How to design a home that boosts wellbeing?




In today's hectic world, our homes have become sanctuaries. As an interior designer, I understand the profound impact that our living spaces can have on our wellbeing. From the ergonomics, material finishes to the colour palette, every design element plays a crucial role in shaping our mood.


Embrace Natural Light: From regulating sleep patterns to enhancing productivity, the benefits of exposure to natural light cannot be underestimated. Layering window treatments are a fantastic option in the UK where we need the cosiness and warmth during the winter months but also privacy and sun filtering options in the summertime. Additionally, layering introduces depth to your windows, enhancing visual appeal and enriching the overall design concept of a room.


Minimise Clutter: Embrace storage solutions such as built-in cabinets, shelving units and baskets to organise your belongings and maintain a sense of order. A piece of bespoke joinery will utilise a space’s full potential. Go handless in a gloss or matte finish for a contemporary feel or shaker style in natural wood or hand painted for a more traditional look.


Prioritise Comfort: Invest in high-quality, tactile furnishings such as sumptuous sofas, cozy throws and soft rugs that invite you to unwind and recharge.


Plants and Living Walls: The quickest and most effective way to inject a sense of vitality and freshness into indoor spaces, soften the harsh lines of architecture and bring a touch of nature indoors is to populate your home in plants. This connection to the natural world has been shown to reduce stress, boost mood and increase productivity and creativity. Living walls, in particular, serve as works of art, adding visual interest and texture to walls whilst purifying the air and filtering out harmful pollutants.


Designing a home that promotes wellbeing is about more than just aesthetics; it's about creating spaces that nourish the mind, body, and soul.
