MI Journal


There is beauty in the quiet spaces. In the subtle play of light on a textured wall. In the stillness that invites reflection and the warmth that evokes comfort. But beyond beauty, design shapes how we feel, how we live, and how we connect with our surroundings.




I believe that the spaces we inhabit are more than just structures – they are living, breathing expressions of who we are. Each room tells a story, each piece of furniture holds a memory, and together, they form the fabric of our daily lives. Yet, it is not only about aesthetics; it’s about creating environments that enhance our well-being and respond to our emotional needs.




The Intersection of Design and Psychology


Our homes are extensions of our minds. They reflect our desires, our routines, and our aspirations. But more importantly, they influence how we feel every day. From the colors we choose to the way light flows through a room, every design decision has a direct impact on our mood, focus, and comfort.


Interior psychology helps us understand how elements such as light, space, color, and texture affect our emotions and behaviors. A carefully designed room can reduce stress, foster creativity, and create a sense of peace. For me design is a holistic tool that not only transforms spaces but also nurtures the health of those who inhabit them.

You’ll see how I integrate the principles of interior psychology and sociology and design aesthetics into each project, ensuring that every space is tailored to meet the unique needs of its inhabitants.





MI TUNES: Music for Your Spaces


I believe that design is about more than just the visual experience – it’s about how a space feels. And music plays a crucial role in creating ambiance. In MI TUNES, I curate playlists that align with the mood of different spaces, from calming tunes for a peaceful living room to energetic beats for a lively kitchen.


My MI TUNES playlists are designed to enhance the atmosphere of your home, making each room feel complete and aligned with your daily routines.




Creating Spaces That Feel Like Home


At the heart of everything I do is the belief that our homes should be a reflection of who we are – a place that brings comfort, joy, and peace. Whether through thoughtfully selected pieces, a well-curated playlist, or a simple change in layout, I strive to create spaces that nurture your soul and support your well-being.


Through MI Journal, I hope to inspire you to take a fresh look at your own space and consider how design can enhance your life. I'm excited to share this journey with you – a journey where design meets psychology, creativity, and mindfulness.


Thank you for joining me at MAMO INTERIORS. Let’s make your space a reflection of your best self.
