Design A Wellness Space For Yourself
Taking care of yourself can be difficult in a fast-paced world. Have I had enough water today? Should I go to the gym? Do I risk taking a nap, even though I need the sleep?
As people, we revisit these questions on a daily basis, often without creating a plan of action to help us in the future. What if there was a way to streamline your health and wellness, allowing you to maximize it to the fullest potential?
THE ANSWER: DESIGN A WELLNESS SPACE FOR YOUR HOME!
Think about it– the kitchen is created solely for cooking, bathroom for freshening up, living room for lounging and socializing. Why do we put our own priorities on the backburner?
Designing a wellness studio in your house is a great way to put yourself first. Creating a dedicated space for self-care and relaxation helps remind ourselves that we are human.
YOU DO deserve a break, YOU DO deserve some quiet time, YOU DO deserve a space that is functional, comfortable, and reflective of your personal style!
Let’s explore some tips and ideas for creating a wellness space in your home.
Location
You might be thinking– where or how am I going to create my own wellness space? The biggest way of doing so is designating a space for it. Sometimes, all you need is a quiet, private area that is away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the house.
Whether it be inside your home office, in your finished basement or part of an addition, claiming your space is the first step in achieving the wellness room of your dreams.
Aesthetic & Purpose
Wellness studios mean something different to each of us. A wellness space should be multi-purpose, combining specific aspects of our life to combat our lack thereof. How do you define wellness?
Think of things in your life that bring you a greater sense of peace– exercise, reading, art, music, writing– whatever it is, find ways to incorporate elements of each into a room that screams you. It’s important to figure out why you need a wellness area in your house and design to address those reasons.
Furniture
As a homeowner looking to design a wellness space, functionality should be at the forefront of your design. In order to truly work on your health and wellness, the room itself has to be able to work for you.
A 2022 survey conducted by the leading design and remodeling platform Houzz found that consumers are more interested in health and wellness than ever before. Up-and-coming trends include focuses on outdoor living with hot tubs on decks, spa amenities, and an exorbitant amount of self-betterment health products.
Houzz also reports an increase in incorporating nature connections into designs, also known as≥≥≥ biophilia which means “Love of Nature.” According to Barbuliannodesign.com, biophilic design focuses on creating a calming space with a visual connection with nature while improving wellbeing, health and productivity. Below are a few examples we like.
Tools & Accessories
As a designer, transforming a space into your dream oasis is the goal– however, homeowners need to take it upon themselves to invest in design products that they can be confident in showcasing, as well as using.
Whether you’re in the market for a new piece of workout equipment or you’re looking to enhance your space with some of the top wellness products out there, there’s no item that’s off the table when it comes to making the room your own.
Consider incorporating some of these items into your wellness space:
