Hiring an interior designer to make your home look attractive is a start, but if you want to turn your home into a fully relaxing retreat, holistic interior design is the key.
The difference between normal interior design and holistic interior design lies in the focus.
'Interior design is about function and cosmetically pleasing spaces. Interior designers focus on space planning along with the area, which creates a visually pleasing design. Holistic interior designers, on the other hand, concentrate on the importance of physical and mental well-being,' says Monique McLintock of Monique McLintock Interiors.
Holistic interior designs come with a number of benefits, including alleviating fatigue, increasing productivity, brightening up your mood and improving your overall health.
According to McLintock, who is a holistic interior designer, studies have also shown these designs can make people feel more supported, happier and more connected with their environment and themselves.
People who are usually interested in this concept are parents wanting to create a stable and healing environment for their children, patients recovering from serious illness and caregivers who need a stress-free, comfortable environment.
The elements of holistic design include using colour therapeutics, natural elements, environmentally friendly paints and materials, and electromagnetic radiation. The aim is to create harmonious and eco-friendly homes.
