A posh and calming atmosphere was created in the basement remodel of a Hudson Valley, NY residence with Italian and Spanish tile
Practicing mindfulness, mastering stress, eating right and getting enough sleep are all important factors contributing towards good health. So are our interior spaces, according to New-York based interior architectural designer, Michele Alfano of Michele Alfano Design in Hudson Valley, NY.
One of Alfano’s clients understood that spaces can greatly influence our health, as well as our emotional state of mind, and wanted to redesign their 1,700-square-foot basement as if it was an extension of the first floor. To counteract the feeling of being inside a basement, Alfano applied her poeticmodernism® principles and paid special attention to ceiling design, use of colors and materials, acoustics, ergonomics and light to naturally engage all the senses, and promote playfulness and good living.
