Good Vibrations
October 11, 2010
Consider good vibes, as well as clean air and water, as much of a priority in the home as great style. You can make simple adjustments, such as exerting and eating right, to feel and look better. Likewise, small changes to the home, from the colors you choose to the water you drink, can make a big difference. Think about the home in a whole – and – healthier way. In our quest for well being, our homes become places for restoration and rejuvenation.
Mind, Body, and Spirit
Color can have a profound effect on our emotional health. Bright, warm tones energize; soft, cool shades provide calm and balance. Also, our attitude towards particular rooms can influence well being. In bedrooms, clutter and televisions can make true rest and relaxation difficult. Instead, the bedrooms and bathrooms should be sanctuaries – free of things that remind us of responsibilities – and full of comforting textures and soothing scents. Consider other areas of the home, too; for example, innovative dishwashers and garage doors with silencing technology reduce household noise.
Purification
Clean air and water in the home will go a long way toward promoting a healthy family. Air and water purifiers – from small, at the source methods to whole home systems – are designed to fit any space or need. Some indoor plants actually clean the air by neutralizing toxins.
Environment
A healthy home is achieved by considering the whole environment. Energy – and water-efficient appliances are great for conserving natural resources and reducing utility bills – and providing peace of mind. Renewable flooring options, such as bamboo, cork and some hardwoods, offer sensible style while preserving resources.
