You've arranged and rearranged. You've bought new throw pillows. You even splurged on that expensive rug. But something still feels... wrong. The room looks fine in photos, but when you're actually sitting in it, it just doesn't work.

Nine times out of ten, the problem isn't what you chose, it's how it all relates to each other. Proportion is the invisible force that makes spaces feel either harmonious or chaotic, and most people are unknowingly fighting against it every day.

Last week, I walked into a client's living room and immediately knew we had a problem. Despite spending thousands on gorgeous furniture, the space felt cold, cramped, and completely unwelcoming. The culprit? They'd made the same mistakes I see in 90% of homes I visit.

Picture this: whitewashed walls kissed by golden sunlight, the scent of lavender drifting through arched doorways, and that instant feeling of being on permanent vacation. That’s the magic of Modern Mediterranean design.

You know the feeling when you walk into a room and instantly feel…off? Or maybe incredibly calm? That’s not magic, that’s colour psychology at work, and its one of the most powerful tools in my designer toolkit.
