BEFORE (pretty sad looking place)
AFTER (Aaaahhh…much better!)
My client is a therapist and came to me when she was ready to open her own private practice. She was looking for the space to be calm, warm, and a place she could even use for her own meditation. As I designed the office, I kept in mind to stick to neutrals, colors of the beach and peacock colors (her favorite), to create the mood we were looking for. These were the color palettes I kept referring back to.
This is the inside cover of an antique book that I framed. The colors worked perfectly for our palette. I also added a little pop of pink to each side of the room, which added a bit of contrast and vibrancy. When decorating a therapy office, you want to stick with neutrals and soothing colors. The small added pops of a contrasting color is optional, but I think it gives just the right amount of a boost of energy to the room. You definitely want your clients to feel calm and relaxed, but you don’t want then falling asleep! 🙂

Saw this vase and fell in love! I was looking for some white pieces to contrast the blue wall and this piece adds great texture. I placed a trailing plant inside the vase and love the life it breathes into the office!
My drawing of this bird was the perfect addition to this little vignette. You don’t always need to frame every picture. You can lean it on the side of the bookcase, if that’s the view when walking in the door. Or, you can lean it against the back of the bookcase and layer other items in front of it to give the decor some depth.
The best part of designing therapy offices is knowing that I am taking a small part in the healing process of many people!
I just launched, “Therapy-Office-in-a-Click”!!! It’s a budget friendly way to get the therapy office you’ve always dreamed of. It includes links to everything from furniture, plants and decor items down to inspiration stones and soothing scented oils.

I also created an e-book, “A step-by-step guide to decorating your tranquil therapy office.” It includes a detailed breakdown of how to create a therapy office with amazingly soothing energy. It also includes a checklist of all the items you’ll need to buy. Click on the image below to head to my online therapy office studio, or click here to SUBSCRIBE to receive the e-book for FREE!
A new blog post describing the thought process I go through when choosing items and when creating the layout. You’ll also learn how the collaborative process works, seeing how a decorator and therapist work together to create the right experience for their clients. The blog post will include a video interview with the therapist, recorded in her office. Together, we will discuss the process of transforming a room from looking like a DMV waiting room, into a calm space with healing energy.
