If one picture = 1,000 words
What does a lived experience equal?
“When I got rid of that big credenza, I felt like I was pushing it off my chest. Once that was gone, I could breathe a little easier, and the process flowed more freely.” Abby
“I needed a change but felt stuck and unable to change the flow of the room. Did not know where to begin, felt overwhelmed, and lacked the energy for the task.
It took a while to absorb the concept, but then it all made sense, the flow started, and the changes were finally happening. The room now feels better organized, we all got our own private spaces within the same room (even the cats!)” Ana

“I was traveling 75% of the time and I wanted to come home and decompress, but I couldn’t. I felt uneasy in my space and the cycle of buying, purging, and rearranging was no longer an option — then almost everything changed.” Lyndsay

Some pictures tell a greater story than others.
I tried to do this website without any before & after pictures — which I know is unheard of for an interior design-centric company. Bring Life Love Into Spaces (aka BLLIS) invites us to go beyond what we see and dig deeper into how we feel and function within the space — and out of it.
A daily reminder in braille that spaces are meant to be felt and experienced, not only seen, was actually the starting point for BLLIS.
BLLIS focuses on:
What: space flow, lighting, plants, art, mirrors, furniture placement, airflow, colors, texture, fragrances, sounds, decluttering, views, personal expression
Can do: create movement and momentum, support cognitive performance, reduce stress, increase visual perspective and bring in light, increase perceived safety and comfort, increase pleasure, provide a calming effect (or a stimulating one), provide tranquility, reduce blood pressure, reduce depression for
the people who experience the space everyday — with a strong conviction that a thoughtful rearrangement can go a long way.
“It's not the decoration in itself, it's the flow and feeling within the space.”
