More Than a Feeling: The Research Behind Moodspace

Moodspace was born from instinct — from a deep, personal understanding of how spaces can shape how we feel. What began as an emotional and creative practice rooted in years of mental health challenges has since revealed itself to align with a growing body of research: interior design can significantly impact emotional well-being.

The Moodspace Method isn’t clinical. It doesn’t come from a textbook. It comes from lived experience — from navigating trauma, healing, and resilience, and from learning to trust what feels grounding, inspiring, and safe. A true Moodspace is created by a curator who has developed emotional intelligence through hardship and has the creative vision to design spaces that are both functional and emotionally restorative.

Every room is curated with painstaking attention to detail. Nothing is placed arbitrarily — each item resonated with me personally, and the arrangement is intentional. Together, these elements become more than design; they become an experience that calms, uplifts, or comforts depending on what’s needed most.

As you explore the rooms, I encourage you to pay attention to what speaks to you. Choose pieces that bring you real joy — not out of impulse, but out of trust in what resonates with your spirit.

And while the Moodspace Method is grounded in intuition, my background as a scientist made it important to also share evidence: there is real research supporting the idea that interior environments affect how we feel, think, and cope. That’s why you’ll also find selected scientific resources throughout the site — because the emotional power of design is both deeply personal and beautifully universal.
