The health benefits of Spacious homes and natural light
4 min readBy Mr. Harshvardhan Tibrewala, Director at Roha Realty
We spend most of our time at home, where our environment significantly impacts our health and well-being. Our houses can provide immense delight as the preferred place for cooking, eating, entertaining, sleeping, and relaxing. Building a tranquil, restful, content, and confident home for you and your family can promote good health. You can also do this by developing your ties to your social circles and the larger community.
Studies have shown that even small changes in the home, like increasing the amount of open space or the amount of natural light, can significantly impact both physical and mental health.
A well-lit area inside your home also helps your family unwind by providing them with a zen-like atmosphere that promotes happiness and general mental wellness.
Forever Growth and Happiness
The size and design of your rooms significantly impact your health and well-being, affecting everything from how much exercise you get each day to the food you can cook for yourself in your kitchen. The ceiling height of a house itself might have an impact. According to studies, people are better at creative thinking and more involved in social interactions when in a home with higher ceilings.
Homes have to contain separate areas for various pursuits, including unique settings for cooking, conversing, playing, unwinding, and working. A healthy home will have more peace and quiet, allowing you a space for concentrated work, seclusion, meditation, reading, or other peaceful activities that encourage a stress-free existence.
We need interactions to feel joyful because we are social beings. You, your friends, and your family will feel more connected and benefit from this by spending more time together in spacious, breezy living rooms that offer exciting environments that allow for stress-free social engagement and play. Spacious, clutter-free kitchens and dining areas encourage healthy eating and family dinners. Regular family meals rather than time spent in front of the television foster stronger bonds, social skill development, better routines for kids, and the consumption of more nutritious foods.
Focusing on natural light
Natural light aids in regulating our “circadian cycles,” which supports sound sleeping habits. The benefits of having a regular sleeping schedule for our health are well known and include strengthening our immune systems to maintain a healthy weight. A well-regulated and normal circadian rhythm is linked to good mental health and well-being. Natural light has been demonstrated to shorten sick days and speed up long-term patients’ recoveries, even in workplaces and medical facilities.
Make a garden room or an esthetic orangery space
You can only have natural light in your home with windows and glazing. Large windows let in as much light as possible, allowing you to enjoy your home’s exterior views and the property’s surroundings. Well-being is enhanced by connecting to a nearby green community or external space.
You and your family can benefit from the combination of light and space in a translucent home area like an orangery or garden room. Your physical and mental health can be improved in an airy, spacious space with a lot of glazing.
Enough space for activities
We engage in numerous daily activities to enhance our sense of well-being. Your kids will have more room to play and develop in a large home. You can designate particular areas in your home where you can carry out tasks like reading, working, learning, and more. With all the amenities available in these flats, you can take the best care of your health.
Spacious homes translate to a healthier lifestyle
Do you take your health seriously? You can make room for yourself to work out in a large home. You can avoid worrying about going to the gym by keeping your equipment at home. A large house enables you to establish a calm space for yoga and meditation. A spacious home lets you focus on your health without worrying about finding a clutter-free space to work out.
The perfect balance of life & work
If you’re considering buying a new house for your family or other loved ones, choose one that is planned to provide the most incredible level of comfort and well-being. Larger homes help achieve these objectives since they provide many benefits, including personal areas, playrooms for children, a calm setting for meditation and yoga, and many others. A spacious home is a must if you want to live a happy and healthy life with your loved ones.
