Moodspace Theory
Our Core Belief
At Moodspace, we believe your environment has the power to support your healing.
What Makes a Moodspace
The Moodspace Method™ was born from lived experience and emotional recovery. It’s based on the idea that your space isn’t just where you live — it reflects your inner world. When curated with care, a room can offer comfort, clarity, and resilience.
More Than Just Decor
A true Moodspace isn’t about trends — it’s about meaning. Every item, layout choice, and detail is chosen to create a feeling:
Calm. Joy. Grounding. Hope.
It’s intentional, personal, and deeply supportive.
Designed for You — Not for Show
We design spaces to affirm your worth — not to impress others. Nothing we publish is anything we wouldn’t proudly live in ourselves. That’s how we build trust — with honesty, care, and emotional integrity.
An Evolving Method
The Moodspace Method is always growing — shaped by real stories, feedback, and lived truths.
But our mission stays the same:
To create rooms that don’t just look beautiful —
they help you feel better in a world that often forgets how heavy life can be.
Because healing starts with a space that finally feels like it sees you.
The Space That Inspired It All
Where Healing Became Design and Design Became Purpose
Moodspace was born during a pivotal moment in my life — one marked by both personal challenge and profound transformation.
Though I had always thrived professionally, managing mental health while building a career proved uniquely demanding. During a particularly difficult chapter, I entered inpatient mental health treatment. Upon discharge, I was adjusting to outpatient care, a full-time job, and an unexpected transition in my personal life that required me to find a new place to live — and quickly.
That apartment became my starting point. It was the first space I could truly call my own — and the first space I could design entirely for my own healing.
What began as a coping mechanism soon became a practice of deep intention. I spent months curating each room, not just to make it beautiful, but to make it emotionally supportive. Every detail mattered — every color, texture, and item was chosen with care. I often sat quietly in a room just to feel what it needed, adjusting pieces until the space felt whole.
As I spent more time reflecting in those rooms, I noticed something powerful:
The way I designed my environment had a real impact on how I felt.
Different rooms offered different forms of healing — clarity, calm, strength, even joy.
That experience showed me two things:
- If this process helped me feel more grounded, maybe it could help others too.
- There’s still not enough conversation about the realities of navigating mental health in professional environments.
And so Moodspace was born — not just as a design brand, but as a platform.
One that uses intentional design to support emotional wellness and shed light on the often invisible challenges so many people carry, especially in the workplace.
Below, you’ll find images of the apartment where it all began.
This space helped me rebuild — and I hope it inspires you, too.
My First Moodspace
Take a scroll through my portfolio to explore the very first Moodspace I ever created — with personal notes on the intention, emotion, and thought behind each design choice.
A Moodful Kitchen
The neutral tones already brought a sense of calm, but something was missing: color and joy. The vibrant greenery brought the space to life, while the bold checkered pattern added a playful edge. At the center, a tray adorned with two cheetahs — personal symbols of strength — reminded me daily of my resilience. This kitchen became more than functional; it became a reflection of who I was becoming.
A Soft Place to Land
The couch became my favorite place — to relax, to work, to feel grounded. It's where I unwind, reflect, and connect with myself. I chose shades of yellow to bring warmth and happiness into the space — a gentle reminder of light, even on harder days. The checkered tissue box continues the visual rhythm from the kitchen, while the tree and lounging cat add small, joyful moments that make the space feel alive. It’s not just a couch — it’s a soft place to land.
The Heart of My Ambition
This office was the true beginning of Moodspace. As someone who works from home, I knew my workspace had to be more than functional — it needed to inspire and comfort me every day. I chose a creative piece of motivational art to keep me focused, and added a sculptural abstract wall piece to reflect my love for modern art. A canvas offering gentle mental health guidance anchors the space with intention, while gold accents across the desk bring a touch of luxury — a small but powerful reminder that I deserve beauty even while I work. It’s not just an office — it’s where purpose, healing, and ambition meet.
The Art of Duality
The heart of any well-designed space is the art you choose to live with. I’ve always been drawn to modern and abstract pieces — there's something powerful about seeing beauty in what appears chaotic. The colorful canvas honors the disorder I’ve experienced in life, a reminder that even pain can become something expressive and vibrant. The black and white print beside it brings contrast — a quiet representation of structure, control, and clarity. Together, they reflect the balance I strive for: honoring the mess while finding peace in it.
Grounded in Comfort
The bedroom should be the ultimate expression of rest — a space that invites you to breathe deeper and feel held. The clean, modern frame of the bed reflects my love for contemporary design, while the warm wood tones ground the room in calm. I’m intentional about every layer: the artwork, the pillows, the textiles — each element chosen to bring both beauty and comfort. While the colors on the bed shift with time, I always incorporate multiple tones. There’s something joyful about making your bed feel like a composition — a soft, functional work of art.
Contrast with Intention
Throughout my home, you’ll notice a playful theme: animals. With two dogs and three cats, animals have always been a source of comfort and joy for me — so incorporating them into my art and decor was natural. In this bathroom, I layered that joy with intentional contrast. The artwork brings warmth and lightness, while the gold and yellow tones introduce a feeling of cheer and personality. Black accents ground the space, adding just the right amount of sophistication and calm. It’s simple, but it feels joyful — and just a little luxe.
Home in Color
The living room should be a space where the soul feels both awake and at ease. I layered grounding tones like deep green to inspire calm, while brighter hues — orange, yellow, and warm wood — offer a gentle lift in energy. Gold accents and a few carefully chosen luxury brand books reflect my love for elegance and detail, proving that calm and luxury can absolutely coexist. The fireplace brings it all together — a symbol of warmth, connection, and the kind of space where memories are made. This isn’t just a living room. It’s where life unfolds.
Where Wonder Lives
If you look closely, you’ll notice a quiet theme throughout my home — astronauts. From two paintings to a small statue, and even a galaxy projector that casts stars across my bedroom ceiling, space is woven into my everyday surroundings. For me, outer space represents perspective, possibility, and awe. When I think about the vastness beyond us — the silence, the mystery, the beauty — it grounds me. It reminds me how much wonder still exists. Including these pieces in my home isn’t just about style — it’s about staying connected to the thoughts that calm, inspire, and expand me.
A Softer Note in the Flow
I believe every wall deserves attention — even if that detail is quiet. This subtle yet striking cat print is one of my favorite pieces to pass by as I walk from the bedroom into the kitchen. Its black and white tones offer a soft contrast to the more colorful artwork in the living room and hallway, creating a moment of visual calm. It’s a gentle pause — a reminder that not every accent needs to shout to make an impact. And as someone who finds joy in animals, it’s a little piece of personality woven seamlessly into the flow of the home.
Play Meets Purpose
For animal lovers, design can be playful and beautiful at the same time. There’s so much potential to turn pet furniture and accessories into something that feels like art. I fell in love with the globe — watching my cats peer out at me while I worked never fails to make me smile. I added the staircase separately, and together they bring a unique rhythm to the space. It’s functional, fun, and full of personality — proof that even the most whimsical pieces can flow effortlessly with thoughtful design.
The Art of Doing Less
This is the primary bathroom — and while it's the largest in the home, I intentionally chose not to fill it with more. I didn’t need “stuff”; I needed stillness. The centerpiece is a Monet print I’ve carried with me for over a decade — a piece someone was giving away back in undergrad that’s traveled with me ever since. Inspired by its softness, I built the space around it: layering in warm wood tones to echo the rest of the home and soft, light-colored towels that mirror the artwork. The space is simple, clean, and calming — exactly the feeling I wanted to evoke. It’s proof that intentional restraint can be just as powerful as bold design.
