"This is the first, wildest and wisest thing I know, that the soul exists,
and that it is built entirely out of attentiveness.” -Mary Oliver
What is sacred interior design?
On a basic level, sacred interior design means taking a sacred approach when designing a space. It means that close attention and, most importantly, intention are infused into every part of the process because, as the quote above says, when we bring our full presence and attention to something, it comes alive.The sacred describes something that inspires awe or reverence or is worthy of devotion. In my view, the sacred exists anywhere Life and Soul naturally reside, but we can also create sacred spaces and infuse them with life by approaching them with openness, curiosity and a creative spirit. Because we all have souls (those deeper, spiritual aspects of ourselves), it’s critical that our homes be both living spaces and soul-full spaces that reflect our truest selves.
Interior design can be a purely materialistic and rather shallow pursuit leaving our homes feeling more like sterile, lifeless museums than homes. Or, if one engages the process in a more mindful, curious, and intentional way, it can be a profound and highly creative process of exploring and expressing our deepest selves. Contrary to the cookie cutter, corporate-style trends prevalent on Pinterest and in style magazines, my approach to interior design utilizes ancient feng shui principles, intention setting rituals, connection to your land, and a guided discovery process. This process invites you into a deeper relationship with yourself and the natural world, and ultimately results in a home that reflects your unique soul.
Together we will transform your home into a sanctuary where your body can relax and Soul can flourish.
Photos of the Redwood Rose, the home I designed and built.
“Elemental Interiors completely uplifted and transformed my cluttered gray interior into a colorful tapestry that reflects much more of my personality. My house is now a home in which energy is able to move freely and supports my body, mind & spirit. I work long hours & being able to now come home to a sanctuary that supports who I am and aspire to be has been the most fundamental investment I’ve made in myself in the last decade. I highly recommend a consultation with Rosalyn to see how she can work with you to create a living space that inspires & nourishes your life!”
“I loved my design sessions with Rosalyn. I have a redwood cabin with wood panels and was lost in how to decorate my living room, which receives little natural light. Rosalyn gave me gorgeous, accessible and practical ideas on how to brighten and bring more life to my home. It’s obvious that she loves what she does and has a special gift and eye for design. She tapped right into the boho-chic style that I wanted and presented design elements I never would have thought to try. With a map of where I can go and permission to experiment, my living room is transforming and I have more confidence in my own decision-making process. Creating a true home is a process of devotion and if you want someone who understands this on both the inner and material levels, you won’t be disappointed with her guidance.”

Sacred Design includes Nature
Why include nature? We include nature because first, it is our true home. We wouldn’t be able to exist without the earth. Second, we have evolved with the earth since its inception and are therefore dependent on it and intimately interwoven with it. For most of human history, we lived in nature, and because of this our bodies are biologically wired to be in nature most of the time. When we sit down on a fallen log in the forest, or crouch down next to a stream, or listen to the waves of the ocean, our bodies naturally relax, our breath expands, and a sense of balance is restored.
I believe many of our personal and social problems are rooted in the fact that most people now spend the majority of their time indoors, disconnected from their natural home. I believe our bodies and nervous systems are no longer being nourished by the elements in the way they have throughout history and, as a result, we are deeply suffering for it. For these reasons it is vitally important to bring as many natural elements (wood, stone, metal, water, plants) into our homes as we can.
This is why my design style is “Biophillic,” literally meaning “love of life.” Biophillic design brings natural elements into a space and mimics the curves, shapes and even geometry found in nature to make it more attractive and resonant with the senses. This creates a more integrated, relaxing, comforting and restorative environment.
In a world that feels increasingly chaotic and lost, it becomes essential to surround ourselves with what we know is most true and meaningful. Nature and the soul are the most real things I know. Nature has and always will be our real home, and our bodies and souls thrive in her embrace. Honoring Her and what is most sacred to us in our homes can turn them into touchstones or daily reminders of what is real, who we are, and what matters most thereby helping us remain sane and grounded in whatever the future may bring.
I am committed to creating living spaces that promote healing and growth. I believe that every home is a sacred space waiting to be seen and brought to life!
