Your home environment affects your mental health
Several factors affect our daily moods. The impact that interior design has on our mental health is an emerging conversation surrounding mental health and wellbeing. Majority of the population are living within cities and are not exposing themselves to the natural world
(Wells 2020). Architectures and designers are understanding the significance in producing homes that incorporate as many natural elements as possible. Adapting approaches to mental health is crucial in understanding the way our mind reacts to its environment. Including space within your home prompts a individual to be more active and boosts endorphins (Well 2020). Your home is a place of comfort and acts as a sanctuary. Designing a home to encourage a happier environment creates a healthier wellbeing.
