When you think about your home, what makes it feel like home to you? Is it the location, the people you live with or even the way you’ve chosen to decorate? You may not realise it, but a home’s interior design can have a huge impact on your mental well-being. As part of my mission to make my house a happier place in 2026, I consulted with psychologists and interior designers to explore the connection between interior design and mental well-being.
In a world of ‘health’ gimmicks and wellbeing trends that cycle in and out of fashion, it’s easy to feel sceptical that a certain product or design choice will revolutionise your life and even improve it. I certainly felt sceptical at the start of my home’s happiness journey.
