Many studies have shown that color and light will trigger strong physiological and emotional responses. Serene spaces make full use of mood-enhancing full-spectrum lighting combined with healing colors drawn from earth, sea, and sky.
Other sensual details, selected for their soothing properties and medicinal powers, add richness and texture to the atmosphere. The gentle notes of a wind chime, the restful scent of lavender, and perhaps even the energizing taste of strawberries become as important to the room as its furnishings.
