The saying “messy bed, messy head” extends far beyond keeping your bedroom tidy – the state of your living room, kitchen and office can also impact your mental health. By doing a deep clean of your home or redecorating your space with a few new items, you’ll feel more productive and less stressed.
To help you with all of your interior design endeavours, Home of Cozy provides useful resources and honest reviews of online furniture stores. The comfort-obsessed team knows that there are few things worse than ordering a couch that hurts to sit on.
“If the past two years have taught us anything, it’s that the home is much more than somewhere to lay your head at the end of the day,” shares Jenna Salter, writer at Home of Cozy. “You should be designing spaces that cater to your needs and what’s good for your physical and mental well-being.”
Before dropping dollars on fresh home décor and modern furniture, be sure to check out these three tips on promoting wellness through interior design.
Organize your kitchen in a way that encourages healthy eating
Because the winter months are so dark and dreary, it’s easy to fall into the habit of ordering delivery instead of cooking a nutritious meal. But with warmer weather around the corner, now is the time to get into a healthier routine.
Investing in appliances and cookware that will support your journey to better health is always a great idea. Perhaps purchasing a fancy juicer, slow cooker or blender will provide you with the motivation needed to delete the four food delivery apps from your phone.
Displaying healthy food where you can constantly see it is another wise tactic. This means using clear glass containers to store nuts and dried fruit as well as having open shelving systems.
Declutter your office space
There’s been a drastic increase in the amount of Canadians working remotely, which means that an organized and functional home office has become a necessity. Furniture like standing desks, yoga balls and ergonomic chairs can improve your posture while you work.
Plus, adding a shelving unit or cabinet with drawers can keep all of your home office supplies in one place, creating a clutter-free work environment.
Turn your bedroom into the optimal environment for sleep
Falling asleep at night can be difficult if you are spending more time in your home than usual. Adding blackout curtains, a white noise machine and upgrading your mattress can create a more suitable sleeping environment. A brand new duvet and sheet set can also work wonders when it comes to improving the quality of rest that you get each night.
Oftentimes, temperature can impact one’s sleep. If your bedroom is too hot or too cold, purchasing a small heater or portable fan can easily solve the problem.
