This week I am working on homes that have just been listed on the market. Many refer to this as staging. I refer to it as aligning the intent of home with the intent of its owner.
Arrangement of interior objects is a true art and one that requires not only vision, but the ability to see and experience the pathways of empty space. In balanced design the space element is the most important. It is the area that is not defined by “things”. Rather than looking first at objects and deciding how to arrange or “declutter” I take the approach of looking at the open space. Walk around, sit in it. Is there room to turn, twist and even dance?
We work hard to keep our bodies detoxed and healthy. We watch our thoughts and focus our minds. Removing the pollution from the interiors where we spend time offers the ability to breathe and move in alignment. I recently read the book, “The Diamond Cutter”, by Geshe Roach and it kept me focused on the fact that in emptiness lies hidden potential.
This week I am working with that hidden potential in two Connecticut homes. In a few weeks I will talk about the results the owners experienced. In the meantime the book is on my “must read” list and can be ordered from amazon.com.
