring a designer can help you create a whole plan for your entire home to be an oasis of natural products that benefit your mental state while being good for the planet.
