The way we interact with our physical space has a real impact on us. Physically, mentally, and emotionally, our homes help shape us. If the popularity of the Marie Kondo method is any indication, we have very specific needs for our home environment. These include minimal clutter, some level of organization, and a few other things.

But we also want our living space to be aesthetically pleasing. When our homes look beautiful, it helps us feel more at peace. That doesn’t mean it’s easy. The fact that professional home designers go to college to earn a degree proves it.

At home, people have varying levels of success with how they arrange things. But then there are professional designers. Their entire job is to make homes look and feel beautiful. And when they get the chance to do so, they come up with designs that make all of us breathe a sigh of envy.

With the magic of the internet, we get to see the results for ourselves. Sure, we might never set foot in an exotic Thai resort or a New York penthouse. But we get to ogle the beauty online. At the same time, we’ll dream about booking a one-way ticket to those places and never coming back.
