Design Your Space to Stimulate The Senses
Wellness is a multi-sensory experience that involves both body and mind. Consider the many ways your senses can be stimulated, such as investing in whole-house air and water filtration systems, selecting hardwood flooring over carpet; as they're easier to clean and don't trap pollutants, maximizing natural light and selecting smart, color temperature adjustable lights which can help improve energy, mood, and productivity.
Give a Nod to Nature in Your Design
Never underestimate the power of nature and how it soothes the body and mind. Natural materials are perfect for wellness-inspired homes. Opt for natural selections like wood, stone, natural textiles, and organic patterns.
Incorporate greenery & plants, as they are pleasant and calming to look at and help remove toxins and germs from the air.
We're just scratching the surface here, as there are so many ways to incorporate wellness-inspired design throughout your home. Let's explore more together...
