Most people spend a significant portion of their time indoors, so it is crucial to consider the impact that design has upon your wellbeing. Whether we realise it or not, the space we live in can affect our daily mood and health. Here’s a few reasons why house design is so important:
- Space
Increased space in the home is proven to have a positive impact upon our mood. Whilst ease of movement helps us to carry out tasks and chores, sufficient space also allows people to make rooms unique. The ability to add personal touches to rooms, changing décor to suit individual style, transforms your house into a home.
- Light
The more natural light we have access to in the home, the better. Research has shown that visible light regulates the production of hormone melatonin, which helps to control our body clock and affects sleep patterns and digestion. Incorporating large window spaces, such as floor length windows, will make rooms feel bigger as well as making you feel happier.
- Function
Different rooms have different functions and this can help to promote social connectedness. Clever kitchen design can bring friends and family together whereas smaller spaces, like a study or personal gym/sauna, can provide havens of solitude and peace and quiet.
