5 Foundations of Nuanced Home Design
Share
Dear nUanced rebel,
Every home needs a strong foundation. Nuanced Art & Interiors believes our homes can do more for us when we design them based on our values. You, my lovey, choose values that resonate with you.
Nuanced's goal is to help support families who are getting by in survival mode, who don't understand why life is SO hard - not just regular hard, but why does it look like everyone else is managing to do more than me and it's still HARD kind of hard. I am here for families, whoever you are. But you are probably a woman, a mom. And if things are this hard, there is a good chance SOMETHING is going on in your life.
Research is showing now that symptoms of CPTSD (complex post traumatic stress) often show up similarly to ADHD traits. Plus, while at this moment I think of Autism & ADHD as opposite ends of the same spectrum, they also confusingly share overlapping traits.
It could be none of these things. It actually doesn't matter. You do not need a medical diagnosis to need help with emotional regulation, sensory sensitivities, impulsivity, communication, organization & executive function. My world just made a whole lot more sense once I could use the language, ADHD to name what I am experiencing. Medication & therapy also helps.
The more I learn about neurodiversity, the more I hear the world isn't built for us. Which is now an opportunity to create our own world. One that does work for us. And it starts in our own homes. Which is why my values to design spaces around are:
- ADHD & Neurodivergence
- Democratic Design
- Parenting
- Feminism
- Joy, Play & Fun.
Each concept has it's own post to dive deeper!
Our interiors are untapped resources, overlooked places to creatively add structure & tools to help carry some of the weight of living, raising kids & being a human in a world that was not originally designed for us.
