Boosting Positive Energy Through Your Interior Design Choices
It’s widely recognized that your environment can significantly impact your mood and mental well-being. An uninspiring space can lead to quicker burnout while a bright and colorful space can spark creativity and invoke happiness! When designing your space, it is important to consider how the space will affect your energy.
Here are six of our favorite tips on how you can best promote positive energy in your design spaces:
Color Theory
Colors have a huge impact on our feelings, particularly in design spaces. To inspire positive energy, we recommend picking colors that suit your needs by what they give off. In need of some happy energy? Pick warm colors such as reds, oranges, and yellows. Maybe you could use a little extra calmness – try adding in green elements. Blues are best for soothing anxiety and purple for relaxation and emotional balance. Incorporating various colors intentionally into a space can help guide your positive energy and overall mood.
Natural Design Elements
Who doesn’t love a little bit of greenery and nature in their design space? Incorporating plants, wood materials and furniture, and natural lighting into your design helps your space feel more natural and less rigid, welcoming the positive energy in.
Warm Lighting
Lighting can make or break your space’s energy. For a positively comfortable space, we recommend using warm bulbs in small light fixtures such as lamps. Other warm lighting elements that can double as clever decor pieces are candles and salt lamps. Salt lamps are naturally beneficial for your health while essential oil candles can benefit your mood and energy.
Organized and Balanced Layout
A clean and balanced space is highly important to maintain the overall positive energy balance in your space. Open floor plans allow more natural light to be brought in and can increase positivity. Furniture wise, rounded edges add to a sense of comfort and relaxation while improving the overall flow of a space. To make a room feel more spacious visually, add in mirror design elements. Adding these types of elements will amplify the positive energy already present in your space.
Interactive Space
A section of your space dedicated to personal creativity is never a bad idea. Highly recommended are reading nooks, zen gardens, creative corners, and meditation space. Including these concepts into your space can create a stronger sense of comfort and relaxation in your space, aiding the positive vibes in your design. These spaces curate what we like to call a personal sanctuary, a topic our founder and CEO, Cheryl, is an expert on.
Personal Art Touches
Feeling connected to your design space personally boosts your creativity and overall mood when interacting with your space. Photo galleries can make your space feel more personal and comforting. To increase creativity try incorporating abstract art pieces and custom vision boards into your space. Goal-focused elements such as vision boards or travel inspiration walls are a great way to create more positive energy in your space while inspiring you in your adventures!
