The “weather” at home is quite important in our life!
The weather forecast for USA
It has long been known that one feels good in some house, whereas in the other the feelings are quite worse. Today, thanks to the combined efforts of medics, psychologists, ecologists and designers, this inexplicable phenomenon is unraveled.
With properly organized space one can not only make the home harmonious and comfortable, but also give the interior healing properties. This will require strictly following the rules of the “healthy home”.
Tip 1: Only environmentally friendly materials
Try to track the environmental cleanliness of your house even during the construction and repair. To the most preferred material belong everything that takes us back to “the caves”: wood, straw, unburnt clay … Next in the list of environmentally friendly materials are clay brick and natural stones of sedimentary origin. The first fruits of civilization – the metal and glass – have not so flawless reputation.
And for everything else – concrete mixture, plastics and other “chemistry” – you have to “render” through various tricks. Do not intend to “dress” your home according to the last progress achievements: more prestigious is to equip it with the true gifts of nature. The recent Moscow exhibition of stone Stonebuild proved once again that natural materials, as they say, rule. And some trimming stones, according to their miners, do have the healing effect. For example, in Tavush region of Armenia, there is mined a unique stone of the color of bright turquoise (Blue Sevan), which locals have long been used as medicine, drawing it on water.
Tip 2: doctor named Flora
Many housewives like growing flowers, but not everyone knows that, of houseplants one can create the medicinal “cocktail”, just like of the medicinal herbs. So, the plants containing volatile production have the disinfecting effect: basil, hypiestes Pyla, snake’s-beard, cardamom, roytsissus, spathiphyllum, etc. Other pot plants soothe the nervous system, relieve headaches and normalize blood flow (for example, the all known geraniums and scented pelargonium, lavender and monstera) – one can make an ideal composition for the bedroom.
Tip 3: Healing Stuff
The principle is the same: to be natural and once again to be natural. Prefer baskets to plastic containers, real feather pillows to polyester ones, simple “peasant” fabrics (linen, cotton cloth, sacking, coarse wool) to spectacular novelties, wattled mats to metal jalousies, etc. Natural things are not only healthier for the body, but also have a special energy (especially if they are made by hand or in a small studio). Do not neglect the local market of wood, basketry and pottery. Do not look down on “things from my grandmother’s trunk”: retro things from the family museum can fill the house with warmth and comfort. The only natural “gifts”, which should still be avoided, are the hunting trophies: skins and horns of dead animals, stuffed animals, etc. Despite the beauty of their view, aura, which they “emanate”, is not very useful for people.
Tip 4: creative atmosphere
The positive influence on mental health has a home creativity, as well as its results, embedded in the interior. Embroider by hand pillowcases or towels, draw paints or painting batiks, make candles and bouquets of dried flowers, have furniture and lampshades turned, paint the wooden dolls … The admirers of more “serious” hobby can be engaged in fine art photography, wood carving, stone processing.
Tip 5: Do no harm!
There are a number of things that are better to be avoided, if you want your home to be comfortable. These include: complex architectural shapes, sharp angles, dark, cold and too bright colors, abundance of small and colorful details, too many mirrors, straight, sharply directed light (especially in the bedroom), and insufficient lighting. Do not place paintings in the interior, photographs and posters with the violent and aggressive subjects, with distorted images or other “anomalies”, even if they have artistic value. Make sure the items, used to decorate the apartment, to have positive energy (do not buy used religious objects, such as African masks and idols, shaman tambourines, etc.). In short, keep in mind: to make the home bring the joy and health, it must be natural, warm and kind!
