Create Ways to Promote Wellness in Home Design

Have you been paying more attention to your physical and mental health this year?

Did you know home design can affect your mental health?

Designing for wellness at home means creating spaces that promote good physical and mental health. Incorporating everything from improved air quality to using textures, materials, colors, shapes, and even furniture layouts can ease anxiety and make you feel more relaxed and productive.

Experts at Houzz recommend the following small, doable adjustments:

•  Get rid of tripping hazards: Especially as we age, eliminating fall hazards while undergoing the kitchen and bath remodeling process is crucial! Some of the biggest tripping hazards are rugs, cords, and items that get left out like bags and shoes. Consider a design that has a place to store everything, and choose materials that minimize the chances of an at-home injury, especially in the bathrooms. 
• Set up the kitchen for healthy meal prep: Design your kitchen to promote preparation of healthy foods! An uncluttered and hygienic space that functions well for meal prep is essential. Make everything in the pantry easy to access, and consider open shelves rather than closed cabinets so you can easily see ingredients.

Building a Natural Connection through Home Design

Whether we’re at home or at the spa, we all want a better connection to nature! Using natural elements in your home design and architecture can help you feel more grounded and anxiety-free.

The major focus in designing wellness spaces is creating a place that’s aesthetically pleasing to the eye and the body!

Consider these design elements:

• Add plants (even fake ones) for a lush, calming feeling
• Use wood elements like cabinets, or wood finishes
• Bring the outside in by using deep greens and blues in your color schemes
