4 Benefits of Bringing the Outdoors Inside!

Even though we all need shelter, we humans still have a connection to the world around us, and bringing nature into your home is known to provide plenty of benefits for your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. In this blog, we’re going to cover the many benefits of bringing the outdoors in and show you ideas on how to do so with WoodHaven log siding and paneling products.

#1 – Improved Air Quality

Wood is one of the most pure, natural building materials that you could choose. It doesn’t retain pollution, dirt, or dust, and even helps regulate moisture and humidity within a space. Pair your wood walls with plenty of indoor plants for even better air quality! WoodHaven log paneling and siding products are made from Michigan-grown knotty pine, cedar, and aspen woods. We source our lumber from a local Amish mill, meaning you’re getting wood that’s true to the grain–no composite woods here.

#2 – Enhanced Mood and Well-Being

As human beings, we tend to thrive better when we have a connection to nature. We absorb vitamins from the sun. We have an ongoing exchange of oxygen with the plants around us. Spending time outdoors and with nature promotes greater happiness, decreased symptoms of anxiety and depression, and a positive effect on our body’s natural sleep-wake cycle.

#3 – Stress Reduction

Incorporating natural materials into your home can create a calming and relaxing environment that is actually proven to reduce stress and blood pressure. Other claimed health benefits of spending time around nature include improved sleep quality, faster recoveries from illness or surgery, and reduced symptoms of certain ailments.

#4 – Better Insulation

Wood is a natural insulator! Wood walls and accents can help absorb noises in the home, creating a quieter and more peaceful living environment. Wood is also good for maintaining indoor temperatures.
