Design a Home You Love (Based on Psychology!)
We spend a fortune decorating our homes for aesthetics, but often overlook what truly matters: how it makes us FEEL.
As biological creatures, we are drawn to spaces that make us feel safe and comfortable, responding to environments that align with our deep-seated hunter-gatherer instincts, shaped by millions of years of evolution.
By understanding these psychological needs which we will cover in this video, you can transform your home into a place that not only looks beautiful but also calms your mind, boosts your mood, and makes you truly feel at home.

    👏👏👏 You are the first person I have ever heard advocating for separate kitchen and living space. Western cooking is almost always in (at least partially) in the oven. I watch a lot of home Reno or house hunting shows. Every one wants an open plan kitchen. Imagine cutting onions or even frying them in an open plan kitchen everyone’s eyes would be watering and the smell of food would permeate the upholstery and curtains in the house. No matter how powerful the exhaust. 🤷‍♀️ at least Asians should understand their kitchen needs and not demand open plan kitchens.

    In my personal experience, the command position does not work if your desk setup contains a big wide monitor or there are many devices connected, cables, etc. The best is to bring those cables and big pieces that are over your desk, against a wall, otherwise the first thing that you will see as soon as you open the door y a big wide monitor and some cables, even if they are organized, it’s like seeing the backstage of a theater.

    Very helpful video. Drawers for everything didn’t exist in 2008 when wegot our askersund ikea kitchen. If only! Bought in a rush after an extension. What are your views on an island versus dining area?We can’t have both, only one or the other. Which don’t recommend? Thank you

    • @baixu
      @baixu Месяц назад

      Glad it was helpful! I personally love having a dining table, it feels so much more comfortable, wholesome and family friendly to have everyone seated around a table. Sitting around an island feels more like something only for adults and parties! But that's just my personal preferences, and it very much depends on your lifestyle and the type of social events you want to create at your home :)

      Tricky to say without seeing the room. It really depends on the slope height! Because you will still need to be able to stand underneath it. If you like, you can email me your design troubles with more context and information at hellobaixu@gmail.com! And I can see if I can help 😊

    I purchased £2100 of a token on the app. Its price went up to £2400, but when I go to sell, I can only sell for £2000. The spread is ridiculously high. Even though I made close to 20% profit, I can only sell for £100 less than when I first bought in. That's genuinely insane to me. I would need to make about 30% profit, just to cash out at the same price I bought in at. How is that even legal??? Is it the same on the exchange? Seems a lot cheaper to just send it to coinbase and cash it out there
