After the pandemic, generating wellness and ensuring health in the home has become a necessity that concerns everyone. Architects, interior designers, and even appliance brands are now making this issue a priority.

The reason is simple. The home is the epicenter of our activities, so ensuring its well-being is essential.

But where can you begin to optimize things to transform these good intentions into reality? This is certainly a dilemma that many will face.

Well, don’t worry if you don’t know where to start , because at LaCuisineInternational,  we have 4 simple tips that will help you to achieve this goal.

4 Steps and one destination: a healthy home

#1. Technology as an ally

As unbelievable as it may seem, technology is the first key to making the home radiate  the well-being we need. Choosing energy-efficient appliances will not only lower your energy bill,  but will also help you do your part to reduce your carbon footprint.

As if that wasn’t enough, smart appliances help you optimize your time and even the way you do your shopping. It’s a matter of knowing how to use those appliances (reading the instruction manuals carefully, of course) and taking full advantage of their capacity.

#2. Rediscover the sun and the wind

Yes, it’s true that nowadays being exposed to the sun when the ozone layer isn’t very dense is dangerous. However, taking advantage of its light in terms of architecture, housing health, and our body’s system is something else.

The sun’s radiation sets the biological rhythm. That is, it tells us when it’s time to go to sleep and when to  wake up, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that an important part of the history of architecture is directly influenced by the sun.

So, the recommendation here is to favor windows that provide natural lighting in the house. This will even serve to  fill the home with positive energy and help to change moods. (Read also 10 Trends in kitchen lighting).

But windows don’t just let in solar energy, as they provide natural ventilation to the spaces. The wind and the breeze fill the house  with refreshing air and the best part is that they do it for free.

#3. Say yes to natural materials

Materials extracted from nature and placed in our homes in their rawest form reduce the likelihood of interaction with chemicals that produce adverse effects on our health. What do we mean by this? We’ll  explain below.

A wooden chair or table is not the same if both elements have been treated with paint. Therefore, the idea is not only to value  cotton, glass, and linen over synthetics and plastics,  but to use them in their natural state.

Additionally, the idea behind it is to bring nature inside the house and generate green spaces in strategic areas to help purify the air and generate a relaxed home environment.

#4. A touch of ancestral wisdom

No matter how much science advances, there is ancestral knowledge that helps harmonize the energy of homes. Whether you rely on feng shui principles, Marie Kondo‘s guidelines, or simply your mother’s recommendations, one thing is clear: order and cleanliness make a difference.

Dispose of, recycle, organize, and clean are 4 verbs that all these techniques employ. So, don’t be afraid to use them, because even in  the worst-case scenario you’ll end up having an impeccable and healthy home.
