Hello World! Welcome Friends! No matter what interior design style you adopt, you’ll want to ensure your home is as healthy as possible. We tend to assume that our homes are safe havens, but this isn’t always the case. If you want to ensure you and your family are enjoying optimal wellbeing, take a look at these five ways to make your home healthier:
1. Choose Layered Lighting
Lighting is an essential part of your décor and there’s nothing cozier than low lighting when you’re relaxing, watching a movie or listening to music. However, working or studying in low lighting can lead to eye strain, headaches or neck pain. By using layered lighting in your home, you can adjust the illumination according to what you’re doing and ensure you always have sufficient lighting. What’s more – layered lighting can be used to achieve a fantastic aesthetic!
2. Keep Air Fresh
Opening windows regularly will help to keep your home ventilated but it isn’t usually enough to maintain optimal air quality. Instead, you can use a range of in-built HVAC systems, humidifier or dehumidifiers and air purifiers to remove contaminants from the hair, achieve appropriate humidity levels and maintain a comfortable temperature.
However, you will need to ensure that you replace filters regularly. A new humidifier filter will keep the appliance working to maximum capacity, for example, and increase its efficacy. Air quality has on a massive impact on allergies and respiratory conditions, like asthma, so it’s well worth making it a top priority in your home.
3. Check for Mold
Unfortunately, a significant number of properties are affected by mold growth, even if homeowners aren’t aware of it. If mold appears, be sure to take action swiftly to stop it from spreading. However, it’s important to check for mold in hidden areas too, such as behind furniture. Mold is usually caused by damp, so you’ll want to resolve the underlying issue, as well as removing the mold, to keep your home healthy.
4. Declutter Regularly
If your home is filled with clutter, you’ll find it harder to remove dust and other air contaminants. What’s more – cluttered surfaces don’t promote a relaxing and tranquil environment. Begin by decluttering one room at a time, discarding or donating items you no longer need or want. Then, allocate five or 10-minutes per day to decluttering. As well as enjoying a more comforting environment, you’ll accentuate your carefully chosen décor too.
5. Use Blackout Blinds
Good quality sleep is essential for your wellbeing, but light pollution can affect your body clock and limit the amount of rest you get. With blackout blinds or curtains, you can create a cozy bedroom which promotes sleep and enhances your health.
Make Wellbeing a Top Priority
When you incorporate healthy changes at home, you can boost your energy, reduce allergies and feel calmer. By doing so, you’ll have peace of mind that your family’s wellbeing is being enhanced by your home environment. What’s more – making changes to your home is a great reason to embrace a new design trend or update your décor!
