Check out our recommendations to get rid of stress and improve your physical and mental health!

1. Proper home lighting
It is known that insufficient or poor lighting causes strain on the eyes and mind, and can also cause migraines and psychophysical malaise. One of the latest trends in lighting is natural light, a technology capable of carrying the sun's rays into the home. How is that possible? This task is realized thanks to special tubular roof windows that capture light from the roof and are able to carry and distribute it indoors, which minimizes the use of artificial light and, accordingly, energy consumption.

2. Improved sleep quality
Did you know that using electronic devices before going to bed affects its quality? Scientific research conducted at the University of Oxford has demonstrated that electromagnetic waves emitted by television and computers alter metabolism and can disrupt sleep. It is also not recommended to use smartphones and tablets before bedtime, because the blue light emitted by them changes the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone.

3. Focus on environmentally friendly materials
To equip your home in an environmentally friendly way, the first thing to do is to choose furniture from environmentally friendly materials. Any ideas? Wood, stone and marble, in addition to being non-toxic, are an ideal solution for lovers of urban style; however, it is important to find out the origin of the materials by choosing only those that come from environmentally friendly sources that are tested responsibly. For furniture and interior items, you should choose natural materials, such as straw, cork and bamboo, guaranteed to contain low levels of benzene, harmful to the skin and respiratory tract.

4. Choosing the right shades
Take advantage of color solutions to improve your daily well-being: how to do it? Following the principles of chromotherapy! The energy properties of yellow and red are ideal for use in painting the walls of some rooms, such as the kitchen and living room, while cooler and calmer shades are ideal for bedrooms. In turn, the green color will help in concentration and study. If you're afraid that a colored wall will tire you out over time, try to spice things up by choosing the appropriate colored pieces of furniture and accessories.

5. Living in a clean environment
Did you know that your mattress can contain an average of more than two million dust mites? Carpets, pillows and sofas are known to be a source of reproduction of ticks and allergens, which are the main cause of allergies and respiratory diseases. Take one hour a week to brush your tissues: Ultra Vortex is ideal for allergy sufferers. With its special UV lamp, you can sterilize mattresses, pillows and upholstered furniture, thereby preventing the appearance of dermatitis, asthma and allergies.

6. Creating Your Own Green Corner
House plants aren't just a matter of decoration, as evidenced by a NASA study that found that having certain types of plants in different areas of the home has benefits for both health and mood; all this is possible thanks to chlorophyll photosynthesis, which purifies the air with the release of oxygen and the absorption of pollutants. Which plants are better suited for the home? Lavender with its soothing properties, aloe, which guarantees very clean air, and ivy, which has a powerful bactericidal potential.

7. Get rid of unnecessary things
Many studies show that living in an orderly environment is beneficial not only for physical but also for psychological health. The benefits aren't limited to just the home order: freeing up space in the home also means setting aside time and space for yourself, surrounding yourself with things that are really important and of value to you, and avoiding accumulating all that is useless.
