Your home should be a place that helps you feel centered and at peace. With all the stress we face in our day-to-day lives, wouldn’t it be nice to walk in your door and enter an environment that puts you at ease? Restorative design aims to do this by helping you create a calming sanctuary.
What is Restorative Design?
Restorative design is a style of decor that puts the mind, body, and soul first by focusing on biophilic influences and sustainability. An easy, peaceful style of home decor, Restorative design creates a sense of tranquility by establishing a connection to the outdoors. Even when the weather is cold and gray, having those natural connections indoors can go a long way in helping you feel refreshed and energized.
What Colors to Use in Restorative Design
As a style with roots in nature, organic colors drive Restorative design. Grounded neutrals like taupes, beiges, and browns are stapes of this style and allow other natural hues, like aquatic blues and sage greens, to shine.
Types of Flooring in Restorative Design
Flooring with a Restorative interior should be understated and natural. For wood visuals, look for European White Oak, maple, and hickory with minimal distressing and light or mid-tone caramelized finishes. Natural stone visuals like concrete, slate, and limestone are also great options. When looking for rugs, keep an eye out for rugs made with natural fibers, understated neutral colors, and interesting textures.

With the emphasis on simplicity and minimalism, be sure to include storage options that will keep clutter hidden from view.
