You have just received the keys to your new home from Novisa Development, and now you face another significant challenge – renovating and finishing the apartment. This will be your oasis of peace, a safe space for the whole family, so even during the furnishing stage, it’s worth remembering a few principles that will make your home a better place.
Lately, overwhelmed and saturated by the onslaught of information coming at us from every direction, we have started to pay more attention to our mental health. We have a need to create a comfortable and safe space that supports our emotional well-being. Check out where to start and what to pay attention to when furnishing your apartment to simply live well!
Paint healthily
At the early stage of finishing your apartment, remember about important principles.
When choosing paint colors, keep in mind that shades found in nature have the most soothing and calming effect on us.
Beiges, browns, blues, and greens are colors that evoke a sense of tranquility, safety, and freshness in our surroundings – making us feel relaxed.
Pay special attention to the choice of paints.
Avoid those containing harmful compounds, such as formaldehyde.
Water-based paints, as opposed to solvent-based ones, emit significantly fewer volatile organic compounds, are less likely to have an unpleasant odor, and pose a much lower risk of causing allergies.
Hypoallergenic and antifungal paints are also available in the market.
Consider using them in areas with increased humidity, such as bathrooms or laundry rooms, and especially if you have more sensitive household members or small children.
Arrange, organize, conceal
Strive to avoid chaos in your home; let each item have its place and maintain order.
Items scattered in random places tend to grab attention and cause distractions.
Furthermore, wasting time searching for your e-book reader or massage roller can effectively discourage you from starting a healthy relaxation routine, ultimately leading to scrolling through news on your smartphone on the couch.
When planning to purchase furniture and accessories for the living room, office, or bedroom, ensure that you have sufficient storage space.
The fewer random items lying on your desk, bed, or nightstand, the more enjoyable it will be to use these pieces of furniture – you’ll be less distracted and more relaxed.
Our architects make every effort to ensure that apartment layouts are as functional as possible, providing numerous practical arrangement possibilities.
Breathe
Breathe deeply and healthily in your own home!
Ensure regular ventilation to avoid the accumulation of pollutants indoors.
If you’re a fan of curtains, wash them regularly.
Curtains, especially when the window is open, trap dust and pollutants coming from outside (especially if the window faces a busy street).
Prevent them from entering your living space.
Invest in an air purifier. The market offers a wide variety of devices with different designs that can seamlessly blend into any decor.
Plants serve not only as decoration but also as natural air purifiers.
Try to make space for a few plants on the windowsill, floor, or simply hang shelves or planters on the wall.
Maintain balance
If you work or study from home, whenever possible, designate a separate space for it.
If you have the option, avoid working in the kitchen and living room to minimize distractions from other household members and allow your mind to distinguish between a workspace and a relaxation space.
In our homes and apartments, there are additional rooms designed for offices or studies.
Place your desk by a window and work utilizing natural light; invest in ergonomic furniture to create an ideal working environment.
