This week, we’re joined by Eleanor of Cobelis Design Studio for a deep dive into the philosophy and practice behind thoughtful spatial planning. Eleanor shares how she approaches each project with a precise yet intuitive eye—balancing flow, function, and feeling to create spaces that support the way people truly live. We explore how layout impacts well-being, why negative space matters just as much as the filled, and how intentional design can guide energy, behavior, and emotion. A must-listen for anyone who believes that great design begins long before the styling stage.
