When do you feel your best? Most of the population would say it was when they were on vacation. Chances are you were staying at a luxurious resort or vacation home surrounded by rooms and spaces that invigorated as well as relaxed you, stunning views, and world class amenities that you wish you had at home. Your stress dissipated, you recharged.

After years of sacrifice, building families and companies don’t you deserve a sanctuary that makes you feel that way every day? Exceptional custom design that focuses on wellness, relaxation and health will make the next chapter of your life the best.

When you walk into a healthy home, you feel it. From the moment you enter, your stress begins to dissipate. You can feel the difference in the air. This is because healthy homes are designed and built with your well-being in mind. Every aspect of the space serves a purpose – whether it’s to encourage connectivity and togetherness or to promote stress release and relaxation. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how to create a healthy home that serves you and your family!

There are many factors to consider when designing a healthy home. One of the most important is feng shui. Feng shui is the ancient Chinese art of placement and design. It’s based on the belief that our environment has a profound impact on our health, happiness, and prosperity. When applied to the home, feng shui principles can help create a space that is healthy, harmonious, and prosperous.

There are five elements of feng shui – wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Each element has its own energy and associated colors. To create a healthy home using feng shui principles, you’ll want to incorporate all five elements into your design. You can do this by incorporating natural materials, using bright colors, and adding plants and water features.

Another important factor to consider when creating a healthy home is ergonomics. This is the study of how people interact with their environment. When designing your home, you’ll want to create a space that is comfortable and functional. This means incorporating furniture and appliances that are the right size for your space and easy to use. You’ll also want to make sure there’s plenty of natural light and adequate ventilation.

Designing a healthy home is important for many reasons. A healthy home environment can lead to a decrease in stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also improve sleep quality, concentration, and productivity. Creating a healthy home doesn’t have to be difficult – there are many small changes you can make that will have a big impact!

So, what are some of the ways you can create a healthy home? Here are a few tips:

Tips for a Healthy home

  • Let in natural light: Natural light is essential for our health and wellbeing. It helps improve our mood, boosts our energy levels, and promotes healthy sleep patterns. If you’re not getting enough natural light in your home, consider adding skylights or opening up curtains and blinds during the day.
  • Add plants: Plants are a great way to purify the air in your home and add a touch of nature. They can also help reduce stress and anxiety.
  • Incorporate healthy materials: Use healthy materials such as bamboo, wool, cotton, and linen in your home. These materials are natural, non-toxic, and durable.
  • Create dedicated spaces: Dedicated spaces for relaxation, exercise, and work can help you stay healthy and productive.

By considering these factors, you can create a healthy home that serves you and your family! If your current home limits you from being able to experience wellness on a daily basis we can help.

Life has so many stressors that it is important to find ways to mitigate it. A good home design will help reduce stress and improve physical and mental health. Using custom design that focuses on wellness, relaxation and health is an excellent foundation for a balanced lifestyle.
