How Does Your Home Make You Feel?

Does your home make you feel happy, energized, and peaceful? Or do you feel unhappy, depressed, or distressed in your home and you don’t know why?

Many people design and decorate their home following traditional interior design methods only to feel unsatisfied with the results. Perhaps you’ve repainted, reduced clutter, and updated your kitchen, but you still feel something is missing. It’s time you learn the principles of Design Psychology so you can purposefully choose design elements that promote positive emotions and well-being.

Imagine revisiting the most memorable, joy-filled home you’ve visited. What made this home special to you? The people who lived there? Were they happy, enthusiastic, and enjoying life? What features in the home and furnishings instill joyful memories in you?

Envision your own joy-filled home. What feelings does this home conjure in your imagination? We want our homes to provide and promote comfort, relaxation, inspiration, refreshment, laughter, and happy moments. You can intentionally design your home to foster joyful feelings when you apply the principles of Design Psychology.
