THE HOMEWARD JOURNAL

What is The Homeward Journal?

THE HOMEWARD JOURNAL explores all the positive energy we unlock when we bring nature home to create the space of our dreams. Every day, I experience firsthand the power of nature on the body and the mind. Now I want to put my education as a former journalist to good use and share with you advice from the field of Biophilic Interior Design, asking how art and nature can holistically improve our lives even when we spend more and more of it inside.
