As I write this blog, most of this country and the world, because of the international epidemic, is spending much if not the majority of their lives in their homes.
In addition to the necessary day-to-day living tasks that need to be performed, we have an increased need to make special efforts to maintain our psychological, intellectual, and emotional sanity.
These conditions offer a unique opportunity to take a thorough look at our residential interior environments.
Look at all of the elements of your interior spaces as design compositions consisting of lines, forms, masses, colors, and textures.
What are the sources of light and how do they illumine the spaces?
How do the proportions of the rooms, doors, windows, furnishings, et cetera there of relate to each other?
What are the intensity, lightness, and surface reflections of all of the colors used and how do they relate to each other in an overall scheme?
What are the functions of each room and how does the room and it’s furnishings fulfill these roles?
What is the overall ambiance of the space and how does it feel to be living in it?
Look at your personal spaces as you have not looked at them before and see everything on a higher psychological, intellectual, and aesthetic level.
Such will nurture you and enhance your living during this world wide climate of challenges.
Food for thought.
