What Is a Healthy Home? 7 Essentials for Wellness-Focused Living

The average American spends nearly 87% of their life indoors, with over half of that time spent inside their own home. That’s why your home shouldn’t just look stunning, it should also support your health, comfort, and longevity. At Cedar Pointe Homes, we believe your custom home should be a place where your family can breathe easy, live intentionally, and thrive physically, mentally, and spiritually.

So... what is a healthy home?
It’s more than clean air and filtered water, it’s a thoughtfully designed space that supports wellness in every detail. Below, we explore seven core elements to consider when building your Healthy Home.

1. Relationships & Connection

A healthy home starts with connection to people, not just places.

  • Open floor plans promote conversation and interaction
  • Inviting outdoor areas like patios and courtyards foster community
  • Cozy gathering spaces help build lasting memories with friends and family

Design your home as a place that strengthens relationships.

2. Clean Air & Water

Air and water quality directly impact long-term health.

  • Advanced filtration systems reduce allergens and toxins
  • Ventilation and airflow planning ensures fresh, oxygen-rich air
  • Whole-home water filtration offers safe, clean drinking water from every faucet

Breathe easier and live cleaner with the right systems built in.

3. Natural Light

Sunlight supports mental and physical health.

  • Large windows and open layouts increase daylight exposure
  • Natural light has been shown to:
    • Improve mood
    • Promote better sleep
    • Boost productivity

Design with light to energize your day and soothe your evenings.

4. Quality Sleep Spaces

Rest is one of the pillars of wellness.

  • Create calming bedrooms with minimal light and noise
  • Use smart tech to regulate temperature and air quality
  • Consider intentional layouts for quiet zones in the home

Sleep well. Live well.

5. Nutrition-Forward Design

Good design supports good habits.

  • Spacious kitchens make healthy cooking easier
  • Include gardens or edible landscaping for fresh produce
  • Add dedicated pantry space for easy organization and prep

Build a home that helps you fuel your life with intention.

6. Space for Movement & Exercise

Activity improves health — your home can help.

  • Include a home gym, yoga room, or studio
  • Design multi-functional outdoor areas for recreation and relaxation
  • Make stairways and walkways safe, accessible, and well-lit

Healthy homes make movement convenient and enjoyable.

7. Purpose, Meaning & Spirituality

True health includes the mind and soul.

  • Create quiet spaces for reflection or prayer
  • Design workspaces that inspire creativity and focus
  • Include intentional details that reflect your values

A healthy home nourishes your purpose — not just your body.

I have been through the homebuilding process a number of times, but this was my first experience Cedar Pointe Homes.  Although there were some bumps in the process I have to say that Cedar Pointe Homes was the most honest, ethical, homebuilding organization that I have ever worked with.  They were also very communicative during the construction phases.  We received regular video updates and well as email communications.  I would highly recommend them to build your home.

Kasey was a real pro throughout the entire process. He exhibited a high degree of professionalism, patience with us, sense of urgency with the project and very open to our thoughts and ideas. We couldn't have had a better experience in moving into our dream home across state lines to St George. Cedar Pointe continues to follow up in a difficult pandemic shortage to make sure every detail is addressed.
Lisa Fisher
Kaelen, Kasey, and Brandi at Cedar Pointe Homes have been so wonderful to work with, as an interior designer, on my client's design for his home during the designing, selection, and construction part of this process. Communication has been prompt and professional, and that is appreciated! The quality build is among the best here in southern Utah and I would work with all of them again.
Shon Call
So Impressed with the home Cedar Pointe Homes built in Desert Color.  The quality of work and attention to details was impressive.  This is not your basic cookie cutter home but rather a 4 story vacation getaway with very tricky levels and outdoor decks.
Mathis Langlais
We at pmmtl are thrilled to collaborate with Cedar Pointe Homes. Kaelen and his team demonstrate excellent communication and professionalism.
