When you settle into a chair with a good book, notice how your eyes react to the page. They just might be telling you they want more light. A reading lamp beside you can provide relief without lighting up the whole room, which is why the overhead light might stay off.

When choosing lighting for your home: think about what you want to do in each part of the room. Reading in a chair, finding something on a shelf, and having friends over may call for different lighting. A room becomes easier to use when you can choose the light that suits the moment.

A porch can be beautifully furnished and still sit empty in the afternoon. If sunlight falls directly across the chairs, everyone may choose to stay inside.

That makes shade part of how the porch is used. The position of a roof, a tree, or a chair can help determine whether it becomes a place for a long conversation or somewhere people simply pass through.

Looking at a home this way changes the design question. Alongside how a space looks, we need to consider what makes us want to spend time there.

Every home begins with a possibility: that the way we shape our surroundings might bring us closer to the life we want to live.

✨The mornings you hope to have.
✨The people you gather around your table.
✨The quiet you look forward to when the day is done.

At Wellness Design Group, these are the conversations that guide our work. We bring a deeper understanding of people, their surroundings, and the natural world into making a home, a home. Together, we explore how light, sound, materials, and connections to nature can shape a place that feels personal and makes room for the life you want. We’re here to help you carry those hopes into the choices that make a home your own.

What would you say if someone asked you, “what does living beautifully mean?”

For me, living beautifully is the art of weaving nature’s whispers into the walls we call home, where sunlight dances with shadows and fresh air breathes life into every corner. It’s about crafting sanctuaries that cradle the soul, where the rhythm of the earth echoes in each detail, nurturing health and harmony. Here, beauty isn’t just seen—it’s felt, a seamless blend of nature’s grace and the science of well-being.

After all, nature is our original design mentor 🌱

In the news!

We couldn’t be more excited to have been featured in Gulfshore Life magazine’s Healthy Life issue ✨

What a perfect time to push the wellness conversation toward Place. We believe the places we inhabit are never neutral. They influenced the rhythms of our days, the quality of our relationships, our capacity to restore, our ability to focus, and even the way we care for the people and the places around us. Every environment participates in human experience, whether intentionally designed or not.

Thank you to annamarie for listening to our story, to the magazine for opening the conversation, and to our fellow designers helping to push the boundaries one step closer to a life better designed. 😉

Shocker… I love the color blue💙🩵 I find it soooo soothing and wearing blue makes me feel like myself in any situation. So, it’s no surprise that you’ll find moments of blue throughout my home.

Color plays an important role in our everyday lives - Our feelings, personalities, memories, actions, and even dreams are associated with color.

Did you know that color also plays a major role in improving our health and well-being?

It’s true, our mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health can be enhanced or, on the flip side, wrecked by color. Color can lower your blood pressure, increase your metabolism, make you feel calm, soothe your eyes, energize you, and increase serotonin - the happy hormone.

Because color creates emotional and physical responses, it’s important to consider colors carefully when designing your space.

My advice to our clients is to choose colors that make YOU feel amazing.

Taking time to dream, sketch, brainstorm, and ideate is imperative when it comes to creating unique spaces and designs that set us apart. To be honest, we could spend all of our time dreaming up new ways to add plants to all of our biophilic interior plans 😉

We have a few things in the works and are spending our summer in creation mode.

Feel free to share any of your ideas or things you’d like to see us create in the comments below👇🏻 It’s shaping up to be a fun summer.

Don’t you just love seeing a vision come to life?

It’s a magical moment when a project reaches the final stages of completion. Simply put, it is “abstract chaos transitioning to tangible reality.”

🔔Teaser Alert: As we make the final selections of this beautifully photographed space, we’re putting the finishing touches on the story of how this spa-bungalow by the sea came to life. We’ll be sharing all very soon.
