Interior Spaces

Organization & Design

Having branched out into interior decorating, it really makes sense to me how our interior spaces influence our well being. With organization, when someone walks into a cluttered, untidy space they don't feel happy. And visa-versa, when they walk into a nice, orderly space they get a sense of pleasure.

The principles of organization and interior design can go hand-in-hand. In organizing a room, we pay attention to removing stuff that doesn't fit or belong in that space. We then set it up for "ease of care" and functionality. In interior decorating, we do the same, only with particular attention to aesthetics.

Spaces with storage problems also have access problems. Clutter, or things blocking our way, causes access problems. Because of this, an interior decorator might attempt to design the area using built-in storage as much as possible -- like, built-in window seats with storage below, or floating shelves without brackets.

If your space doesn't "smile" at you as you walk into it, you may want to consider organizing and decorating it to make your room a happy place. A happy space, after all, helps make those in it happier.
