新房這樣裝修會讓你更健康大綱

It's no secret that your environment can have a direct impact on your overall well-being. New York City-based architectural designer Carolyn DiCarlo, who strives to incorporate wellness into her projects, shares her top tips for crafting an inviting home that can have positive effects on your lifestyle.

衆所周知，環境對人體健康有着直接影響。紐約市的建築設計師Carolyn DiCarlo致力於將健康融入到室內設計，她分享了一些可以對您的生活方式產生積極影響的家居建議。

1) Carve Out a Relaxing Nook

1) 留一處放鬆小天地

It's important to balance a busy schedule with sufficient downtime. For that reason, DiCarlo suggests designing an area in your home that's reserved for reading or even meditating. "When you have a safe place, you can be comfortable and effective in the world," she says.

在忙碌的日常工作和足夠的休息時間之間取得平衡非常重要。因此，DiCarlo建議在家中設計一處專門用於閱讀甚至是冥想的'小天地'。"當你擁有安全之所時，你會覺得一切都變得舒適、有效，"她說道。

2) Embrace Nature

2) 擁抱大自然

According DiCarlo, embracing nature in your home goes beyond just incorporating greenery into your space. "There is nothing More de-stressing than sinking into the rhythms of nature," she says. "This might mean orienting areas in a room based on the time of day when the best light hits." For instance, it might be helpful to design a reading nook exactly where the sunlight tends to pour in from behind you when reading.

DiCarlo表示，屋內的自然元素可不止是綠植。"沒有什麼比沉浸在大自然的節奏中更能舒緩壓力的事情了，"她說道。"這可能意味着根據陽光的最佳照射時間進行屋內設計。"比如，背後有陽光灑落的地方應該設計爲閱讀區。

3) Avoid Feeling Confined

3) 不要給人一種空間受限感

The best way to avoid feeling like a prisoner in your own home is to take advantage of your windows. Keep windows clean and pay close attention to where seating is placed in your home. "It's good to sit near a window," DiCarlo says.

如何避免'籠中困獸'之感的產生？利用窗戶！擦亮窗戶、注意屋內座位的位置。"靠近窗戶坐就很不錯，"DiCarlo說道。

4) Aim for Good Circulation

4) 通風很重要

The flow of circulation is crucial in a home. "Move furniture around to free up the circulation flow and encourage lingering by creating places to pause," DiCarlo says. If you are designing a new home, opt for wide corridors to allow for easy movement between rooms. Decorating with books and plants can also encourage relaxed interactions, which DiCarlo finds to be "psychologically beneficial, as well as give you more places to hang out."

屋內的通風很重要。"傢俱擺放的位置不能阻礙空氣流通，留出空地可促進空氣循環，"DiCarlo說道。設計新房子時，每間屋子都應留出一條寬寬的過道，方便走動。用書和綠植進行裝飾也能令人放鬆心情，DiCarlo認爲這是"心理上有益的，同時還能提供更多的休閒區域。"

5) Pay Attention to Materials

5) 留意耗材

For a more inviting home atmosphere, selecting furniture material wisely can make a major difference. "Materials like marble and wood feel good to the touch," DiCarlo says. However, metals, granite, and glass can be "too rough, harsh or just annoying."

想要家庭環境更溫馨？明智選擇傢俱的材料會產生重大影響。"大理石和木頭等材料觸感極佳，"DiCarlo說道。但金屬、花崗岩和玻璃可能會顯得"過於粗糙、刺耳或令人厭煩。"
