The ancient wisdom of Elements of Wellness Design are built around the principles nature & its earthing beauty, energy symmetry, and color balance, which directly impact and improve the health and well-being of people. This holistic approach to creating spaces embraces old world design principles that align with the body's circadian rhythms and honor the five principal elements that compose our very existence: earth, water, fire, air, and ether.
The Philosophy Behind Wellness-Centered Spaces
At its core, wellness design recognizes that our environments are not passive backdrops to our lives but active participants in our physical, mental, and spiritual health. Every element within a space—from the materials used to the flow of light through lattice carved doors from the placement of reclaimed wood furniture to the choice of colors—contributes to an energetic ecosystem that either supports or depletes our vitality. This understanding draws from millennia-old traditions that viewed buildings not merely as shelters but as living organisms that breathe, resonate, and interact with their inhabitants.
Designing for wellness has become particularly prominent in resorts and boutique hotels, where the emphasis extends beyond luxury to encompass fitness and meditation. These sanctuaries incorporate saunas and detox spas as essential amenities, harnessed with vintage carved barndoors recognizing that true rejuvenation requires purification of both body and mind. Equally important are secluded green areas where plants and elements of nature are in abundance, creating pockets of tranquility that allow guests to disconnect from the frenetic pace of modern life and reconnect with their inner rhythms.
The Power of Artisanal Elements
Old doors carved with deities, sun rays and chakras, lotus flowers and florals are bursting with positive energy, serving as portals that invite auspicious influences into a space. These artisanal elements carry the imprint of the craftsman's intention, the history of the materials, and the symbolic power of their imagery. Ancient Indian doors, in particular, were studded with metals and beautifully carved in unique ways to create a vortex of energy, transforming an ordinary threshold into a sacred boundary between the mundane and the elevated.
The sensory dimension of wellness design cannot be overstated. Wellness is fundamentally a sensory experience—be it the sound of a running stream or waterfall, the rustle of leaves in a gentle breeze, the texture of rough-hewn stone beneath bare feet, or the play of dappled sunlight through a canopy of trees. The more relaxing and multi-dimensional the experience, the more memorable and transformative it becomes, imprinting itself not just on the mind but on the cellular memory of the body. One powerful way to infuse natural wellness into interiors is through the use of hand carved doors.
Bringing Nature Indoors: The Green Design Movement
Green design represents a conscious effort to bring nature indoors, blurring the boundaries between the built environment and the natural world. Beautiful lush plants do more than beautify a space—they purify the air we breathe, regulate humidity, and create a living, breathing presence that reminds us of our connection to the earth. Antique doors used in patios, Reclaimed wood antique armoires and chai tables create a sustainable, conscious home that honors both the past and the future, giving new life to materials that carry stories and character within their grains and patinas.
This approach to design is not about imposing artificial greenery or superficial natural motifs. Rather, it's about creating genuine ecosystems within our homes and workplaces, where living plants thrive, where natural materials age gracefully as in vintage furniture, and where the cycles of nature become visible and tangible in our daily experience. It's about understanding that sustainability is not just an environmental imperative but a wellness strategy that keeps us grounded and connected.
Ancient Sciences of Spatial Harmony
Feng Shui and Vaastu Shastra are sister sciences that are based on the ancient knowledge of balance of energies between humans and the places they inhabit. Though originating from different cultural traditions—Chinese and Indian respectively—both systems share a fundamental understanding that the arrangement and orientation of spaces profoundly affect the flow of vital energy and, consequently, the well-being of occupants.
Vastu to me is the yoga of home, and this metaphor is apt. Just as yoga aims to keep energy fluid and balanced within the body, Vastu aims to maintain the free flow of energy throughout a living space. Blocked energy creates stress that impacts your health, career, and finances, limiting your growth and creating obstacles that can manifest in every area of life. The placement of rooms, the direction of doors and windows, the location of water elements and fire sources—all of these considerations work together to either enhance or obstruct the natural flow of prana, or life force, through a space.
Crafting Rooms That Nurture the Soul
From bedrooms that are nice and cozy with arched doorways that soften the harsh lines of modern architecture, to living rooms that are grandly decorated with carved panels that tell stories of old world cultural heritage, your home becomes a savior to the deepest feelings your heart craves. Each room serves not just a functional purpose but an emotional and spiritual one, providing sanctuary, inspiration, celebration, or contemplation as needed.
Exuberant hues and textures that add vital "prana" enhance each space, giving it a new energy or "shakti." Color is not merely decorative but vibrational, with each shade carrying its own frequency and psychological impact. Warm earth tones ground and stabilize, cool blues and green patina soothe and refresh, vibrant reds and oranges energize and inspire. When chosen with intention and balanced with wisdom, colors become a powerful tool for modulating mood and supporting different activities and states of consciousness.
Textures, too, play a crucial role in creating sensory richness. The smoothness of polished marble, the roughness of natural stone, the warmth of woven textiles, the coolness of brass and copper studded doors—each texture invites touch and engagement, making a space not just something to look at but something to experience with all the senses.
The Home as Source of Joy and Abundance
Not only is your home a thing of beauty, but it becomes the source of all joy when designed with intention and wisdom.

When your environment resonates with harmony, balance, and beauty, it naturally draws more of these qualities into your life.
