Episode 3: Atmosphere — Formulating the Feeling of Home

What makes Disneyland the happiest place on earth — and what makes a haunted house terrifying? The same thing: a calculated, intentional atmosphere. In this episode Whitney and Summer break down the five core elements of atmosphere design — sensory design, cleanliness, spirituality, shifts, and communication — and how each one can be identified, refined, and built into the daily feeling of your home. This is one of the most practical episodes in the series. Come ready to audit your space and leave with one clear next step.
