But what does holistic design in home construction mean?
What is Holistic Design?
Holistic design is an approach that considers the home as a whole entity. It’s not just about the physical structure – it’s about the energy and ambiance it creates. Holistic designers consider not only the building aspects of remodeling and renovation, but the psychological, physical, and spiritual effects it will have on the home’s occupants. A holistic design approach promotes harmony and balance for the occupants, creating a positive experience in your home.
Why is Holistic Design Important in Home Construction?
Let’s be frank; for many people, remodeling a home instantly brings feelings of stress. You could be worrying about budget, the difficulty of finding all the contractors you need, staying within budget, and, in the end, feeling happy with the final result of your home.
Our design-build approach not only makes the entire remodeling process more efficient, but holistic design ensures that you’ll have a result that you’re happy with and be able to enjoy for years to come.
Aspects of Holistic Design
As you begin designing your home, consider the following aspects of holistic design. Pick and choose what will work best for your budget, aesthetic, and personal preferences so you can get a more positive energy as your end result.
Natural Materials
When incorporating holistic design into your home, try to use natural materials like wood and stone. Not only are they attractive and timeless as an aesthetic, they can help create a calming and grounding atmosphere.
Consider the Layout
The layout of your home can significantly impact the energy flow. Open, spacious layouts are generally more conducive to positive energy flow. You might also consider incorporating aspects of Feng Shui when considering your layout. For example, put your desk in the commanding position, which is the spot in a room that’s furthest from the door and not in direct line of it, as that encourages a positive flow of energy to you.
Calming Colors
Color psychology can be a major aspect when choosing what color you want to use in a room, as studies show it can impact our mood and energy levels. While bold colors are fun and might suit your personality, for common spaces or work-focused spaces, use calming colors like blues and greens.
Natural Light
Natural light is critical to any room, as it can make a space more open and uplifting. Let in as much natural light as possible, whether through large windows, glass doors, or skylights. Natural light keeps a room from feeling oppressive or stifling and can also help if you suffer from seasonal mood disorders.
Holistic design can give you a dream home that provides you with an abundance of positive energy. When you’re planning your next home remodel, contact Sordan Construction to incorporate holistic design in the process.
