Stay At Home Design: The Health Aspects of Furniture

DeAnna On Design

Welcome back to our re-boot of the DeAnna On Design podcast!! Today's topic will feature the health aspect & impact of furniture. From supporting & adding to our recovery from an illness/aging/surgery to the materials/textiles used in the manufacturing & the resulting off-gassing of VOCs into our space, we'll discuss. This is a vital topic currently as furniture stores/galleries are deemed as 'non essential' during the pandemic, however, it is DUE to the pandemic that the furniture in our spaces are even MORE essential as our homes are acting as school rooms, offices, recovery spaces & sanctuaries. As we are 'sheltering in place' and/or working from home, our home environment has become even more important in terms of our health-mental & physical-and a place where we work, educate & entertain ourselves on a 24/7 basis. Creating and designing an environment that supports us through these unprecedented & challenging times, while still maintaining a sense of normalcy is key to getting through the next month(s). Our re-boot will offer tips, projects & reviews of ideas you can easily implement into your home to make this time a bit easier.
