At Health & Home, our first step in creating a healthier space is minimizing toxins in the home. This can be in any stage from building materials, design, decor and products. It can be a really difficult step though as chemicals aren’t regulated and labeled in ways that put our health first. We believe this can and should change in every industry.
When it comes to issues such as chemicals and health, we have to advocate for the change we want to see in the world. We can do this by helping to create and support legislation, sharing our stories, donating and much more. It can be hard to figure out how to help make a difference when problems like chemical regulation can feel so big. These chemical & health advocacy groups linked below, provide easy ways to get involved in creating change and a healthier, safer world.
Together, let’s advocate for better!

WHY THE NATURE VIDEOS ON AN INTERIOR DESIGN SITE?
At Health & Home, we take every opportunity to pull inspiration from nature. The planet that we all call home is effortlessly picturesque. The colors and aesthetics of nature are perfect by design; they are the original classic, and they’ll never go out of style. What’s more is that, by capturing and imitating the Earth’s natural beauty, we can even influence our moods, heal our bodies and minds, and evoke particular feelings and behaviors within ourselves.
Throughout our website, we’ve intentionally chosen different nature-themed visuals on each page to arouse certain psychological responses. As you navigate our pages, take the time to be present within your mind and draw attention to how each page makes you feel. The purpose of this is to demonstrate how making intentional design choices rooted in biology and psychology can have a profound impact. You can click to expand the side tabs on each page to discover the science behind what we’ve chosen.

The color green here is dancing in divine elegance across a mountaintop along with its stunning, captivating partner stone blue. Green is a motivating color that symbolizes blank slates and new beginnings, and it can help push us to be persistent and pursue our goals. Stone blue is representative of the throat chakra, communication, and speaking your truth. We used these colors because, not only are they beautiful and could work in nearly any space to bring the outside in, but they also represent how we want you to feel after accessing our resources – motivated, encouraged, supported; able to speak and live your authentic truth; and inspired to help others do the same through advocacy and community. Here, the mountain itself represents a journey and a challenge. Once you overcome the challenge and successfully navigate whatever journey you might be on (like climbing a mountain perhaps), you are rewarded with breathtaking views and a sense of accomplishment. It’s no wonder that mountain living has been shown to have physical and mental health benefits galore – such as access to cleaner air, increased physical activity, lower stress levels, and improved heart health! Our “resources” page is here to help you navigate your journey with quizzes, educational materials, databases, and ways to get involved and create change through action and advocacy.
