The Energy of Spaces – How Your Environment is Shaping Your Mood Without You Even Realising It!
The Hotel Room Epiphany
Have you ever walked into a hotel room and immediately felt lighter? The perfectly made bed, the uncluttered surfaces, the soft lighting—it’s like a breath of fresh air. For a moment, you feel at peace, free, and calm.
Then, after a few days, you go home. You drop your bags at the door, glance at the overflowing laundry basket, sigh at the dishes in the sink, and suddenly, that calm disappears.
Why? Because spaces hold energy.
Your environment isn’t just a collection of walls and furniture—it’s an ecosystem of energy, emotion, and subconscious influence. And whether you realise it or not, the space you live in is shaping how you feel every single day.
So, let’s talk about how your environment is affecting you in ways you might not expect—and how you can take back control of the energy of your space.
The Emotional Imprint of a Room
I once stayed in an Airbnb that just felt off. There was nothing visibly wrong with it—everything was spotless, modern, and well-maintained—but the moment I walked in, there was this strange, heavy energy in the air. I couldn’t relax, I tossed and turned all night, and for no logical reason, I felt uneasy.
I’ll never know exactly why the space carried that energy, but I felt it, undeniably.
The same thing happens in your own home. Every argument, every stressful moment, every lingering worry—your space absorbs it all. Over time, these emotions settle into the walls, the air, and even the objects around you, shaping how you feel without you even realising it.
HOW TO Reclaim the Energy of Your Home
If your home has held more stress than fun lately, it might need a refresh.
Open the windows: Let stagnant energy escape. Even five minutes can shift the air.
Shake things up: Move furniture, switch out decor, or add fresh flowers to break up old energy.
Say it out loud: It might sound silly, but say, “This home is a place of peace, love, and happiness.” Your words carry energy, too.
Your space should feel like a sanctuary, not a storage unit of past stress.
The Secret Messages in Your Home
Your home is constantly talking to you.
Every pile of unfolded laundry says, “You never have enough time.”
Every broken drawer says, “You settle for less.”
Every piece of decor you don’t love says, “You don’t deserve beauty.”
Without realising it, these things send subconscious messages about your life.
WHAT TO DO TO Align Your Space with Your Desires
What do you want more of in life? Peace? Love? Creativity? Confidence? Money?
Then make sure your home reflects that.
Want inspiration? Hang up art that sparks excitement.
Want relaxation? Make your seating area feel cosy and inviting.
Want romance? Create an environment that feels sexy—soft lighting, cosy textures, beautiful scents.
Your home should be a vision board for the life you want.
The Science of Feeling “Off” in a Space
Have you ever walked into a room and felt instantly uneasy? Maybe you can’t put your finger on it, but something just feels off.
There’s science behind this. Our brains process our surroundings faster than we consciously realise.
A room with harsh angles, low lighting, or cramped space can trigger a stress response.
A lack of natural elements (plants, sunlight, fresh air) can make us feel disconnected and low-energy.
A space that’s too cold, too empty, or too sterile can feel unwelcoming and uninspiring.
SO .. YOU NEED TO Design for Emotional Comfort
Next time you feel uneasy in a space, ask yourself: What’s missing?
Lacking warmth? Add plants, softer lighting, or warmer tones.
Too dark? Bring in a lamp or change to daylight bulbs.
Too sterile? Layer in textures—rugs, pillows, blankets.
We are deeply wired to respond to our environments. Make sure yours is supporting you.
Your Environment will match Your Energy. Protect It.
Your home should not be a dumping ground for stress, unfinished tasks, or emotional baggage. It should be a place that recharges you.
That means:
✅ Saying NO to keeping things that make you feel guilty, obligated, or uninspired.
✅ Saying YES to creating an environment that lifts you up, not weighs you down.
✅ Taking ownership of your space—not just decorating it, but curating the energy within it.
Your home is not just a place. It’s an experience. Make it one that FEELS good.
Your Home Is Listening—What Are You Telling It?
I challenge you to walk into your home today with fresh eyes.
Pretend you’re a guest entering for the first time.
How does it feel?
Does it make you breathe easier or tense up?
Does it reflect who you are NOW—or who you used to be?
Does it support the person you’re becoming?
Your home is alive with energy, and every choice you make shapes it.
So, what do you want your home to say about you?
