Interior Design Ideas: What is the Concept of Wellness?
INTERIOR DESIGN IDEAS: WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE CONCEPT OF WELLNESS WITHIN INTERIOR DESIGN
A profound change in recent years has been the shift within the interior design industry — and one of the most important, fastest-growing trends is wellness interior design.
Using evidence-based design: urban planners, architects and interior designers are creating environments with a focus on the impact they have on the health and well-being of the people that occupy the interior space. The wellness ethos can greatly impact our physical and mental health.
“Whether people are healthy or not, is determined by their circumstances and environment. To a large extent, factors such as where we live, the state of our environment, genetics, our income and education level, and our relationships with friends and family all have considerable impacts on health …
World Health Organisation: The determinants of health
On average, we spend an astonishing 93% of our lives indoors, and research evidence shows a correlation between occupant health and factors such as providing adequate natural light and views to nature, using colours that promote mental well-being, acoustics, air quality, furnishings, and more!
The benefits of access to nature have been documented in numerous studies and include reduced stress and illness, higher productivity at home and the workplace, higher test scores among students, positive social interactions and greater workplace satisfaction.
One of the most important elements of determining the atmosphere of interior spaces is through the use of colour. Colour has a strong link to psychological and physiological effects on your mood, mind and well-being. A colour scheme can encourage our behaviour-ever notice when you walk into a tore t make a purchase anything about the colour scheme, the mood, the scent in the air all leading to you making a connection with the store and ultimately making a purchase. The power of colour and psychology are well documented.
As human beings, we are our environment; and how we use colour within our interior space can greatly enhance interaction, learning, healing, creativity and more.
We are sure you will agree with such studies and statics highlighting the positive impacts of wellness and it being instrumental and fundamental to healthy living, we really do believe this is the future of Interior Design.
