Like Christoper Alexander’s book A Pattern Language, I’ve noticed that there are several patterns of design in my personal environments that I look to again and again to feel comfortable. Here are a few:
- Twinkle lights
- Inboxes
- Baskets without lids
- Music in every room
- Handy napkins in strategic locations
- Labels
- Lots of something (like a full tea drawer)
- A case of handy tools
