Before dreaming big on how to make your space look sleek and inviting, it is important to know about a “healthy home”. Everything, from the simple things you use daily (like your bed) or things thrown in for the ambience, should not contain harmful substances. For example, the woodwork and paints might have toxic chemicals that might induce allergies or at times, even lead to cancer. A healthy home is the best foundation for a good living and taking a few easy steps might provide fruitful results.

• Candles- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that air pollution is two to five times greater indoors, due to enclosed spaces, than outdoors. A lot of our household products can emit VOC gases that can be extremely harmful, like formaldehyde which is carcinogenic and can also cause respiratory distress. Being choosy with your home décor can work wonders over a long term. Organic Candles have an amazing effect in changing the atmosphere.

• Specific House Plants like Areca Palm and Common Ivy can remove toxins and purify the air effectively.
