Home is the place where we spend a lot of time. Are you aware that our well-being and our good health are closely linked? So, we propose a list of necessary actions to do in order to feel well in your house..
Good ventilation
Surprisingly, outside air quality is better than indoor air quality, particularly for a poorly ventilated house. It is therefore recommended to open windows and doors regularly, and to allow air to circulate in order to remove germs. An airy interior is a healthy space!
Good lighting
Light, that’s life! A well-lit home allows its residents to be full of energy and vitality. If one of the rooms enjoys full sun all day long, even if it is not obvious for a long period of the year because of the heat, think about its benefits: ultraviolet allow synthesis of vitamin D, essential to remain healthy!
Good storage
A crowed house rhyme with a cluttered mind. It is essential and liberating to forecast the cleaning and the tidying of the house on a regular basis. It is not only the best way to optimize space and to lose nothing, but it also allows to get a clearer picture of your life and to unclutter the superfluous… literally and figuratively!
A good temperature to enjoy a great form
These are not the people of Curepipe that will contradict us: it’s difficult to maintain a high morale during colder evenings! So, take the necessary steps to insulate your house from air currents and enjoy a pleasant temperature – in winter, as well in summer. When it is too hot, think about creating air disturbances to ventilate the rooms and enjoy a suitable temperature into the bedroom.
A good insulation
Beware of humid houses located in the centre of the island: they are very dangerous for people with fragile health systems. Moisture will not only damage the house, but will cause respiratory diseases such as asthma or rhinitis. Once again, good insulation is the key and will avoid moisture-related problems, such as mold and fungi.
Colours
Did you know that colourful interior is an asset to feel good? However, don’t be excessive! Our tips:
- Warm colours (pink, yellow or orange) - cushions, curtains, etc. - in the dining room and the kitchen.
- Cool colours, such as blue that provides peace and harmony, or the green that gives a sense of balance in the bedrooms and bathrooms.
Perfume
Several studies have revealed that our health is influenced by odours, and contribute to the feeling in a house. Perfume your home! Scented candles, incense sticks or pots-pourris… Nowadays, we have a wide choice of products to perfume the interior. For perfume, lavender has a relaxing effect, while rosemary stimulate mentally.
Flowers
Flowers are more than just a treat for the eyes. They maintain vitality and absorb the negative vibes of stressed people. Give a touch of magic to your house with a bouquet of flowers!
