Designers Focus on Happy and Healthy in Wellness-Inspired Interiors
In a year where health has dominated many of our lives and staying at home has been the norm, it’s not surprising that there has been an uptick in demand for home environments that imbue a sense of wellness and connection compared with how important healthy home environments were when life took us elsewhere.
From adding plants and outdoor elements to inside sanctuary spaces to reclaimed and recycled construction materials, this past year and the coronavirus pandemic that has tucked us all in at home has moved the needle on our relationship with home. With that has come a growing interest in conscious residential design decisions around health and wellness across the country and around the globe.
“It’s more important than ever to be intentional about creating an environment in our home that enhances the quality of life. After all, it’s where we are spending just about all of our time these days,” says April Jensen, Founder of ADJ Interiors, in St. Louis, MO.
Enhancing that quality of life means different things to different design clients, depending on the scope of project, region, budget and more. What designers agree on though is that health and wellness are and have been top of mind across the board, amplified by COVID-19.
