A good hallway or entryway has the potential to create a lovely vignette in the home, a brief moment of art, color & texture as you pass through the space.

Even the smallest corners of your home can have their own special moment.

Did you know interior design affects your mental health?✨

According to Chloe Taylor in Psychology Tomorrow magazine,
"Interior design elements evoke a positive or negative emotional response in people. These findings open the door to design spaces that consciously manipulate decorative elements with the goal of encouraging creativity, peace, and happiness."🤍

While many elements of interior design have been associated with improved mental health, there are a few components that seem to be mentioned again and again.
-Sunlight
-Spaciousness
-Plants and flowers
-Natural elements
-Color
-Artwork

When used correctly, each of these design elements can create an environment conducive to reducing stress, anxiety, and depression!

Let's talk about Dutch Doors!

The Dutch Door became known in the 17th century in the Netherlands, and many believe they were created on farmhouse doors. By keeping the bottom half of the door closed and the top open, they helped to keep the animals outside of the house but the children inside while allowing a breeze and preventing dust from coming inside.

Today, they are most commonly built for aesthetic purposes, offering beauty and complexity to your interior design.

With our beautiful California weather, would you add a Dutch Door to your home!?
