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

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

Healthy homes make movement convenient and enjoyable.
7. Purpose, Meaning & Spirituality
True health includes the mind and soul.
