Wellbeing interior trends for your home

There are lots of ways we can adapt our homes to improve our living environments and make the most of what have - creating multifunctional spaces.

With many of us pledging to put an increased focus on our mental health and well-being, we thought it was an opportune time to explore some of the ways in which we can adapt our homes to create calmer, more flexible and more productive spaces.

 

At BoKlok, we have put together some wellbeing interior trends that you might want to consider implementing in your own home:

Indoor plants

Bring the garden in

Filling your home with an array of potted plants and herbs has become a popular wellbeing interior trend. The fresh scent of flowers and the aesthetic appearance of having some greenery in your home can be instantly uplifting. What’s more, plants can have health benefits too as they take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, acting as a natural air purifier.

Clean indoor air

In addition to incorporating indoor plants into your home, air purifiers can be a very effective way of improving the quality of the air that you and your family breath in.

With this in mind, IKEA has an air purifier that doubles up as a stylish side table to help remove dust particles, pollen and impurities at home. The STARKVIND can be set to auto mode, which means that it automatically detects the particles in the air and then adjusts the fan speed, so you can simply leave it to it!

Create a work out space

Whether you embraced the morning ‘PE lessons with Joe’ or you were one of the thousands of people scouring the internet for gym equipment during lockdown, the home gym seems here to stay. Having enjoyed the convenience (and the long-term cost savings) of being able to exercise at home, more people are expected to create themselves a home gym this year – giving you a convenient way to fit your fitness regime around daily life!

While some of us may be looking to invest in equipment and outbuildings, there are also some simple changes you can make at home to accommodate a dedicated space for exercise.

Take a look at some of IKEA’s tips for creating a personal home gym that blends in here.

Organic interiors

Using organic shapes and naturally-made materials is an effective way to bring an uplifting sense of nature inside the home. Incorporating woods, hemp, and stone products can help to bring the outside in – but this trend is also about the environmental impact of each product.

If you are looking for some ideas, then IKEA has a great collection of sustainable furniture and furnishings, ready to adorn your home.
