Lucida, Well-being Interior Design

There is a connection between our aesthetical preferences, where we grew up, and where we chose to live. There is also an inherently intimate, authentic style that has nothing to do with these locations. This genuine sense of beauty is beyond our comprehension. Your personal design style is a perfect combination of the two.... #yyjinteriordesign #wellbeinginteriordesign #wellnessinteriordesign #holisticinteriordesign Photo by the Burning Man Journal - Art by Alexander Milov

Celebrating the International day of Forest. This picture is from a trip to Tofino 4 years ago.

Soaking up the green last weekend! In my colour study I learnt that the colour green relaxes and energizes us; its also linked with increasing focus and the ab...ility to learn. The misconception, however, lies in the idea that painting a wall green will bring the benefits. Green can be cold, warm and many shades in between. When a green colour palette is put together in harmony and balance, it can indeed bring these benefits while adding to the aesthetic of the space.

From Architectural Digest interview with Deepak Chopra about how his home responds to his well-being needs: "AD: Apart from sustainability, what do you look for when decorating your own home? DC: Every sense should be stimulated in a way that's joyful: textures and smells and colors. I have a more feminine design sensibility, rather than a masculine. You can tell the difference when you walk into an environment, whether it's more gentle and feminine or more predatory.... #wellbeinginteriordesign #wellnessinteriordesign #yyjinteriordesign Photo - Architectural Digest - by Craig Barritt/Getty Images

I wrote this article to demonstrate what goes behind putting an art wall together. What is more important than the shapes, frames, sizes and arrangement is the meaning of what we see. Our emotions are impacted by what our senses gather and sight is one of the most impactful. How do we want to feel is the number one question.

When it comes to beauty, our preference is based on our subjective experiences, strong memories, and our geographic and cultural backgrounds. In most cases, these biases and nuances are unconscious. However, authentic beauty lies in deeper layers beyond the influences and conditioning, should and shouldn't, does and don'ts. It reflects what's important to our soul and heart's happiness "Beauty is essentially spiritual. The authentic beauty lies in the heart" ~Sivananda Here'...s the January Blog.
