Healthy home, healthy you. Have you ever thought about how your home supports your wellbeing? From clean lines, calming tones and oxygen-boosting indoor plants, homes are now exploding with wellness opportunities that provide us with the same level of self-care that our mind and body practices do. Here are some tips on how you can give your personal space the attention it deserves and transform it into a retreat from the chaotic world, a sanctuary that hosts your treasured possessions.
Prime your kitchen to inspire healthy eating
Visual triggers play an integral role in a kitchen. An excellent kitchen design is great to inspire new meals and serves as a constant reminder to eat well and live a healthy life. Keep your pantry stocked with fresh produce and fill your kitchen countertop with colour matching fresh flowers or plants and bright fruits to inspire you to eat well. These little things help make your kitchen a place that you want to spend more time in.
Transform your bathroom into a space for healing
The bathroom has the greatest potential to deliver us that most sensory of experiences, being an enclosed space where you spend time alone either at the end of a day or at the start of a long one. So give your bathroom a mini-makeover with soothing shades complemented by the elegance of the natural stone. All that’s left to do is run a bath, light a candle and soak away the tiredness.
Create an empowering space just for you
You don’t need a home gym to make room for wellness in your home. All you need is a private space with enough space for simple fitness routines, yoga, or meditation. Find a place in your home and make just yours to account for your physical and mental health. Even a decluttered corner of a room is all you need to create a wellness space. Choose a spot with plenty of natural light or find an area with a little view of nature. Ensure that there’s enough room for you to easily move and stretch in any direction.
Broaden your green lifestyle decisions that promote sustainable living
A sustainable and healthy living focuses on your wider lifestyle choices around your physical and mental wellbeing, including greener lifestyle decisions. Choosing sustainably made products for your home transformation, especially those inspired by nature features, can positively impact your wellbeing. Active and passive contact with nature provides psychological, emotional and social benefits.
A good example of sustainable materials for the home is the Cosentino Silestone Sunlit Days collection. Manufactured with the sustainable HybriQ+ technology, Cosentino Silestone Sunlit Days is the first carbon-neutral collection in the quartz surfaces and engineered stone industry designed to decrease harmful gas emissions.
It comes in beautiful shades inspired by the Mediterranean and its connection with nature. The Sunlit Days is a journey through light and colour, with a fresh style and Mediterranean tones, inspired by human values and simple and profound ways of living. Deck your home with any of these nature-inspired, sustainably made surfaces to support your wellbeing goals.
