The holistic view of Wow! Home décor.
The holistic view of Wow! Home décor.
Today in the Southbury, Connecticut area it’s not only the aesthetic look of your interior spaces- colors, textures and accessories that help deliver a Wow! Look, but also the ability of your home to support your feelings, emotional health and future dreams; delivering a true holistic sense of who you and the other occupants are, and who you are in the process of becoming.
No more simply choosing some colors and a few furnishings from your local retailer and calling it “the design plan”, a holistic home incorporates style, personality, sustainable furnishings, all of which need to roll up into a fashion sense that identifies you as an individual on the move. Maybe not in the sense of physically moving- but certainly in a sense of emerging into the person or family you want to be.
You might think, décor can do all that? Yes, and more. The right space, beginning with sourcing individual elements that honor the environment, your personal ethics and ones that encompass your unique talents can help heal a heart, solidify a relationship and offer a platform for a strong family unit.
Here are three key elements to keep in mind when thinking Holistic Design:
1. Identify your physical and emotional comfort triggers. Is it a cozy space in front of a window, or a cubby tucked into your family room? Do you love natural light or many candles casting a soft glow?
2. Select some elements that appeal to you. A good place to start is in your clothes closet. What five outfits do you reach for time and time again? Think about why, and include those elements in your design plan.
3. What are you conscious purchases and what do you stand for on this planet. Ooh, that’s deep. Maybe you use recycled paper towels and turn your lights off when not in a room, or you sit on the board of your local environmental charity, are a vegan and make your own soap! Whatever level you commit to – you are participating in sustainability in one way. Leverage that in your home design, too.
Taking some time to look inward to who you are and who you and your family are becoming is a great start in creating a Wow! holistic look that will serve you well.
