Over the past 18 months, feeling healthy (in general) but especially at home has become a massive priority for so many of us – and who can blame us? With lockdowns, the pandemic and working from home taking over our lives, it makes total sense.
A vital step to making your home a healthier place is bringing in some natural elements. Doing so will bring the toxicity levels down while at the same time spark up a friendly atmosphere. Here are a few things to do:
Toxicity can quickly build up in a house from hoarding or keeping things you no longer need. Take stock of what you don’t need by going through every room and all your possessions. Maybe it’s time to donate the clothes, old but usable furniture, books, and other objects you don’t need.
You don’t even need to worry about getting rid of the items because bespoke removals can easily take care of the items and even transport them to a donation point of your choice.
A makeover of your living space could help bring some fresh air into your home and improve your mood. Paint the walls a lighter shade, have more fresh air in and more natural light.
The kitchen is where you’ll probably spend the most time when in your home, so painting the walls or even just adding some new cupboards or appliances can be enough to freshen things up. Other rooms in your home should also get an upgrade if they need it, whether that’s repainting a room, replacing old furniture, or just reorganizing.
Nature can work wonders for a space by bringing serenity and peace through certain smells and textures. While your home is already full of objects that can provide comfort, natural elements like plants are more important.
They give life to the space, and evidence suggests having them around can even help with breathing problems. When having fresh flowers sent over every week seems too much work, stick to one or two large potted plants instead.
Leaks, mold, pests, and gas leaks are problems you can’t ignore because they can quickly affect your health. If you have mold or mildew around your home, find the cause and, if possible, check for leaks. When you discover pests, call pest control services to inspect your home and get rid of the problem. Gas leaks are dangerous, and the best way to deal with the issue is to switch off the supply and call a professional.
A clean home is not only healthy, but it’s welcoming. You can do things like decluttering and sprucing up the house on your own. Still, the professional cleaners will get rid of bacteria, allergens, and other toxins that might be in your home with their deep cleans.
Have the house professionally cleaned once or twice a year. Professionals will also be careful not to damage furniture or other items at your home while cleaning.
Your family’s health is a top priority-make the space where you spend most of the time healthy. It will encourage a healthy lifestyle, improve mood, and even prevent illnesses.
