Creating Refined Spaces
Creating refined and functional spaces is like a journey of experiments. Maybe you are not 100% sure how it's going to end up. Sometimes the journey is a long one; other times it's a sprint, fast and furious. Either way, it's always fascinating!
HARMONYBALANCE
March 2024:
Human beings are creative and emotional. When we visit someone's home or walk into a commercial building we immediately get a "feel" of the space.
Sometimes it's hard to pinpoint what is "off" with a space and why we feel the way we do. The positive is easier to describe as we, in most cases, intuitively know why we are attracted to the space we entered into; it's the color, style, materials, lighting - and they are all great factors! However, the following two words summarize the refined space best; "harmony" and "balance".
When creating exquisite environments inside and outdoors, those two factors are worth of repeating; harmony and balance. Harmonious spaces are elegant, balanced and cultured in their own genre. Everything "fits" into their surroundings; whether it's a Scandinavian living room or a Muskoka backyard.
The process of getting there might take some time and experiments, failures even - especially when developing a garden (patience, humility in the face of nature's vigor) and willingness to learn what's needed in the process.
I wish you an enjoyable design journey!
