3 Ideas to Make Your Space More Livable

Updated: May 12, 2021

Architect Michelle Linden's top tips that anyone can do to improve their environments.

Earlier this year in an extensive interview with Michelle Linden, co-owner and principal architect of ATELIER DROME architecture + interior design, we asked her to share 3 things anyone can do in their home or work environment RIGHT NOW that would make their space more livable or pleasant to be in. Here are her timeless answers.

1. Stop trying to design your home for everyone else (for resale, for the latest Pinterest trends, etc). We are all unique and our homes should be an expression of that, reflecting who we are and not who we think we should be.
 


 
2. Marie Kondo is right. Get rid of anything that doesn’t make you happy. We’re all surrounded by so much clutter, and now that we’re spending even more time in our homes, that clutter can be suffocating.
 


 
3. Add some plants!
