Interior Design: A Journey from Survival to Thriving

Interior Design: A Journey from Survival to Thriving

When our living spaces are reduced to the bare essentials, a mere shelter to protect us from the external elements, we find ourselves in a constant state of survival mode. The minimalist approach might seem practical, but it can inadvertently reflect a mindset rooted in the struggle for existence. The bare necessities may fulfill functional requirements, but they often lack the depth and intentionality that can elevate our consciousness.

Engage the olfactory senses with scented candles. A subtle fragrance is preferable since not everyone may appreciate strong scents. My personal favorites from Diptyque and Trudon include vanilla, firewood, and basil. This creates a warm and inviting ambiance that complements the visual elements of your decor. Remember to blow out the scented candles before you start eating. You wouldn't want their fragrance to interfere with your meal.
