Creating Luminous Spaces

On Interior Design, Biophilic Design, and the Five Elements of Feng Shui

Ancient and global modern design come together in this down-to-earth workbook and guide for home interiors.

Fun with feng shui. The Five Elements of feng shui refer to an ancient Chinese system that brings the cycles and benefits of nature to your home interior. Part spiritual growth workbook and part treatise on the power of nature, Creating Luminous Spaces brings an energy boost to home interior design.

Nature's elements (of style). Discover which of nature's elements represents your energy. Should you enhance your home with natural light or a fish bowl? New organizational habits or tall, vertical lines? Featuring practical exercises, meditations, and real stories about clients and students, as you embark on this mind-body-spirit connection with your home, you'll find out how:

• Indoor lighting and lighting design can strengthen the fire element
• Organizational behavior is influenced by the metal element
• Space planning with plants nourishes the wood element
