As a holistic interior designer in Palm Beach, I've seen firsthand how the pursuit of a beautiful home can sometimes come at an unexpected cost – your health. While the design industry has embraced the term "clean aesthetic," true clean living requires looking beyond the surface. At RG Home Designs, we've spent years developing solutions for homeowners who want both: stunning spaces that nurture their well-being. We take Non- Toxic Interior Design to a whole other level.
The Real Meaning of "Clean" Design
When most people think of clean design, they envision minimalist spaces with crisp white walls and sleek furniture. But what if I told you that same "clean" space could be silently impacting your family's health? As someone who discovered this truth through personal experience with mold issues in my own home, I've made it my mission to redefine what clean really means in interior design.
The Invisible Threats in Your "Healthy" Home
1. Hidden VOCs in "Eco" Materials Many products marketed as eco-friendly still contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These chemicals can off-gas for years, affecting indoor air quality and potentially triggering health issues. This is why at RG Home Designs, we've developed a unique post-installation process: heating homes to 85°F for 48 hours to accelerate VOC release, followed by thorough air scrubbing.
2. EMF Exposure: The Modern Home's Hidden Challenge With the increase in smart home technology, EMF (electromagnetic field) radiation has become a significant concern. Our solution? Innovative metal chips strategically placed throughout your home to absorb harmful radiation while maintaining the functionality you love.
3. Water Quality: Beyond the Tap Filter Clean design must include what you can't see. Our whole-home water purification systems ensure that every drop of water – whether for drinking, bathing, or cleaning – supports your health. Our signature MicroSilk bathtubs don't just look luxurious; they increase oxygen levels by 70% and promote natural collagen production.
