Spatial Alchemy

An illustrated guide to harnessing interior design as a tool for personal transformation

Change your home to change your life. That’s the simple but powerful promise of Spatial Alchemy, the debut book by acclaimed “design therapist” Olga Naiman. In this book, Olga synthesizes her twenty years of experience as a stylist for major design magazines, her degree in clinical psychology, and a lifetime exploring diverse spiritual practices and alternative healing modalities into a one-of-a-kind program to transform readers lives through the power of home design.

Olga begins by encouraging readers to explore what it is they want out of their life, and what’s preventing them from getting it. Then, she reveals the myriad ways readers can use their homes to support those ambitions. Like the ancient alchemists turning base metals to gold, spatial alchemy is the process of upgrading your home to better serve your personal needs and goals. Looking for a partner? Then make sure your home is welcoming to love: instead of a single nightstand by the bed, invest in a matching pair. Take things a step further by layering pleasurably textured throws and linens in deep, calming colors onto the bed to encourage comfort and intimacy.

From small upgrades to total renovations, readers will learn how to use their homes to restore work-life balance, break unhealthy habits, foster creativity and connection, and so much more.
