Moody interiors get mislabeled as “dark” when they’re really about depth of the design. These are spaces that feel like an exhale when you arrive home after a long day. And yes, there’s science behind why certain color palettes can evoke a strong feeling of restoration and relaxation.

My approach to interiors is design as self-care. We spend nearly 87% of our time indoors, so our surroundings have a profound impact on our health and our happiness. That’s why, with my clients, I emphasize natural light and clutter-free spaces since scientific studies have show these elements reduce stress and boost mood.

The Mindful Design Journal is where design meets intention. It's a space to explore the art and science of how interiors influence well-being.
