A beautifully illustrated guide to harnessing interior design as a tool for personal transformation
What if your home could change your life? Starting with a radically simple idea-that we are shaped by the spaces we inhabit-in this book "Spatial Alchemist" Olga Naiman reveals her unique step-by-step road map for personal empowerment and evolution through home design. Like the ancient alchemists, she'll teach you the secrets of shaping the mundane into the magical. It starts with reversing the usual order of interior design: Instead of looking outward to the space first, you'll turn inward to uncover who you want to be and what you want to manifest in your life. Then you'll begin the process of deliberately designing your space to better serve your personal goals, support your emotional needs, and offer comfort to your body and mind. Along the way, you'll learn to:
- Harness the power of color, texture, and symbolism to shift the energy in your home.
- Choose an "emotional regulation chair" to invite softness and ease at the end of a challenging day.
- Create an altar to your Future Self.
- Discover how objects like mirrors, candelabras, and thick-pile rugs can have a profound effect on both your psyche and your space.
- And so much more!
Through this one-of-a-kind journey, you'll create a home that's beautiful, functional, and magnetic, and set yourself on a path to a life filled with more meaning and pleasure.
