Decorating With Nature Has Healing Benefits
Hello and thank you for spending time to navigate my website. I’m pleased you’re on this particular page because it shows you’re curious about how what hangs on your walls can do anything more than beautify a room or hallway?
If you’ve been in a medical office or a hospital in the past ten years, you’ve notice most have replaced the sterile white walls with pictures of sceneries of nature. You’ve likely not given much thought to why this change has occurred. Why would these facilities invest in wall decor, that is placed in areas where the company executives will seldom lay eyes on it?
The answer is real simple; I’ve included several links below to help you discover why, and I hope you return to my website afterward and begin your investment in your wellbeing.

Why NOT Abstract Images?
Although beautiful, abstract art has a non-calming effect. If you’ve ever taken a color blind test, you’ll understand! Abstract art is counter productive to relaxing the mind, specifically this kind of art provokes the brain to work at locating and identify objects of familiarity in the image. Obviously this is NOT what you want hanging on your wall at the end of a hectic day when you enter your private space for relaxation or displayed on your office wall when you squeeze-in that brief break from your daunting task and responsibilites.
