One of the most powerful elements of space design may that be your office or home, it is the opportunity to impact and improve the health and well-being of people and over all making a difference.
Most of the times it is not only your inner self which has an influence on your mood but your space as well has a major impact. The colour of the wall, natural light, indoor plants, fresh air, furniture and comfort.
Here are some of our top strategies to be taken care for our wellbeing,
- Colour:
They are a major part of our lives, but they also affect our way of living. They can make us happy, sad, angry or melancholic. Just think about babies in a maternity, boys receive blue coloured clothing and girl have the pink colour. When we see red, we think about something danger or hot, green means healthy, yellow is related to bright and energy and so on. So colours do play a significant role in our lives.
So before you choose your paint, furniture colour, décor colours please analyse on what keeps you happy and energetic and try adding that colour more in your life and space.
- Air:
Maintaining the best air quality inside the home or office is very important to stay healthy and active. The interior design style you choose for your home will also play an important role in indoor air quality.
Because your home will be comprises of indoor air pollution materials which you can’t remove from your home, which can include pollutants from adhesives, upholstered furniture, flooring, paints and cleaning products. Each of these can emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde, which can trigger allergies, asthma, and other symptoms as they vaporise into the surrounding air.
To keep your indoor air fresh choose a right quality of paint, decorate your interior with plants, add proper ventilation
- Light:
Lighting is an important aspect of interior design as it enhances the aesthetic appeal and creates the mood and ambiance of a living space. Lighting fixtures that illuminate the area creates a safe and comfortable environment besides adding style to the interior décor. Light is the main element that gives the space a special look and transforms it into a seamless combination of functionality and style. Besides playing a functional role it creates a visually dynamic space. Lighting can make or break the ambiance of a room. Hence proper lighting is an important element of decorating your homes.
Do ensure there is ample lighting throughout your living space. Depending on the amount of natural light available include light options into the designs that blend well with the theme of your space.
Enough light is very important and as much as possible utilise the natural light.
- Comfort:
Your décor is about more than just style and function – it should also focus on comfort and how it makes you feel. Select furniture (such as sit-stand desks) that enables occupants to be more active during the day and offers an alternative to prolonged sitting.
Key aspects to be kept in mind while choosing a furniture would be the comfort, size and luxury.
Designing your home can be a simple process. All you need is simple but important ingredients. No, it is not designer labels, it is definitely not heavy on your pocket. It is as simple as having the right amount of creativity, and the openness to ideas. We often tend to think that only those who have been to designer schools can have good taste. True but not entirely, the biggest misconception is that every designer follows a rule book and creative book to learn from. That is not true. There is no specific rule that one follows or a do’s and don’t law against designing.
