Make Health a Priority in Your Home
Your home should do more than look beautiful — it should support your health, comfort, and wellbeing every day.
Pippa Lee, wellness architect, from Haven Designed believes that health starts at home. She is dedicated to showcasing natural elements such as natural rugs and how they play a role in creating healthier, safer living spaces.
A healthy home reduces exposure to harmful chemicals, improves air quality, and creates spaces where your mind and body can truly relax. Rugs, often overlooked, play a surprisingly important role in this.
Choosing natural fibre rugs is a simple, effective way to make your home healthier. Unlike synthetic options, natural rugs are low in VOCs (volatile organic compounds), free from harsh chemicals, and hypoallergenic, helping to keep the air you breathe cleaner and your living space safer.
Why Healthy Homes Matter
Healthy homes aren’t just a trend — they’re essential for long-term wellbeing. Key benefits include:
-
Cleaner air: Reducing toxins and pollutants in your home lowers the risk of respiratory problems and supports overall health.
-
Reduced allergens: Hypoallergenic materials trap less dust, mould, and irritants, helping those with allergies or sensitivities.
-
Comfort and warmth: Naturally insulating materials help regulate temperature and create cosy, inviting spaces.
-
Calm, stress-free spaces: Quiet, tactile, and natural environments reduce stress, improve mood, and support mental wellbeing.
-
Sustainable living: Using renewable, biodegradable materials protects the planet — and your family — for the long term.

Make Health a Priority
A truly beautiful home is also a healthy one. Choosing natural rugs is an easy but powerful step toward better air quality, reduced chemical exposure, natural insulation, and overall wellbeing. Because what you live on matters just as much as how your home looks — and your family deserves both.
