Hi, I’m ÁINE ATARA.
Homes, the psychology of space, sticking to habits, wellness, mental heath, self care, making space for it all. There can be a lot going on. I’m the all in one consultant who can coach you (certified), advise you on what to buy and how to put it all together.
I’ve always felt a duty of care to my interior design clients that went past paint and furniture selection. I’m passionate about what really makes a home feel good for someone and how that can be reverse engineered to relieve pain and mental suffering. Im getting my M.A. in researching this very question.
My Approach
INTERIOR DESIGN, FENG SHUI & DESIGN PSYCHOLOGY
I'm a design consultant specialising in helping people get the best from their spaces. I assess how and where buildings and interiors aren’t of benefit or how they are harming your mental and physical health. Clients ask me to review and advise them on homes, offices, shops, health centres, Airbnbs, outdoor living spaces. I come on board to help with a new build or renovation project. I am also asked to consult before a property purchase to help my client make the best, most advantageous decisions.
Dream it
A big part of what I do is listening and observing, asking key questions, taking a history. Having your floor plans to hand and knowing the date of construction are helpful if you want a full classical feng shui assessment and report. You may just want your specific needs answered or you may want me to advise on flow and layout.
Build it
Individuals and firms come to me seeking to align their environment with their needs and goals. For example, their goal to balance health with a demanding working life; their need to incorporate brand values into an interior upgrade; the desire to have their home support a new wellness lifestyle.
I make key recommendations and provide in-depth, practical design help in the form of sketches, floor plans, aesthetic choices and Feng Shui reports.
My expertise is based on a 20+ year career in the construction industry as an interior architect. Also, I am a classically trained Feng Shui practitioner, sit on the Board of the International Feng Shui Guild and I’m a certified life coach.
I consult and advise in these main ways, all currently remote and efficiently remote at that! it works extremely well online.
