Breathe Easy
When you live, work and play all in the same space, it’s more important than ever to ensure that air is clean. The Blueair Blue Pure 311 Auto has a three-step filtration process to remove particles from cooking, pets and dust. $240, blueair.com
Cleaner Water
Even the highest-quality tap water can have unwanted chemicals and buildup. The glass LifeStraw Home Water Filter Pitcher is an elegant solution, with a filter that can protect against 30 contaminants including bacteria, parasites, microplastics and more (see the full list at the LifeStraw website). $55, lifestraw.com
