4 Designers Weigh In on Why Design & Happiness Go Hand-In-Hand

“Happiness isn’t something that begins or ends – it’s fluid. What makes us happy today may not make us happy next month. Design is our chance to take charge of that happiness and continually craft spaces that make us happy everyday. ” – Noa Santos, Co-Owner of Homepolish

“Happiness is about the small things. In design small things can also make a big difference – whether it’s a paint color, lamp or piece of artwork.” – Anthony Gianacakos, Founder of Anthony George Home

“Your home is a reflection of who you are. But more importantly, a space designed with function and purpose in mind, besides just aesthetics, helps a person be more efficient with their time and use of space. Being organized leaves you time to do the things that make you happy.” – Soledad Alzaga, Founder of Soledad Alzaga Interior Design

“Happiness is a cup of coffee, tea or glass of wine in a kitchen, bedroom or sitting room you love. Regardless of the size of your home, take the time to create a small space on earth where you can take a deep breath and process life.” – Cecily Mendell, Founder of Cecy J Interiors

We want to make it clear that being obsessed about how your home looks does not necessarily mean that you are just concerned about keeping up with the Jones’. We believe that a great designed space can have a profound spiritual impact on your daily-life. Whether you realize it or not, what you have surrounding you affects how you feel and how you function in your home. After-all don’t we all love taking vacations in beautiful hotels because it helps us unwind? It’s our mission at Rue to help you get your home to a place you want it to be. But what are the possible impacts, how does happiness (something non-material) become affected by the design of your home (something material)? We asked our interior designer friends to weigh in.
