In this book, Melissa Penfold turns her attention from the basics of interior decorating to demonstrating what a powerful force design can be in boosting our physical and emotional well-being. Each chapter is devoted to an aspect of healthy, life-enhancing design, including ‘Ease,’ ‘Flow,’ ‘Light,’ ‘Nature,’ ‘Timelessness,’ and ‘Awe.’ All underscore the importance of introducing lots of natural light; using natural, non-toxic materials (clay plaster, timber, stone); incorporating nature into our homes, whether through views of the outside world or by filling our interior with plants; creating lots of storage (mess is stress); and recognising the power that colour has on our state of mind.
