How To Design to Create a Mood

We ask our clients often, what do you want to feel in your home? Sometimes that answer is “inspired” or “peaceful”, others may say “happy” or “joyful”. The layers upon layers of feelings evoked from your home can vary room to room. Each room can represent something different. Here are our top ten ways to design to create a mood.

No. 1 Fill Your Walls With Art

Art so easily inspires a mood. It is such a subjective piece of decor, but it has the power to truly make the room. Filling a large space with a gallery wall of interesting art will be a sure conversation starter in the event you’re hosting friends or family. Placing an oversized abstract painting on the wall with a bright color will draw your eyes to it each time you’re in the room and garner a mood of playfulness. Get inspired with our top picks of how to create mood by filling your walls with art.

No. 2 Create Spaces for Community and Healthy Living

Spaces can be inviting or they can be incredibly uncomfortable. An inviting space offers a vessel for beautiful memories for your family, or activities done together instead of starting at phones or television. Designing your home creates an opportunity to do more than make it look pretty, you can impact the way your family operates within its walls and encourage the type of life you love.

No. 3 Elevate Daily Rituals

The experience of your first morning cup of coffee as the sun peeks into your kitchen, or having comfy cushions on the floor by your fireplace for morning snuggles. A tea station or yoga space, wine room or snack station. All of these spaces can make ordinary and everyday rituals a fun experience.
