Our homes are our refuge from the world. They should be the place where we can relax, reconnect with our families, and recharge. Like many others, I have found myself spending more time in my house and realizing how important it is to create my own retreat. I love to go home at the end of the day and feel truly relaxed. With so many design options available, I know it can be sometimes overwhelming to know which route to go. I am here to give you a little bit of guidance to get you started on incorporating some wellness into your home.
Many companies are incorporating elements that will enhance wellness in your home. Marvin, which manufactures innovative window and door solutions, is one standout company. As another family-owned business, Marvin has interviewed thousands of homeowners and experts, including sleep scientists, to develop products that support healthier living at home. The results? Three trending design concepts that exemplify a wellness focus, highlighting Marvin products that can transform any room into a sanctuary.
Creating Calm Zones

It’s essential to carve out space at home for relaxation and rejuvenation. For those who work from home, creating a serene retreat from your home office or a tranquil nook away from daily clutter is crucial. Marvin’s Skycove™ has the perfect solution. This award-winning self-supporting bay window alternative offers up to 20 square feet of additional usable space. It is designed to endure harsh weather conditions and various climates while maximizing natural light and providing panoramic views. Skycove™ serves as the perfect balance to bringing the outdoors in and enjoying the seasons all year long.
Using Technology Thoughtfully
A simple way to significantly impact your home’s ambiance is with lighting. Lighting can play a crucial role in enhancing your mood, productivity, and sleep cycles. A revolutionary product in this area is the Marvin Awaken skylight, which features built-in, tunable lighting that mimics natural light, supporting your circadian rhythms and easing transitions from day to night. This skylight’s LED lighting can be adjusted with the ease of a panel, app, or smart home system to match the natural light’s ideal color temperature. Additionally, its venting system is optimized to allow for rapid air circulation, and smart sensors detect rain and air quality issues, further enhancing the home environment.



Connecting to Nature

A researched-backed way to benefit both mental and physical health is to spend time in nature. This added benefit is why designers are aiming to cohesively transition the outdoors, in. Marvin’s Modern Multi-Slide Door provides expansive views and a stronger connection to the outdoor environment. With thermal-efficient panels up to six feet wide and over 30 configurations, it is suitable for various climates and homes, offering homeowners a seamless indoor-outdoor experience that enhances wellbeing year-round.
