Mamad is the Hebrew acronym for ‘protected space for the apartment’.

In this article we will discuss how to create a home space for ourselves, in which we will feel protected, safe and comfortable (and not the question of creating an actual safe room according to Home Front Command regulations).

A sense of security in home design is important, and profoundly affects how we feel in our private space. How do we create a home for ourselves  that encourages a sense of security

 There are several ways you can create a sense of security in home décor:

1. Lighting:

Proper lighting can create a pleasant and safe atmosphere in your home. Soft LED lighting adapted to different needs can create a calm and relaxing atmosphere.

2. Colors:

Choosing the right colors can affect the atmosphere in the space. Light, soft colors can create a sense of calm and security, as opposed to dark colors that can create a sense of insecurity.

3. Order and organization:

 Neat and well organized home design encourages a sense of security. When everything has a defined place, the furniture and accessories are placed in an orderly and organized manner, a sense of quiet and order is created in the space.

4. Security:

Security systems such as security cameras, smart locks, bars and alarm systems can contribute to a sense of physical security in the home.

5. Plants and vegetation:

Adding plants in your home can create a feeling of a natural and fresh atmosphere, which can calm and reduce the tension we live in.

6. Objects:

It is worthwhile to fill the house with objects that give a sense of security  – pictures you like, warm decorative details, objects of emotional and family value. All these contribute to a sense of belonging, as well as a sense of security and calm.

It is important to remember that every person is different, and so are their feelings. The home design should match the style and personal needs of the residents in order to create a true sense of security and comfort.

Designing your home in a way that encourages a sense of security can improve our quality of life and create a pleasant and safe environment to stay in.
