Design a Stress-Free Home: Follow Your Instincts

Look beyond your eyes as you design your new home

By Jackie Craven, About.com Guide

The atmosphere of a room is more than the sum of its decor. Things we cannot explain or even name will exert subtle influence on your emotional state. To create spaces where you will feel at peace, listen closely to your instincts and choose details that resonate for you.

Tranquility Tools

  • Gestalt Psychology: Explore the deeper emotional contexts of rooms and their decor. Reflect on childhood memories of home.

  • Jungian Analysis: Make meaningful artwork the focal point for your rooms. Recall the spaces you see when you dream.
