Description
Design For Your Mind takes a refreshing look at how we can create spaces to support our emotional and intellectual needs–now, and for the rest of our lives.
Author Annie Guest tells how she drew on her background as a mental health therapist to renovate her house and recharge her life after years of family caregiving. She takes us through her process, room by room, always with an eye to pursuing the purpose of the room and its potential to support creativity and focus and to promote healthy living. Annie shows how she achieved big results without spending a fortune. The book is filled with some 95 'Before' and 'After' photos and stories, and discussions of the science behind good design are lively and easy to follow.
Design For Your Mind explores what we humans need to thrive, and it's sure to spark ideas of your own. Whether you're designing rooms to find the perfect balance between excitement and comfort, creating spaces that help you stay organized and productive, looking for ways to mix family heirlooms with contemporary decor, or switching things up to give yourself a lift, Design For Your Mind is the guide you need.
Advance Praise
At the heart of Design for Your Mind, is a focus on the fundamental relationship between our environment and our mental and emotional health. It's not simply about creating beautiful rooms, it's about crafting spaces that foster comfort, stability and a sense of personal connection. As the full title clearly states, Guest astutely recognizes that knowing a little something about how our brains work can be a game-changer when it comes to creating a space we truly love.
