What draws us to the environments we love? What attracts us to spaces in our homes that we keep returning to over and over again? (I’ll give you a hint - it’s not grandeur.) Sure, some people may like rooms with large expanses where they can spread out or feel limitless. However, in my experience, the most successful spaces in a house are the ones that feel appropriately human-scaled. A cozy reading chair in a corner with ample light and a table to set a book on. A sunlit breakfast nook in which to start your day. These spaces are not meant to intimidate. They are meant to be inviting and they do this by keeping size and scale in check.
