How To Design An Interior Space That Truly “Sparks Joy!”
Marie Kondo—the world-renowned organizing and tidying expert popularized the phrase “sparks joy” in her book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and the subsequent Netflix show. According to her, a space that sparks joy consists only of things that brings you genuine happiness. Now, you might be thinking about the many household items that are around your house that you rarely associate with joy—a random dish towel for example. Are you supposed to just throw it away? According to Kondo’s method, you have to purposefully touch your item, and if it does not make your heart flutter with happiness, you have to thank it for being a part of your life, and then part ways with it by donating it or throwing it away.
A space that only holds items that bring you happiness also brings a sense of peace that you cannot achieve when you are surrounded by clutter. Let us give you a few tips to make sure your next interior design project or home renovation sparks joy and love.
Minimalism or adapting to a simple and free lifestyle that requires fewer possessions is at the core of creating a peaceful and joyful interior. However, it does not mean that your space has to be fully void of personality. In fact, careful selection of what you want to include in your interior means that it is as personal as it can be. It means each and every item that you decide to include in your design has a personal purpose and a story behind it. From buying exactly the pieces of furniture that you love to the final layout you chose to arrange them in your home, make every move personal and special for yourself.
Clutter creates chaos. While fewer things mean more space, if you are someone who likes to hold on to your valuables without throwing them away, you can always go for smart and strategic storage solutions in your home. In fact, one of the most effective decluttering methods most organizers recommend is to have a good storage system. This way, you can keep your everyday living space clutter-free without having to go through the worry of throwing away your valuable. Even when you purchase decorative items and other regular furniture items, look for the ones that come with hidden storage options.
Quality over quantity, less is more, simplicity is sophistication—these are just a few catchy ways of expressing the value of having fewer things. This concept goes beyond frugality and simply not spending money. It is about ensuring that you value the quality of the things you own over the quantity. You can incorporate this concept into interior design by investing in timeless decorative pieces that are also durable, rather than opting for several aesthetically pleasing items of less value. It is about learning to appreciate the beauty of negative space, or not feeling the need to fill every space with something.
Going back to the core concept of creating a space that sparks joy in your mind, it ultimately comes down to things that inspire you positively. When you are surrounded by things that inspire you, you tend to be in a perpetual state of peace and joy. Think outside of the box and use items that truly inspire you when you design your home. Do you have a book that gives you a soft nudge to be more mindful whenever you see it? Display it as a decorative item on your coffee table. Are there travel souvenirs that make you happy? Do not be afraid to use them in your design no matter how quirky and mismatched they may feel. Select the precious things that truly inspire you and spark joy in your heart, and create a space that brings you peace and happiness always!
