Good design matters. It improves our mental, physical, and emotional health, mitigates the impacts of climate change, and brings us together. While you don’t have to incorporate every idea from these guidelines into your home, their impact is stronger when applied in concert.
The following guidelines are broken down by room and offer actionable ways to improve your health at home. You can find corresponding products for these guidelines in The Library. The Guidelines are based on scientific research and grounded in design theory, primarily biophilic design, neuroarchitecture and sensory design, active design, and salutogenic design.
Disclaimer: None of these strategies constitute medical advice or architectural advice. Seek professional medical advice for health concerns and architectural design services for renovations and construction projects.
