That being said, I want to make the design of my house about the mood and functionality, rather than just the aesthetic. It’s more about the statement it makes. This is my one and only home, so it should fit seamlessly with my lifestyle. I also want the house to reflect my personal style, which is honestly all over the place and changes with the moon.
My second epiphany was that since different rooms in my house are used for different purposes, they all need to have their own, slightly different vibe to fit the mood I’m going for in that room. Big yikes, this is all getting very overwhelming. Am I thinking way too far into it? Maybe. But it’s what I do best and I’m confident the outcomes will be worth the extra care. Lucky for me I have EIGHT whole rooms to work with, so I get to mess around a little bit.

Different elements like color, lighting, and furniture arrangement invoke different emotional responses, affect your mood, and can even impact productivity You’ve heard of color theory, right? Just like that. How your space is cultivated matters.
