Healthier spaces for a healthier YOU!

Whether a person is recovering from an illness or injury, or just trying to cope with the nuances of everyday life, the surrounding environment can have a profound impact (positively or negatively).  Color, space planning, furniture, hardware/accessory choices & placement, paint, flooring and textiles can all affect a patient's health & the health of their caregiver(s).  Applying Integrative Lifestyle Design principles can make a difference to those facing challenges such as ADD/ADHD, stress, anxiety, headaches, fatigue, allergies, asthma and visual impairment.

***These same principles can be applied to the physician office, clinic & to treatment rooms!***

Did you know:

• Paint colors can affect sleep, heart rate, blood pressure and concentration?

• Indoor environments can have levels of pollutants that are 3x higher than levels found outside?

 

• Indoor Air Quality can impact the health, comfort, well-being and productivity of the building's occupants?

• Odors and chemical vapors from cleaning supplies, paint, carpeting, paneling and furniture are emitted as gasses called volatile organic compounds (VOC)?  (The VOCs in paint can off-gas up to 18 months and capeting can off-gas up to 5 years after installation!).

• Proper space planning can help those with ADD/ADHD and make spaces comfortable, safe and accessible for all, regardless of age, height or ability?
