Ornament and Purpose. Imagine your home with only the bare essentials in it. Remove anything that does not have a specific use. Now choose one or two items just for decoration. You will see and feel an enormous difference.

Mindfulness - Each article in your home produces a conscious and purposeful environment. Choose each item with determination. By doing so, you create space for ideas to grow and breathing room for your spiritual life.

Light - Even placing a simple sculpting strategically in your home will create ever-changing dynamics throughout the day and result in a flow of positive energy that inspires you, your partner and your guests.

Colors - Pick Earth tones and allow your apartment or house to reflect a harmonious palette of possibilities. Keep any objects that are artless out of your space, this will contribute to the overall effect.
