​Improving our living spaces is an important and worthwhile act of self-care. You don’t need to break the bank to improve your home; there are many simple ways to make changes. To design a home that improves your wellness, consider the following ideas.
 
1 . Keep It Green
 
Creating an earth-friendly home is a fantastic way to enhance your well-being. There are lots of ways that you can design a greener home, such as:
 
  • Solar power: Instead of choosing a conventional energy service consider using solar power for your home. Renewable energy solutions are also useful to save money.
  • Composting: Instead of throwing out your food waste, start a compost pile, and use it to improve the soil in your garden. Composting can help you to reduce the amount of waste that you send to landfill.
  • Use green cleaners: Instead of using conventional cleaning products for your house, try out earth-friendly products, which are made of plant-based ingredients.




2. Improve Your Garden
 
Gardening is a fantastic hobby to help you de-stress, improve your well-being, and grow some healthy and nutritious foods. When you put effort into gardening, you’ll improve the quality of your outdoor space and achieve a sustainable lifestyle. There are a few applications that can be helpful to learn more about gardening.
 
  • Smart Plant: This application is perfect for those who want to develop their gardening skills. You can use the app to get tips, banish pests, and identify a wide range of plants.
  • Veggie Garden Planner: Using this app, you can learn how to make a perfect vegetable patch with plenty of advice on sowing times, neighboring plants, and more.
 
3. No More Clutter
 
When our homes are cluttered, we tend to feel less comfortable and more stressed. Many people don’t even realize that clutter affects their mood (until they have a nice clear out)! Tackle one room at a time and separate your items into different categories. These categories might include ‘keep’ ‘sell’, ‘throw out’ and ‘charity store.’ To sell your unwanted items, you can use the following tools:
 
  • Letgo: Using the Letgo marketplace, you can sell your old stuff in a wide variety of categories. A few of the categories include electronics, homeware, video games, and even cars.
  • Nextdoor: With the Nextdoor app, you can connect with local sellers whether you’re looking to sell old clothes or furniture items, Nextdoor can help you to find a new home for your old clutter!
 
4 . The Natural World
 
Designing a home that improves your wellness doesn’t have to be complicated. One of the easiest things you can do is to pick out a nice selection of house plants for each of your rooms. House plants can help cleanse the air of harsh chemicals and toxins, plus they make great natural decorations. Anthurium plants are a great choice for the bedroom; they can boost oxygen and improve your sleep. Aloe Vera Plants are a great choice for the bathroom as these love humidity.
 
5 . Express Yourself 
 
To design a home that improves your wellness, you need to create a space that helps to feel positive, relaxed, and comfortable. One of the best ways to do this is to express your personality through your decor. There are many ways that you can achieve this, including:
 
  • Use memories: Decorate your home using your best memories, whether it’s your favorite photographs or displaying your achievements.
  • Color schemes: Choose color schemes that represent the atmosphere you are looking to create. Yellow is closely associated with positivity and creativity, while green is a soothing color that can help you to feel calm.
 
6. Deep Cleaning
 
When your home is lovely and clean you’ll feel healthier and more relaxed in your space. It can be a great idea to use green cleaners, as these are made from non-toxic ingredients. For more cleaning tips check out the following tools:
 
  • Our Home: The Our Home app is just ideal for those who want to help their kids learn about chores. With the app you can create a personalized list of chores, to get on top of all household tasks. You can assign different cleaning regimes to the members of your family, and everyone can check using their own device.
 
  • Tody: Tody is the perfect app for cleaning, with plenty of tips tricks, and features to help you get organized. The application doesn’t feature alarms or deadlines, but it does help you to take control of your cleaning routines. There are cleaning plans provided for each of your rooms, which you can customize as you wish.
 
7. Design Cozy Spaces
 
Feeling relaxed and peaceful at home is all about comfort. Designing cozy spaces is a great way to improve your well-being. For example, why not try designing a cozy reading corner? You can do this by purchasing an armchair, a footstool, and plenty of soft throws and cushions. Purchase a miniature bookshelf, and decorate the corner using fairy lights and cute artwork.
 
8. Plenty Of Relaxing Scents
 
Aromatherapy is an ancient wellness practice that has a variety of different health benefits. Using the right scents, you can feel more relaxed, boost your mood, or create a calming energy for your home. Some of the best candles for relaxation include jasmine, bergamot, peppermint, lavender, and rose. Candles are one of the easiest ways to create a relaxing home space.
 
9. Beautiful Artwork
 
With the right artwork, you’ll make your home a beautiful space in no time at all. When you’re choosing artwork for your home, it can be useful to create a budget beforehand and determine the style you are looking for. Consider the interior style of your home to determine which kind of artwork might fit in best. Whether you’re looking for photography, a sculpture, or a painting, Etsy Marketplace is a great place to find deals on artwork.
 
11. Use Air Purifiers
 
Air purifiers can help you to create a healthier home by removing toxins, chemicals, and allergens from the air. With the right healthy touches, you’ll stand to improve your wellness levels.
 
12. General Wellness Tips

Throughout the process of simple interior design, we can express our personalities, make our homes more comfortable, and even live a greener lifestyle.
