Your Energy Archetype

An energy archetype is a specific style or combination of styles that resonates with the energy you are drawn to or that best supports your alignment and well-being. It is a representation of the energies you seek to surround yourself with, incorporating elements from different global design styles to create a unique and harmonious composition.

This archetype is not just about aesthetic preferences but also about the symbolic and energetic qualities associated with different design elements. Knowing your style can help create an environment that aligns with your personal energy, promotes balance, and supports your overall well-being. It’s a holistic approach that considers the art, science and energy of design to create a space that feels harmonious and supportive.

The Energy of Greek Style

The energy of Greek interior design is intricately tied to the nation’s landscape, history, and spirit. At its core, the energy of Greek design embodies:

Tranquility: The predominant use of white, along with the serene blues, evokes feelings of calmness, much like the relaxed and tranquil vibe of the Mediterranean seaside.
Simplicity: Greek design is straightforward without unnecessary frills. This simplicity promotes a sense of clarity, focus, and grounding. It reflects the Greek love for the unadulterated beauty of life.
Connection to Nature: Through earthy tones, representations of olive branches, and the use of natural materials, Greek design maintains a strong connection with nature. This relationship reminds inhabitants of the cyclic nature of life and the beauty of organic growth and decay.
Historical Richness: Hints of bronze and design motifs may recall ancient Greek artifacts, symbolizing a deep respect for history, wisdom, and the stories of the past.
Spirituality: Elements of Greek design, such as the iconic blue domes, can elicit feelings of spiritual elevation. Additionally, the ample use of natural light in Greek interiors brings in warmth and spiritual enlightenment, connecting inhabitants to the divine.
Openness & Hospitality: Traditional Greek homes are designed to be open and welcoming, reflecting the country’s renowned hospitality. This energy of openness fosters community, connection, and shared experiences.
Harmony: The balance between colors, textures, and space in Greek design symbolizes harmony. The interplay between indoor and outdoor living spaces represents a harmonious coexistence with nature.

In essence, the energy of Greek interior design is a blend of serenity, simplicity, reverence for history, and a deep connection to the natural world. It’s an energy that invites introspection while also encouraging communal bonds.
