This is your Year 2022!

To enable your Creative Spirit...at home

During Covid. which has resulted in the trend for working at home, much discussion has been around designing home offices and personal gyms. Yet living well by design should also extend to making some space for creative pursuits. Whether you are an artist/artisan, writer, composer, musician etc you need a dedicated space. In expressing your creativity which draws upon your imagination it is important to the whole home design scheme to minimize consumptive habits enabled by technology.

Considerations for your plan…

-          Define your creator identity. If you don’t have one this is the time to look inwards and think about what brings joy

-          Make a list of tools and resources needed in your designated space whether it be a corner near a window for natural light or an outdoor garden shed, there are a variety of possibilities

-          Recognizing this is not a sanctuary for relaxation it is a workspace! As such, colours that enliven us from the warm colour family of red, orange and yellow in a realistic quantity can be part of the palette.

-          From deep rich tones to natural textures, you can create a welcoming and energizing space

-          From availability of natural light from a window to full spectrum task lighting, your space must include supportive lighting

-          Much is spoken of the need to improve IAQ (indoor air quality) for our health and the installation of air freshening plants such as Boston Fern,  Snake Plant, Golden Pothos and many more will help

-          Note  these same houseplants will also help to combat electronic pollution from all the electronic gadgets which emit harmful EMFs (electro magnetic frequencies) My suggestion is to have very little of these items in your creative space

-          Start with a Vision board of what your goals are for each project. You can dedicate a wall with references to inspirations and update it as you go along

 Wishing you all good health and may this be a year of renewal.

Autumn D I Y Project

Autumn Joy!

With the advent of Autumn, it is time for us to align our interiors with this Season of colorful celebration. Home office arrangment has been the focus of many social media posts and advice articles over the past months of Covid 19 as many still do or prefer to work from home.

There is an exciting new spotlight on creating a space of one’s own, a cozy nook: including personal space for contemplation & creativity; organizing & styling a personal space for books, art and photos; to designating a quiet corner for relaxation and meditation. Be it a space away from work or tasks and separate from the rituals of consumption such as home entertainment units. Some ideas to consider…

Palette for your designated space
- Consider the beauty of autumn with its vibrant colors and textures and how these elements can be represented in your personal space

The Function of this area
- Will it be a place for creative activities - arts, crafts, playing a musical instrument? Your sacred space for meditation? Or just a quiet nook to curl up with a book?

Organizing Principles
- To realize a successful outcome for this design scheme, prepare a list of items required in this space and work from a rough layout

Styling
- Add your own artistic flair to style your space

Ideally, this is an area devoid of electronic devices and the ever growing presence of electronic pollution in our homes (Electro Magnetic Frequencies). It will be a space with good natural lighting or full spectrum lighting for the coming shorter days. A plant protector to improve Indoor Air Quality and provide a pleasing addition to your decor will also reside here.
