A Warm and Healing Space for Golden Rey Energy Center
Home Tour Interior Design Project
The interior design project for Golden Rey Energy Center in Shorewood, WI involved complimenting the original architectural elements such as the woodwork and footprint of the existing rooms with new paint colors and furnishings. The goal was to make the character of the building shine while creating a healing environment on a restricted budget. Accent colors were inspired by select Finnish textiles and locally made accessories that also worked with their intended logo colors. All in all, this working relationship with Kristen Reynolds of Golden Rey was inspiring and we were able to support her vision of creating a healing oasis for all who enter her space.
