“Home is the place where you feel safe, it’s the place where I am most known and most loved.” This phrase captures the essence of what it means to have a home. In a Decor Wellness, the concept of home goes beyond design rules – it is where you find refuge, where every detail has been carefully considered to reflect who you are and what you value.
There is nowhere better than home.
THE WELLNESS home… MORE than just DESIGN
What truly sets a Wellness Home apart from a traditional house? In a traditional house, design often follows predefined patterns, with each space filled with expected elements. But a Wellness Home is unique, focused on the people who live in it. Why is it the home of the future? Because today, many people have houses but don’t feel at home. The Wellness Home goes beyond aesthetics; it’s about creating a space that resonates with the essence of the residents—a place where they can truly feel at home.
Here, the design is oriented towards individual and family well-being.
I remember a consultation I did in Brazil, where a client asked for help in transforming her house into a Wellness space. When I asked her, “What do you want to feel in your home?” I realized it was a question she had never considered. The Wellness Home is born from this reflection—it’s about how you want to feel and how every element in your home can contribute to that feeling. Nature, humanity, and technology blend harmoniously to create an environment that balances these three pillars intentionally.
LIVING with INTENTION and PEACE
A Wellness Home is characterized by intentional design. As you enter, you begin to see and experience your journey. Each piece, each object, tells a story. The objects are not chosen simply to make a statement, but to tell the story of those who live there. This is what makes well-being-oriented design so special—it goes beyond following trends or rules and instead focuses on choosing items that mean something to you, items that bring you happiness, inspiration, or contentment.
When creating your Wellness Home, it’s essential to revisit the pieces you already own. Look again at the unique items you’ve collected over the years. Is there a story or memory associated with them? These small details resonate with us for a reason—they connect us to our past and personal journey. This is what makes a home truly loved: a place that looks and feels distinct because it looks and feels like you.
THE sacred IN everyday LIFE
How can we treat each day as sacred and turn daily activities into connection rituals? In Sri Lanka, for example, life is lived with an awareness of impermanence, where each daily action is seen as an offering. This philosophy is central to the Wellness Home—it brings back the value of the present moment and a deep connection with each daily activity. The home becomes a place of peace and coziness.
My daily rituals reflect this vision. In the morning, I wash my face with cold water, a small gesture that helps me be present and connect with myself. I drink warm water, play with my dog in the garden, and give thanks for the new day. These quiet moments are essential for my well-being, helping to keep my mind and body in balance.
Why Natural Materials Matter in a Wellness HomeWHY natural MATERIALS MATTER in a WELLNESS HOME.
In a Wellness Home, connection with nature is essential. The use of natural materials like wood and cotton is one of the pillars of this concept. These materials bring a sense of grounding and comfort that synthetic materials often lack. Lighting also plays a crucial role, mimicking the natural cycle of the day to promote a harmonious environment that aligns with the body’s circadian rhythms.
Connecting with the Earth is essential to living with peace in everyday life. The choice of natural materials, such as wood and cotton, forms a key pillar of this concept. These materials provide a grounding and comfort that synthetic alternatives cannot match. Lighting plays an equally vital role, replicating the natural day-and-night cycle to foster an environment in harmony with the body’s rhythms.
TECHNOLOGGY – AN ally for well-being
In a Wellness Home, technology is not an obstacle; it is an ally. When integrated with care and intention, technology enhances comfort and well-being. From smart lighting systems that follow the natural daily cycle to devices that promote silence and tranquility, technology can be a powerful tool in creating an environment that supports your overall wellness.
LIFE with INTENTION – slow LIVING in a WELLNESS HOME
Slow living is at the heart of the Wellness Home philosophy. Rather than getting caught up in design comparisons, the focus is on simplicity—choosing what you love for your home. We can easily get bogged down by design rules and comparisons, forgetting the simplicity of choosing items that bring us joy. Every choice should reflect your story, values, and journey. It’s not about adhering to a strict style—it’s about telling your story. This is what gives life and soul to a Wellness Home.
