In many homes, there is no concept of a wellness corner. But, in today’s fast-paced life, we all need space that ensures a moment of peace. It’s not feasible every time to escape to a wellness resort or a vacation for relaxation, thus, having a wellness corner in home is important. Wellness corner is not about using fancy and expensive stuff or having a large space; it’s about making a space that brings relief and a sense of calmness. In conversation with HT Lifestyle, Rohana Sarah, founder and CEO of Green World Design, shared tips and hacks for creating wellness corners at home.

1. Choose the space

There is no substitute for morning light, and there is no better medicine than nature. Thus, it is recommended to choose a corner that has access to natural morning light. Rohana recommends opting for east-facing edges or areas with diffused daylight. You can use sheer curtains as well to soften the glare.

2. Use plants

Bringing nature inside is the best way to upgrade your wellness corner. You can bring snake plant, rubber plant, areca palm, and more to amp up your wellness corner. If there is no space for keeping planters, you can try the vertical gardening concept to make the space lively. You can bring succulents as well. They are low maintenance and look aesthetic.

3. Utilise natural materials

While creating a wellness corner, make sure to leverage natural materials. You can use natural stone, wood, and breathable fabrics, as these help settle the space without adding visual noise.

4. Add seating

Comfortable and movable seating should be your choice for the wellness corner. It allows the space to adapt throughout the day. Rather than opting for heavy furniture, go with lightweight and functional ones. Also, keep the upholstery light and use breathable fabrics.

5. Place elements wisely

While setting up your wellness corner, don’t forget to bring in peace through candles, incense sticks, diffusers, and elements that speak to your personality and bring peace. You can place essential oil, books, and a writing pad for a calming vibe. Don’t overboard the space with lots of decor, but go with things that actually bring you peace. You can put your hobby stuff as well in this corner.

Wellness corners that are planned with these factors become part of everyday routines such as morning coffee, short breaks between meetings, or quiet time in the evening.
