What is Holistic Interior Design?
Welcome to Holistic Home! I’m Chelsea, an interior designer and decorator based in Sydney, and I’m thrilled to embark on this journey with you. In our inaugural episode, we’re diving into the world of holistic interior design, exploring its significance beyond aesthetics, and how it can positively impact your overall well-being.
Growing up, I always found joy in flipping through magazines, circling my favourite designs, and collecting cuttings of wallpapers and artworks. Creating a home has always been more than just about appearances for me; it’s about cultivating a space that resonates with your true self and enhances your lifestyle. As I ventured into the interior design industry, I made it my mission to focus on intentional design with wellness at its core, making holistic practices the cornerstone of my work.
Holistic interior design goes beyond surface-level aesthetics; it considers how you feel in a space—mind, body, and spirit. It’s an approach that prioritises the well-being of individuals inhabiting a space, and it’s remarkably simple to incorporate into your daily life.
Let’s start with colour, a powerful element that can significantly influence your mood. Your favourite colours, those that make you feel bright and happy, can be strategically incorporated into your home through paint choices. Say goodbye to the standard white walls and consider a feature wall in your bedroom painted in a soothing shade, complemented by lavender essential oils and soft, cloud-like bedding. Holistic interior design transforms your living spaces into sanctuaries that promote relaxation and rejuvenation.
In our fast-paced lives, achieving a work-life balance can be challenging. However, your home should serve as a sanctuary, supporting and working with you, not against you. Take a moment to evaluate your living space, identifying any elements that may not align with your values. Consider what changes you can make to enhance the harmony and intentionality of your surroundings.
