Wellness At Home: The Latest Interior Design Trend
There’s never been as much focus on health and wellness as there is today. In fact, there’s so much focus placed on wellness that more and more people are attempting to introduce it into their own homes. Here are four ways you can create a healthy home that promotes mental well-being.
Be at one with nature
Nature and natural materials have been proven to increase mood and mental well-being, so it seems a no-brainer to introduce both into your home if you want a wellness-improving home. Fortunately, there are many ways you can do this whilst also improving the aesthetic appearance of your home.
Houseplants are the easiest way to bring nature to you. They’ll also help to purify the air in your home which should create a more relaxing environment. Introducing furniture made from natural materials is also a good way to introduce nature as it’s very on-trend.
You may also want to explore ways to maximise the amount of natural light in your home. This might be things as simple as opening curtains and blinds more frequently or strategically placing windows and mirrors to increase light flowing into your home.
Increased exposure to natural light can impact vitamin D levels, stress levels and eyesight. It’s also worth considering the benefits on the energy efficiency of our homes.
Creating a sleep sanctuary
Sleep is one of the most important activities for our body, but it appears that we’re only just starting to realise and accept this. For years, the hustle approach stressed the importance of hard work, early mornings and late evenings.
But now, even the hardest-working entrepreneurs are appreciating the impact of a good night’s sleep. Benefits include improved focus and attention the following day as well as better physical health.
Strategies for creating a bedroom that promotes a better quality of sleep focus on creating a welcoming environment. This could be through regular cleaning and tidying, adding decorative cushions and regulating the temperature throughout the night.
Technology-free homes
Technology is developing at an alarming rate, and it could be argued that we rely too much on modern technology in our lives today. As average screen time increases more and more and reliance on technology does too, there needs to be more consideration given to the impact that this is having on our physical and mental health.
Lifestyles are becoming increasingly sedentary due to technology but the majority of homeowners are still trying to create smart homes. Despite this, there is a small minority going in the opposite direction, instead opting to reduce the amount of technology inside their home.
This can have various benefits including increasing the amount of steps taken in a day and reducing the time we spend staring at digital screens.
Spa-like bathrooms
Health and wellness is well and truly on the rise. In younger generations particularly, there seems to be a preference to opt for spa retreats over booze-fulled weekends. This has kickstarted an interior design trend of homeowners trying to bring the spa to them.
This includes a tendency to opt for a more minimalist approach with luxurious materials such as marble finishes. There’s also a preference for dark colour palettes to be used throughout bathrooms to create a modern, chic look similar to what you’d find in a high-end spa.
Other techniques to create a spa-like bathroom include having his-and-hers vanity units, decorative towels and some natural greenery to improve air quality.
