where design meets wellbeing
Welcome to Kaye Preston Studio – Design for Wellbeing
At Kaye Preston Studio, wellness design is a philosophy rooted in creating spaces that nurture both physical and mental health. By considering every element of the built environment, we craft interiors that enhance daily living and foster wellbeing. Drawing inspiration from WELL Accreditation principles and holistic health coaching, our methodology is grounded in thoughtful, sustainable design practices.
Our Methodology
This methodology encompasses various elements to support optimal health and wellness:
Space: We design layouts that optimize flow, functionality, and comfort. By balancing openness and intimacy, we create environments that support daily routines, encourage movement, and offer places for rest and reflection. To ensure spaces are as healthful as they are functional, we prioritize the fundamentals of air and water quality. This includes implementing effective ventilation systems, using non-toxic materials, and integrating water filtration systems that promote cleaner, healthier living environments.
Light: Light is a cornerstone of wellbeing. We harness the power of natural light to elevate mood and energy levels while incorporating carefully designed artificial lighting to support circadian rhythms. Thoughtful placement of windows, skylights, and reflective surfaces maximizes daylight, while warm, adjustable lighting schemes create atmospheres suited to both productivity and relaxation.
Materials: Materials matter – both for the planet and for personal health. We carefully select finishes and furnishings that are sustainable, natural, and free from harmful chemicals. From non-toxic paints to responsibly sourced woods and textiles, our designs emphasize longevity, craftsmanship, and beauty. Each material contributes to a healthier, more harmonious living environment.
Objects: The objects we surround ourselves with play a significant role in shaping our spaces and mindsets. We advocate for curated selections of furnishings and decor that embody sustainability, craftsmanship, and personal meaning. By focusing on quality over quantity, our designs feature pieces that enhance both aesthetic appeal and functionality, contributing to a home’s overall sense of wellbeing.
Nature: Integrating nature into our designs is essential for fostering connection and calm. Whether through indoor plants, natural materials, or views of the outdoors, we bring elements of the natural world into every project. Biophilic design principles guide our process, helping to reduce stress, improve air quality, and create uplifting spaces that connect inhabitants with their surroundings.
