Incorporating wellness in home design requires careful consideration. Make the most of natural light and choose the best artificial lighting setup for designing a wellness space. You can also bring the outdoors inside whenever possible by maintaining systems for easy organization, allowing breaks from technology, and ensuring that all furniture is comfortable and functional are all crucial steps.

Ikigai
Ikigai, a sense of harmonious purpose, is believed to be the secret to a long and happy life in Japan. In the context of interior design, it involves surrounding yourself with objects that provide value and express one’s inner self. For instance, if you are happiest when preparing and cooking food, you can make your kitchen a place you enjoy spending time in. And if plants are your thing, surround yourself with them for happiness and contentment.
Cwtch
This Welsh word, which is pronounced “kutch” (as in “butch”) means “to cuddle”, and you can see evidence of cwtch in the trend for big, comfortable couches, throws, pillows, and fireplaces, all of which create a cozy, cuddly atmosphere that makes any person feel good. The concept of cwtch brings a sense of comfort and familiarity into your home. As designers look to the past for ideas, traditional and historical pieces are more important than ever. Some of the things you might find in the homes of cwtch-loving tastemakers include soft furniture, old decorative items, and couches with deep seats.
Lagom
Lagom, a Scandinavian design concept, is founded on the Swedish concept of “just right”. Lagom encourages living with simply what you need. Create a comfortable, friendly space for your family, but don’t go overboard and assume the items you buy are more important than time with family. Lagom includes decluttering and connecting with nature by bringing plants indoors or installing large windows. If this design style speaks to you, get in touch with your remodeler today for a detailed bathroom or kitchen estimate.
Niksen
Unplugging, daydreaming, and allowing oneself the opportunity to remain still, this Dutch discipline is essentially about doing nothing, and most crucially, without a goal. Design-wise, a niksen room incorporates a variety of home performance characteristics, including climate management, acoustics, lighting, and clean air techniques. The colors and furniture must be as calming and relaxing as possible. A daily dose of niksen will help you overcome daily pressures, and according to studies, it is only one approach to creating a happy home.
