This festive season, usher in warm and positive vibes by doing up your home in a manner that not only looks good but also feels good.
It is that time of the year again when most of us are looking for unique and interesting ways to do up our homes. We are consulting experts, shortlisting reference images and checking out all that’s available in the market to decide the look and feel of our homes this festive season. While you are doing that, we suggest you don’t miss out on an important aspect – wellness. The role that décor plays in elevating your wellness quotient is often underestimated. Numerous studies and extensive research have consistently reaffirmed the benefits that we derive by virtue of being in aesthetic surroundings. Anita Lal, Founder and Creative Director, Good Earth, says, “Sustainable luxury is a term that is fast being adopted, thus creating an ecosystem to seed awareness about reviving our culture and traditions and creating a sense of wellness.”
PAINT BASICS
In keeping with tradition, most people like to paint their homes before the festivities begin. However, almost all paints contain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) that are emitted when these paints are applied on walls. These harmful compounds remain active for up to five years after you paint your walls, and lead to a number of health problems such as irritated skin, minor skin burns, headaches, dizziness and more.
