Wellbeing at home

with Studio Jute

Our homes provide the backdrop to our lives, a space where we can truly be ourselves. We can become frustrated with our homes if they are not supporting our needs. Whether that’s on a practical level — for example, not enough functional storage — or on an emotional level when our home is not embodying our values. Our home should reflect and reinforce who we are and who we would like to become.

1. Make the most of natural light

The virtues of natural light are well documented. Try placing your desk, or a comfortable chair, near a window to boost your creativity and energy levels. Consider how light moves across your space throughout the day and carefully position mirrors to maximise the effect.

2. Engage the senses

Materials introduce a tactile element; they can be used to tell a story within a scheme. Rich velvets lend a sumptuous, cocooning feel; while sheer linens remind us of carefree, breezy summer days.

3. Add Colour

Colour plays a huge role in our perception of a space. Adding uplifting, stimulating colours such as blue tones can increase productivity, while greens create a sense of balance and harmony. Think about the mood you want to create

4. Curate your space

Create the space to facilitate change. Would you like to entertain more, or spend less time tidying and more time relaxing or enjoying hobbies? Carving within your home that functions well will support and encourage new routines.

5. Surround yourself with happy memories

Whether you are drinking from a glass picked up on your last family holiday, or looking at a beautifully framed picture of your children whilst you work, these small connections to our values have a positive impact on our wellbeing.
