Home is the place where you want to drop all your worries and relax, revive and rejuvenate. Whether you’re working from home or returning after a long day and a long commute, you look forward to an environment that cares for you. Creating this perfect and healthy living environment means getting everything right – from perfect lighting to noise reduction, neat, clean and well-organised living spaces, and even thinking about the quality of the air you breathe.
Optimising natural for a balanced mood
There is a connection between the circadian rhythm, or the body’s response to external cues like light and darkness. Your body is influenced by these cues – they affect hormones like melatonin and cortisol, which regulate temperature, digestion and alertness. Misalignment of the body’s 24-hour clock with the circadian rhythm can lead to obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Poor lighting can also lead to eye strain and lower your mood.
To optimise your home environment, understand how your home receives natural light, and balance this with the right kinds of artificial light. Use natural light as much as possible, with both sheer and blackout curtains. The sheer curtains let the light in during the day, and the blackout curtains keep the light out at night.
Minimising noise disturbances to create a relaxed space
If you live in a city, noise is a part of your life. But chronic exposure to noise pollution like construction activity or traffic can raise stress levels, come in the way of a good night’s sleep and reduce your productivity.
If you live in an area with a lot of noise, consider how to plan your interiors to reduce the sound. Some immediate fixes are to seal doors and windows to make them soundproof and move noisy appliances like washing machines to a separate space, like your balcony. You can also take actions that are artful yet practical, like using soft furnishings like rugs, curtains and cushions to absorb sound.
A well-organised space with healthy air quality
Often when creating or maintaining home living spaces, we pay attention to aesthetics, lighting and even sound, but we may completely ignore the importance of air quality. What’s the connection between a tidy and well-organised space and healthy air quality?
Keeping your living space tidy often offers emotional satisfaction and creates a sense of well-being. But indoor air pollution is also something you need to think about. Fine dust particles settle into furnishings, curtains, sofas, etc and keep circulating. In addition, day-to-day activities like cooking, cleaning solutions and air fresheners can contaminate the air with particles and harmful gases known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Pet dander, flower arrangements or contaminants from the environment outside also make their way inside. Your living space can become an unhealthy environment, with polluted indoor air being the cause of dry eyes, asthma, or respiratory disorders.
To improve air quality, a regular schedule of deep cleaning can help, including dusting, cleaning of sofas and soft furnishings.
Many people are turning to air purifiers to help manage air purity inside their homes. When external variables are difficult to control, an air purifier will do the job of removing allergens, dust and even germs or mould.
