Creating Cozy, Moody Interiors with Tea Over Interiors
In this episode of Tea Over Interiors, hosts Dee and Alicja explore the concept of creating cozy, moody interiors. Alicia shares her preference for goji berry green tea, signifying a cleanse before an indulgent afternoon with friends, while Dee chooses a smoky Lapsang Souchong tea to match the day’s theme. The discussion covers the importance of lighting, with emphasis on soft, warm light settings for moodiness and the role of textures like plush throws and velvet cushions in adding coziness. They delve into the influence of color, specifically dark hues associated with the water element in feng shui, for tranquility and introspection. The hosts recall a guest, Angie Cho from episode 85, who previously discussed feng shui and mindful homes. Scent and aromas in a space, such as cedarwood and sandalwood, are noted for their ability to create ambiance. The conversation also touches on the personal touches in home decor, including the mix of vintage and modern pieces, natural elements like wood and stone, and statement pieces to anchor spaces. Finally, they urge listeners to transform their homes into cozy sanctuaries and invite listeners to email hello@teaoverinteriors.com
