The innovative Wellness Design TM System offers business and leisure travelers a reliable certification system that works to their advantage, offering them the ultimate in hospitality and experience through rooms and hotel areas and rentals that function therapeutically for people and certified improve their health, wellness and mood during their stay.
Now what I want you to think about is the experience you have when you walk into your hotel room.
Ideally, the right hotel room should be a relaxing, quiet, private retreat where you can get from the world, with enough vivid energy to encourage an active romance and help you wake up energetically in the morning.
1. Air Purification
The Wellness Design TM System uses natural and bio-friendly ways to clean the indoor air and to maintain high air quality, as with plants.
Bio-friendly design wins over million of followers every day around the world. Indoor plants, however, are not just decorative of a space.
In fact, according to scientific research, plants contribute essentially to human health by decreasing drastically stress levels and at the same time absorbing indoor air pollution.
In a hotel room the appropriate indoor plants in addition to making the room beautiful and giving it lively energy, will offer travelers superior indoor air quality.

2. Lighting
The different sources of lightning create a special aesthetic result in the hotel rooms, but this is something that can be appreciated especially at night.
But what do you do during day time? Blackout curtains are usually placed in the windows of the rooms, and travelers close them not only for blackout but also to create privacy.
However, this does not allow therapeutic daylight to enter the room and so travelers for several hours of the day lose the valuable benefits of daylight while research supports the positive effect of daylight on human health.
Bright environments increase peoples’ comfort and provide the mental and visual stimulation needed to regulate human circadian rhythms, which will be of particular help to jet lag travelers.
One solution would be to create skylights at the top of windows or other parts of the room, so that when travelers choose to close the curtains for privacy, you do not block daylight from entering the room.
3. Feng Shui
Feng Shui is one of the 8 strands of Traditional Chinese Medicine and like all strands of TCM aims to create harmony and balance as a form of prevention and treatment for the man.
The Wellness Design TM System uses Feng Shui to shape the layout of hotel rooms and to place furniture for harmonious and balanced energy in the space.
In this video you can see what are the best positions in a room in regards to bed placement, so that together with a very good quality mattress to offer the travelers the highest quality of therapeutic sleep during their stay.
Good sleep quality is the best advertisement for any hotel in the world!

4. Colour Therapy
Regarding the psychological effects that colors can have on human, scientific research has shown that colors play a very important role and can be really beneficial for a human if used properly. Accordingly they can harm peoples’ psychology if are used in a wrong way.
Is this common phenomenon of color choices that we see in hotel rooms beneficial to the traveler’s human health?
For instance in Greece, where most hotel rooms are white, white walls, white furniture, white bedding, if a person sleeps in a white space it causes depression and does not activate him positively and is something that certainly no traveler wants on holidays of.
Unfortunately in most cases the people, who design and decorate the interiors in the hotel rooms do not have the necessary specialized knowledge required for the color choices to be therapeutic for the travelers, who use the room and travelers’ health is degraded on the altar of convenient design.
So what are the good colors to make sure your hotel room is a safe, warm and harmonious place for travelers?
The appropriate color palettes for hotel rooms are the same that are suitable for our home bedrooms.
Start using some earthy and metallic colors like beige, terracottas, orange, yellow, pink, coral, brown, these are very good colors, earthy tones calm the energy and the person.
Definitely try to avoid everything white, too red but also too blue and green.
5. Crystal-therapy
Each person carries his own energy and his own story and every time he is in a space leaves behind an energy imprint. Imagine a hotel room that has never had been an energy cleansing, what carries from each person ,who stayed in and slept in bed.
Natural crystals can be very helpful in this.
The beneficial properties of crystals have been known to mankind since ancient times and the Wellness Design TM System uses the power of crystals for air purification, energy cleansing and healing.
You can therefore include 1-2 decorations made of natural quartz crystal in your hotel room to clean the space from the energy of each guest.
6. Aromatherapy
A form of alternative medicine, aromatherapy is gaining momentum. It is used for a variety of applications, such as pain relief, mood enhancement and increased cognitive function. There are a large number of essential oils, each with its own healing properties.
The Wellness Design TM System provides the use of specific perfumes in the spaces depending on their use, as a way of cleaning energy, increasing air quality, healing and creating a relaxing atmosphere that supports human health and well-being.
It is very easy to create a small spa for everyone in the hotel room with an air humidifier and aromatherapy device.
Smells are something that remain indelible in peoples’ memory and will definitely be the best welcome for travelers if opening the door of their room is flooded with a beautiful smell.
The benefits ofcourse, can be twofold if you also use essential oils that kill germs and bacteria from the air, such as sage.

7. Sound-therapy
Dr Masaru Emoto discovered that the vibrations of words, sounds and frequencies have a direct effect on the geometric structure of water crystals.
The human body consists of 70-75% water. Playing different types of sounds, it was found that a happy music has a positive effect on the geometric formation of water crystals, while a sad, depressing or heavy(low vibrations) has a negative effect on the formation of crystals.
The Wellness Design TM System provides the spaces with sounds that create a pleasant environment and work therapeutically for humans.
I would therefore recommend you make the difference and have in your hotel room an audio-system or an iPad with specially designed playlists for your hotel, with music, podcasts, guided meditations, to guide and inspire travelers in positive sounds and healing activities.

+1 Outdoor Therapy
Sun and nature, man’s allies for good health and well-being.
Sun exposure lowers blood pressure, improves bone health, brain function and sleep quality, eases mild depression, strengthens the immune system and more.
Findings from various studies have converged, indicating that simply seeing nature or garden scenes significantly improves stress in just five minutes or less.
Well-designed gardens not only provide a tonic and pleasant view of nature, but can also reduce stress and improve clinical outcomes.
In hotel rooms that have their terrace or garden, give a little more emphasis to their decoration.
Invite the traveler to the outside environment of his bedroom to relax and enjoy the sun and nature in comfort.
If space allows, add two footrests for the seats, so that they can be turned into sunbeds. A beautiful candlestick for a tea light will definitely be useful and will be especially appreciated in the evening.
