How to Design Homes That Boost Our Well-Being |

Constructing a new home that will embody the personal space that you retreat to after a long day should focus on features that promote tranquility and happiness. Try to designate at least one room as a zen space where you are free from all electronics. This can help you unwind from the over stimulation that we face on a routine basis while tackling our responsibilities. Also be sure to incorporate plenty of natural sunlight as neuroscience supports how important this is to increased happiness.

Key Points:

There are an array of neuroscientist studies that deal with how buildings affect our state of mind and thus our mental health.
A home that is free of many obvious digital distraction promotes interaction with family members.
Open plan style homes that connect areas where people gather, such as kitchens and back yards, are useful.

“People are overworked and overstimulated because there are a lot of things happening in this fast-paced society. We’re feeding the body and brain more information than it can actively process. It has a significant impact on our well-being.”
