In the heart of Asheville, NC, a movement is taking root in the design of our living spaces, reflective of a broader lifestyle choice: slow living. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Asheville is at the forefront of incorporating these principles into interior remodeling, home additions, and aging-in-place renovations. This approach doesn’t just alter our physical space but profoundly impacts our daily lives, encouraging a richer, more mindful existence.
Embracing the Core Principles of Slow Living
Slow living champions a lifestyle that is conscious, intentional, and centered around what truly matters to each individual. It’s the antithesis of today’s fast-paced society, focused instead on mindfulness and the joy found in the present moment. When translated into home design, it means creating spaces that reflect your personal identity and values, evolve with you, and promote well-being.
Incorporating Slow Living into Your Remodel
Incorporating slow living into your home remodel or addition means more than selecting sustainable materials or energy-efficient appliances—though these are important aspects. It’s about creating spaces that align with your values, meet your practical needs, and express your unique style.
-
Create Calm Through Colour: Opt for a palette that evokes peace and serenity. Earthy colours, neutrals, and greens can transform your home into a tranquil retreat, echoing the natural beauty of Asheville’s surroundings.
-
Declutter and Simplify: A core aspect of slow living is reducing clutter to create a more peaceful and efficient living environment. Whether it’s a kitchen remodel or a bathroom renovation, consider how the space can be organized to serve your needs without excess.
-
Use Honest Materials: Materials that connect us to nature — wood, stone, linen— not only foster a sense of calm but are also sustainable choices that add character and longevity to your home.
-
Let in the Light: Natural lighting plays a crucial role in wellbeing. In your remodel, consider how windows, skylights, or lighter color palettes can optimize light, creating spaces that energize and uplift.
-
Spaces for Connection and Reflection: Designate areas in your home for relaxation and connection. A cozy reading nook or an open-plan kitchen that invites family gatherings can become the heart of a slow-lived home. For those considering accessible remodeling, incorporating wider doorways, step-free showers, and thoughtful layouts ensures that your home remains comfortable and functional for years to come.
