Sweet Design Sunday

For Mental Health Awareness Month

This Mental Health Awareness Month, may your home be more than a backdrop - may it be a balm. A place where light filters in, softness surrounds you, and peace doesn't have to be earned — only received.

Lately, the world has felt heavier. The headlines, the noise, the pressure to keep moving. It all sits on our shoulders in ways we don’t always have language for. And for so many of us—especially in times like these—home becomes more than just a backdrop. It becomes a lifeline.

Your home should be your soft place to land. The space that knows your silence. The corner where your breath returns. The scent of calm in the air after a long, hard day.

During Mental Health Awareness Month, I’ve been reflecting on the connection between our mental wellbeing and the spaces we inhabit. Design isn’t just aesthetic—it’s emotional. It’s memory. It’s safety.

And healing doesn’t always begin in a therapist’s office. Sometimes it starts by clearing out what no longer serves you. That chair that holds too many heavy memories. The clutter that crowds your peace. The colors that no longer reflect your light.

Remove what drains you. Keep what feeds you.

Whether it’s rearranging a room, adding a chair you can curl into, or simply letting more light in—like layering in soft sheers behind blackout drapes—may you create a home that feels like refuge.

You deserve beauty that also feels like safety.

With so much love and strength,

Andrea
