EP 413 | Earth, Water, Fire, Metal & Wood: How Feng Shui Supports Wellness in Interior Design with Lisa Morton
After a decade designing private jet interiors, Lisa Morton hit a breaking point. Burnout took a toll on her health and well-being—and forced her to reconsider not just how she worked, but why. That moment led her to the study of Feng Shui, a holistic design practice that now shapes her work as a master teacher and educator.
In this episode, Kimberley Seldon sits down with Lisa to explore how Feng Shui principles can support wellness, intentionality, and longevity in interior design. As younger generations place increasing value on well-being, designers who understand how environments affect energy, mood, and stress are better positioned to meet evolving client needs.
This conversation offers both philosophy and practical application—showing how ancient principles translate into modern, client-centered design decisions.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why intentional design choices reduce “fast furniture” and increase lasting value
- How the front door influences a home’s energy and first impression
- How water elements improve flow and focus in workspaces
- Why earth elements like brick, stone, and clay help ground stressed clients
- How fire elements add warmth, energy, and seasonal balance to interiors
DESIGN INTERVENTION
No job is worth the price of your happiness. If you are a perfectionist, you may hold on to jobs that don’t support your wellbeing. Say no when the clients aren’t a good fit.
