How To Design Your Home To Improve Your Wellbeing

Wellness is at the heart of everything. Whether you are trying to eat better or perfect your sleep routine, the effects that your home has on your wellness should always be considered. Is your home always cluttered? Do the lights in your home keep you awake? Designing a home that is optimised for wellness is not always easy, but there are steps to follow to achieve this design.

In this blog post, we will share just a few of our top tips on designing your home to optimise wellness. Some suggestions may require a quick tweak, but if your home needs more than a few new cushion sets, consider a full strip out to create a home you love and one that makes you feel your best. Take a look at the following suggestions:

Make space for creativity

First things first, how much space is available? Does your home feel suffocating with the minimal space? Perhaps you may have overcompensated on furniture and accessories in the past which has consumed the space you have free. An open home reflects an open and clear headspace. Declutter your space where possible, get rid of items that add no value and minimise furniture sizes if possible. For example, if you have a bookshelf that consumes the wall space next to your TV setup, why not compromise and swap this for an integrated bookshelf/TV stand? This will allow you to have the necessary storage, whilst making space in the room. Also, if you have accent furniture taking up space in the room, give it to a new home. Once you have made the space for a minimalist set-up, drape the floors with soft rugs for the feeling of comfort a wellness-optimised home needs.

Skip the bedroom television

Watching a movie in bed might be comforting, but are you aware of how much blue light may be affecting your health? The blue light that is emitted from phones and televisions is thought to damage retina cells with excessive use, whilst also disrupting your circadian rhythm. Having a TV in the bedroom will leave you vulnerable to disrupted sleep which should be avoided. For your bedroom design, invest your money into complete comfort and sleep optimisation. Soft furnishings, decorative cushion covers and a soft headboard are all things that will facilitate a good night’s sleep. If you must watch something in the bedroom, keep an eye pad handy, but skip the television to make the room sleep-focused.

Use ambient lighting in the bedroom

Speaking of sleep optimization, you need to make sure the lighting in the bedroom is not only beautiful but also dim enough to help you relax and unwind. Adjust your lighting fixtures and consider implementing a dimming setting for your main lights. Or, have a couple of decorative lamps by the bedside that have dimming features to reduce their brightness. Limiting your exposure to light before bed will help you sleep much better and leave you feeling refreshed for the day to … Read More..

4 Ideas for Furnishing Your New Home

4 Ideas for Furnishing Your New Home

Lighting

Lighting can be altered to fit any atmosphere mood or occasion, different rooms would require different amounts of light for example, bright kitchens and bathrooms for sanitary reasons and so it looks clean.

On the other hand, I would recommend, living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms to have dimmer switches, therefore you can alter the lighting depending on the atmosphere. The light would be dimmer in the evening to replicate a cosy and intimate mood and the dining room would be bright for lunch and breakfast hours.

But you can also add some colour to rooms with luxury bar stools, sofas and other accessories, natural light can come from all kinds of places!

Wallpaper

You need to choose your wallpaper carefully to match your house. This all depends on the atmosphere you are trying to portray, for bedrooms or dining rooms a dark opulence can look nice with dark wood and a golden light, it can make you feel relaxed, intimate and romantic.

If your afraid of it looking too dark then you could pick a light metallic wallpaper or patterned wallpaper as a feature wall with a light main colour and if you use a particular room such as your kitchen for day to day activities then bright walls and maybe a feature wall often looks nice. Try not to play it safe with all white, it can often look clinical, keep it colourful.

Also think practicality especially with children wipeable wallpaper or the use of tiles is super efficient but also effective.

 

Curtains and Runners

Colourful curtains and patterned runners can really help revamp a plain room, if you want to keep the room minimalistic and whenever you fancy a change it’s cheap and easy to change the curtains and runners. Much cheaper than re-decorating the whole room.

 

Oversized Art

Oversized art can come in all shapes and sizes, all of which are very different and can be suited to match designer furniture. I would aim to put the art at eye-level so people can see it when they are sitting.

Oversized art can be found everywhere including charity shops, therefore it doesn’t have to cost you lots of money to be effective, it can really add character to a room.

 

Personal touches.

To finish off furnishing your home, as well as using some original furniture, add pictures of family or friends around the rooms so it seems more like a home than a showroom. Don’t just copy pictures off the internet, see if you can add some of your own personal touches and what you like to make it seem more cosy and realistic.… Read More..

4 Ways You Can Pull Off Bohemian Decor

4 Ways You Can Pull Off Bohemian Decor

Boho or bohemian decor is for those people who want their homes to be full of culture, life and interest. This aesthetic comes with the ability to laugh in the face of modern decor sensibilities and instead embraces relaxation and the unusual. Whilst boho rooms tend to use certain similarities in the way that they share features are almost always eclectic, no two rooms are ever the same. If you are looking at implementing a style in your home which you can make your own, then the bohemian style of decor may well be for you.

 

Bohemian Colours

There are certainly no rules when it comes to boho decor, but warm, earthy colours are the most common, as are jewel and metallic tones. Think greens, deep browns and grey for the base colours and oranges, saturated purples and bright blues for accessories. The combination of colours is what makes this style truly unique. Feel free to mix textures and patterns you wouldn’t usually and don’t be afraid to use styles which wouldn’t usually go together.

 

Decorative Materials

Very much the opposite of modern and sleek, bohemian decor tends to embrace the “more is more” approach. The key when it comes to using decorative materials in a bohemian room is to not be afraid of mixing and matching. Using natural and basic materials, such as sisal and burlap can be matched with more extravagant materials such as chenille and silk. The materials can always have a slightly worn look, but not damaged and not shiny and new. Fringe,  macramé and crochet curtains, pillows and throws, when combined, make a cosy and boho-inspired space.

 

Bohemian Furniture

Usually, you wouldn’t be able to find bohemian furniture in a store. Boho rooms tend to have furniture pieces in which have been collected over a period of time and don’t usually match, so vintage and second-hand pieces are the perfect fit. Each piece of furniture should have its own story, so enjoy taking time exploring local vintage and second-hand stores for your furniture pieces.

 

Both you and your guest should be enveloped in the boho vibe, so creating a welcoming atmosphere is crucial. As a bohemian room should have a “stay awhile” feel, you should create a great seating arrangement – streamlined and straight-backed chairs don’t really fit in with this vibe. Choose comfortable and unique styles and pieces, such as butterfly chairs, wicker furniture, chaise lounges and cane chairs.

 

Lighting Choices

Understated and ambient lighting will not only unify your bohemian room, but also complete the welcoming and calm feel you want to achieve. Rather than using overhead light fixtures, use candles, lanterns and lamps to make it more cost and welcoming. Designs today make it far easier to find a variety of styles and shapes, making it perfect for creating the mix and match look… Read More..
