In the hustle and bustle of today’s world, your home should be your sanctuary. The place you come home to after a long day should invoke feelings of peace and harmony. That’s why I’m excited to share some of my favorite tips with you on to make your home a haven!

Incorporate Natural Elements: Bring the outside in with greenery, sustainable materials and outside natural light. Consider adding in a few indoor plants to help with air quality and purify the air. Update your flooring to something eco-friendly such as reclaimed wood or bamboo. It will help with minimize exposure to toxins (found in carpet) and improve your air quality. Maximize natural light by strategically placing skylights or windows to bathe your home with sunlight, which can boost mood and energy levels.

Mindful Spaces: An essential part of creating a wellness retreat in your home is to dedicate a space for relaxation, mindfulness and meditation. It doesn’t have to be big, consider creating a cozy nook with soft lighting and comfortable seating where you can unwind. Maybe throw in some floor cushions, a diffuser or candle and some good books. Some of my favorite non-toxic beeswax candles are Natural Sloth, Rowe Casa Organics, Primally Pure .

Outdoor Living: Now that you’ve got your inside all cozy, don’t forget about the outdoors! Design a garden oasis with herbs, native plants, fragrant flowers or a water feature to enhance the tranquility. Create a cozy patio or deck with fun string lights, comfortable seating, durable rugs and maybe some outdoor speakers. You can also incorporate outdoor dining and cooking areas to enjoy your meals under the stars!

By incorporating natural elements, mindful spaces, outdoor living areas, and wellness-focused design trends, you can transform your home into a wellness retreat. Don’t forget to personalize your space to reflect your own lifestyle and wellness goals, and enjoy the journey of creating your dream home as the ultimate sanctuary.
