Home Wellness Upgrades
When you think of wellness, does your living space come to mind? Today, people are taking wellness beyond diet and exercise and into their homes. So, if you want to improve your quality of life, you might be interested in these wellness-focused ideas.
This style of design uses natural elements to boost your mood, increase your productivity, and influence your mental well-being.
Here are 5 pleasing ways to get started...
1. Let The Light In
The sun’s light can elevate your mood and promote alertness. Take advantage of daylight by arranging work spaces near windows, using light-filtering curtains, or strategically hanging mirrors to reflect more light. Natural light can recenter your sleep cycle and promote vitamin D production — two keys to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
2. Promote Air Circulation
Proper air circulation provides a regular temperature, removes impurities that create that 'stale' feeling, and prevents mould. For better air quality, use ceiling fans, open the windows, install attic vents, and use air purifiers. The more space there is in a room, the more air can circulate.
3. Add More Plants
Being close to nature can improve your overall well-being. Plants add colour to your home, purify the air, and may even reduce stress. Bring the outside in by adding plants to every room in your home, especially the spaces where you spend the most time.
4. Design a 'Calming Space'
Life can get hectic at times. Create a private sanctuary that’s free of distractions, like clutter and electronic devices - a peaceful retreat to read, meditate, or listen to music. You could include a cozy chair, blankets, a bookshelf, and headphones. Dedicate time to this space so you can calm your mind, gain a fresh perspective, and reflect on your day.
5. Organization Systems
Too much clutter can make it harder to find things, and it adds stress to your life. Try installing smart organization systems throughout your home in cabinets, closets, or anywhere else you might need them.
