Bad Rituals Presents: A Ten-Module Design Guide for Creating Spaces That Feel Like Home
Design isn’t just how a room looks—it’s how it feels, how it moves you, and how it remembers you.
This guide is your invitation to step into a new way of seeing interior design: one that honors the senses, the soul, and the stories we carry.
Bad Rituals started as a covert space of personal inspiration and evolved into a bold design ethos guided by my six senses approach: sight, sound, touch, smell, taste, and the most elusive, intuitive feeling. This is the way I’ve always designed—led by instinct, grounded in memory, and free from external validation.
And now, I’ve distilled that journey into ten immersive modules designed to help you do the same.
Inside this guide, you’ll learn to:
Create visual stories using color, light, and layout of specific pieces- using your own authentic style
Incorporate Feng Shui into your interior and why it’s important
Shape intentional spaces that are uncluttered and harmonious
The importance of art and curation
Layer textures and tactile moments for warmth and depth
Use scent to create lasting emotional impressions
Design for the sensory experience of eating, gathering, and sharing
Trust your intuition to guide choices that feel deeply authentic
Each module invites you deeper into the alchemy of design—where beauty meets memory, and function meets feeling. Whether you’re moving, renovating, or simply longing for a space that feels more you, this guide is your anchor and your roadmap.
This is not a rulebook. It’s a portal. A return to your own creative instincts.
Welcome to Bad Rituals. Let’s begin your design journey—one sense, one story, one room at a time.
