Have you ever walked into a room and felt immediately relaxed and at ease? Or maybe the opposite - you visit a friend’s house and can’t help feeling stressed out the whole time. The interior design of a room can actually impact people’s mood and emotions. The color, the lighting, and the design can alter how people feel. Sometimes, the entire room can convey an emotion or mood.

Our lives are packed, and modern interior design trends are reflecting the need to fit more and more into our schedules. Friends, family, work, spirituality, personal care, etc.—it all needs to fit into the finite amount of time comprising any given day or week, and the environments in which we spend our time should facilitate our easy accomplishment of the tasks that matter most! So, it makes sense that current remodeling trends have zeroed in on multi-functional design concepts. But, neither designers nor homeowners are prioritizing function over form entirely; the aesthetics are still crucial!
