Years ago, the most you could do to have a healthy home was swap out a couple of cleaners and crack a window now and then. But today, you can do so much more. By making the right long-term design decisions, you can create a home that supports your current and future lifestyles. As design-build remodelers, we know that the difference between a healthy home and a frustrating one is huge. One empowers you to be your best self, while the other inhibits you. We’re passionate about healthy living, so we’re sharing the untold truth about designing a healthy home. Read on to discover what a healthy home really is and how to build one.
What Is a Healthy Home?
While clean air and water used to be the highlights of a healthy home, they’re the baseline now. The untold truth about today’s healthy home is that it:
- Prevents daily friction so you’re not bumping into things or wrestling heavy drawers
- Protects your energy with good lighting, smart layouts, natural materials, and more
- Improves over time rather than deteriorating or requiring constant attention
This kind of space elevates your lifestyle with smoother routines, reduced decision fatigue, and increased enjoyment overall.
What Does a Healthy Home Look Like?
The practical application of healthy home design produces spaces that care for you better than ever before. They are timeless and tailor-made for you and your family. A healthy home makes life easier in countless ways and adapts to your evolving circumstances.
The kitchen in a healthy home doesn’t have you zigzagging between the fridge and the prep area. Its unfussy materials cut clean-up time in half. And layers of task, ambient, and accent lighting spare you from straining your eyes or cooking in shadows.
The bathroom in a healthy home has gorgeous, slip-resistant floors. The lighting is smartly placed for makeup and midnight trips. And the storage is right where you need it, not tucked behind doors you forget exist.
How Can Your Home Improve Your Future?
A healthy home is there for you at every age and stage. Following the principles of universal design, a healthy home ages for you. It lets you live how you want for the rest of your life.
A home that promotes healthy aging in place offers more than just grab bars and wider doors. It preserves your independence with personalized modifications in every room. Aging in place renovations can include luxuries like custom closets, heated floors, stylish support systems, spa-like showers, and bespoke furnishings. Aging in place in a healthy home allows you to truly thrive.
