Shared accommodation, constantly evolving, arouses a variety of images and experiences in everyone. In short, it consists of sharing a living space, including the kitchen, living room, activity rooms, or even an outdoor space, while benefiting from your own private room.

However, how does the increasingly popular shared accommodation compare to solo living, where independence reigns supreme? In this exploration, we delve into the heart of co-living to shed light on its impact on mental health.

 

Mental Well-being in Shared Apartments

 

Shared accommodation offers many benefits for mental wellbeing, such as social support, a sense of belonging and enriching interactions. However, it can also present challenges, such as occasional disagreements and varying life schedules. At Holinest, we have developed a unique approach to creating harmonious shared accommodations by using a personality test to match our residents. This method guarantees everyone a personal space while promoting a positive roommate experience.

 

Influence of Social Interactions

 

Social interactions in shared accommodation are like a fertile ground for continuous learning. Imagine in-depth discussions around a kitchen table, where you share your travel experiences, broaden your perspective by discovering new cultures, and exchange tips on international cuisine. These moments promote personal development, just like guided group meditation sessions or board game evenings where you strengthen your social skills. In short, co-living offers a multitude of opportunities to nourish your mind, which translates into better mental health.

 

Social Support and Reduction of Isolation

 

Room sharing combats social isolation by providing an emotional support network. Living with roommates reduces stress and anxiety, contributing to better mental health.

 

Multicultural Shared Rentals and Expanding Activity Spaces

 

Today’s shared accommodations are marked by cultural diversity thanks to the presence of international roommates. They also offer facilities for collective physical activities, promoting an active and balanced lifestyle. Initiatives such as shared meals, cultural workshops, guided tours, language classes, collaborative art projects, lectures and excursions enrich the shared living experience by encouraging ongoing cultural and intellectual exchange.

 

Living Spaciously at an Affordable Cost

 

In addition to social interactions, co-living offers the opportunity to live in a spacious space at an affordable cost, promoting a positive mood and an optimistic attitude. In summary, co-living transcends simple space sharing to shape a social ecosystem essential for our mental health, while thoughtfully balancing personal and shared space. This unique harmony is at the heart of our approach at Holinest to the well-being of our residents.
