Holistic Design

“The ambience and energy which interiors will exuberate is simply amazing when holistic interiors governs the approach”

Isn’t it amazing? We love colors and we believe in the warmth of homes and structures giving a good feeling about the space we live in or choose to be – however there is a greater science and here we have Ms. Pooja Srivastava, Holistic Designer who loves to add value with her inspirations on Holistic Designs Says Pooja Srivastava, ‘Holistically Designed rooms in your home serve its highest purpose, create eco-friendly spaces, bring nature indoors, guides flow of energy and creates a peaceful and organic home’. ‘Holistic interior design is not only about designing spaces for clients, but finding a holistic design solution for yourself and your business which supports your life purpose. With 90% of our time spent inside four walls, people have started to realize that the spaces they occupy have a huge effect on them – Physically, Emotional- ly and Visually. Bad design can lead to employees being disengaged from their work and left feeling undervalued because they find the environment they work in as ‘depressing’. Homes become stressful and hard to manage as bad layout, lack of storage and clutter become overwhelming for the families living in them. It is also helpful to know that restaurants and shops go out of business as people find them ‘uninviting’ to be in. These are issues which need a little more than a quick swab of paint to resolve – but all are resolvable. You just need to search a little deeper for the answer – as its all interconnected to how someone feels in a space – there are lots of threads to pull together to solve the problem. It has become an aspect of design that many have begun to be mindful of. Health and wellness in buildings is becoming a revolution with people like Oliver Heath and Kitchen god Johnny Grey leading the way. So, lets quickly break it down into the three aspects we want to address to create full content-ment in interiors.

The Physical Ambience

When designing look at how people function in a space – how do they flow from one thing to the  next? What are their lifestyle and their little routines? Says Ms. Pooja, ‘we need to think through them all and start to plot layouts around the fact file. It is only right to think of the things people ‘feel’ physically. Such thoughts as ‘does my client feel uncomfort- able with his back to the door’ is also important when creating the client’s workspace or living space – yes all of these factors go into building a layout that flows with the person who is in the room and makes them feel physically comfortable in their space.

The Emotional Rendezvous

This is the hardest of the three to address but in many ways the most exciting as it stretches beyond just designing skills and into the areas of Color Psychology – Psychology and even Neuro-science. This is what makes people happy and unhappy in a building, and it can cause them to make healthy or unhealthy choices. The research in this area is very refreshing and certainly fascinating. The expressive fact is that it is the one aspect which I s hard to quantify – People know what they are feeling, but they find it hard to pin point to their environments – that is why it is within a designer’s parameters to SWOT up and blend the good stuff into the design.

The Visual Essence

Like the designs and textures which build us, the space too needs to be decorated and needs to speak about who we are – the style we love, the beautiful aura we fill our homes with, the whole work of art that tells our story – we pick hotels and restaurants to visit because we love the look of them. Things we find beautiful make up happy – the visual side of interiors is so important. The holistic interior design is moving towards the sustainability and green design movements; As Einstein proved, everything in existence sentiment and non-sentiment is a field of energy, “It makes sense why the holistic interior design revolution is the future’. The incorporation needed is to incorporate holistic interior design into your business The thought process needs to be to think about the way in which our design work can help people to rejuvenate, recharge and support their deepest desires, whatever be the structural or functional need.
Points to consider
• The intention needs to be to tune the space as per sola per solar, potential or kinetic energy.
• Holistic interior design today takes into account what your client wants to feel when they are in the room – it also takes into account how they want to express themselves in such surroundings and feel in harmony.
• Holistic Interior design is simply translating what your client needs to express on a soul level to feel at peace in their home.
• Holistic interiors re-energize the occupants from a long day of work by boosting their mood or making relaxation easier or finally creating a space to help them make the time for that hobby they’ve been interested in.
• Holistic Interior Design puts all of the pieces together and strives to bring delight, wellness and contentment to the people using the spaces we design for them.
