Wellness Design Trends

Well, Well, Well…

Health and well-being are topics on everyone’s minds. Wellness-oriented spaces in home spaces are being used much more than just for relaxation and pampering. Designers are creating spaces that deliver not only an aesthetic level but an environment to help alter moods and assist rejuvenation.

With people facing more time in their residences recently, these wellness design trends can have a great impact on their overall well-being. Let’s look at some popular wellness trends homeowners are asking for.

Enhanced Outdoor Living Spaces

With people looking to stay away from crowded areas, private outdoor spaces have been on the rise. Outdoor designs are shifting their focus away from aesthetics and space layout to well-being and experience-driven environments for the entire family and guests who visit.

Part of this trend is enhancing the outdoor cooking and entertaining capacity. It’s not just about cooking those burgers and hot dogs anymore. Homeowners are creating full holiday meals outdoors with smokers, rotisseries, and flat top grills. So many of today’s outdoor appliances offer a great range of cooking flexibility. Eating outside also feels good, the meals taste better, entertaining is less stressful, and there’s a certain intimacy.

Light as Therapy

Advances in lighting technology have made lighting a necessary therapeutic tool. Homeowners are understandably interested in therapies that can help them recover from stress. Light therapy usually uses LED light, which has been incorporated into showerheads, taps, and cabinetry. It’s supposed to help boost and improve immune systems and have many other health properties for the skin.

Holistic Living Spaces

Having a holistic space means having a home that serves multiple purposes in a seamless well-functioning manner. Homeowners are looking for homes that check all the boxes when it comes to having a well-balanced life. This includes homes with office set-ups, indoor and outdoor spaces, comfort, style, and outdoor living features. Spaces that are dedicated to exercise, meditation, and overall wellness are most likely going to become more common.

Inspired by Nature

Having an all-natural look is very important to homeowners. The trends have been for materials, styles, and looks to be more organic and natural. For example, you’ll find more wood and recycled materials such as wood hoods and cabinetry with natural wood grain.

Open floors plans are still popular, and expanding on that idea, homeowners want more windows and doors in the kitchen space.
