How Our Mental as well as Physical Health and Wellbeing Can Be Affected by the Spaces We Live and Work In.

What is it that makes an interior a pleasure to live in, really interesting, individual and reflecting the personality and lifestyle of its occupant?

You may have the best, most excellent quality pieces of furniture and window treatments, the most complete ensemble for your space, and yet, when you look around, you feel like something is not quite right or something is missing. Where are all those personal posessions to give it life? Even in the most sterile, designer space, there is something that will catch your eye and make you think; that reflects the soul, the self, the individual who occupies it.

The ambience of our surroundings is truly created by the individual interior accents we choose to display. The more the interior accents in your home, office or other space reflect your passions in life; the interests, the travels and the personality, the more you will enjoy living in it, and the more its viewer will be able to gather about you when they enter your space.

It is human nature to reflect our personalities in the surroundings we inhabit. It is also very human to be interested in the spaces other?s occupy or have occupied. That is why we see homes turned into museums and individual rooms preserved as museum displays.

There is much philosophy in the effect of our surroundings and how they relate to our overall well-being. Can you see why penetentiaries have the ambiance we have seen in the media, photos or in documentaries featuring them? The mental health, the peace of mind and overall pleasure of life can be very strongly influenced by the surroundings we, not only live in, but also where we work. Think of the hours you spend in your work environment.

So, is there reason to be living with items that make you feel good, reflect your soul and, of course, also bring fond memories of people, places or experiences in your life, present and past? Creating a home, a sanctuary, where you can recharge, relax and reflect is healthy indeed. And whether you realize it or not that strongly affects, not only your mental but, your physical health as well.

Thank you for reading this blog.
