More than ever, we now require our homes to<br />
be a sanctuary - a primate haven where the cares<br />
and pressures of the world do not intrude. The<br />
home should be an enveloping, warm and creative<br />
environment where family members of all ages feel<br />
relaxed and safe.<br />
The longer you live in your home, the more likely<br />
you are to feel in sync with it.<br />
As the seasons come and go you’ll have got to<br />
know which rooms are sunny and which ones need<br />
brightening.<br />
You’ll have noted areas prone to damp. You’ll have<br />
observed where different family members like to<br />
spend their time and why.<br />
You might have come to the conclusion that major<br />
changes are required to make your home as healthy<br />
as possible, or perhaps you’ve concluded that a few<br />
simple tweaks will do the trick.<br />
MATERIALS<br />
The ‘make-do-and-mend’ culture that has grown<br />
during the recession places emphasis on the<br />
SHOWROOM / OFFICE:<br />

Ravenswood, Woodend<br />
Opening 30th May <strong>2020</strong>!<br />
A happy healthy home<br />
satisfaction that can be found in incorporating<br />
natural materials with vintage items. Pieces<br />
of driftwood, collections of shells, that lovely<br />
moss-covered garden bench or a ‘cleverly’ revived<br />
piece of furniture all have their place in the healthy<br />
home and its surroundings. This trend steers away<br />
from plastics and synthetic materials.<br />
HEATING AND VENTILATION<br />
A home needs to be cool in summer, with plenty of<br />
natural ventilation, and warm in winter. Traditional<br />
open fires are being phased out and home owners<br />
are discovering the joys of installing modern wood<br />
burners, using gas for heating or installing a heat<br />
pump. All these options are healthy - technology has<br />
come a long way and most choices will see you saving<br />
money in the long run.<br />
STORAGE<br />
While a minimalist style might be fine for single<br />
people or couples without kids, when the patter of tiny<br />
feet comes along, good storage is going to be vital at<br />

every stage of a child’s<br />
life - be they babies<br />
or teens - they come<br />
with clutter. The more<br />
you can contain that<br />
clutter the better in<br />
terms of both your<br />
mental health and<br />
general safety.<br />
There are any number of options available, from<br />
professionally designed cupboards and wardrobes, to<br />
the simple lidded plastic boxes you can buy at chain<br />
stores. While some people claim they thrive in a messy<br />
environment. I know from experience that a lovely,<br />
orderly home is good for the soul.<br />
COLOUR<br />
Choosing the right colours for your home can make<br />
a big difference. Small, dark rooms can be opened up<br />
and made brighter simply by choosing the right paint.
