The KCB Way
Hello! Feeling overwhelmed by your home, your responsibilities while at the same time knowing there must be a better way to create a home that is stylish, kid-friendly and welcoming? Oh and that isn't always covered in clutter? I'm Neyir, a mom of 4 boys & caregiver to my mom. I'm from Canada and used to live in the US and the UK before that and I get it! I love my busy, ADHD filled house but I felt it was like an anchor weighing me down! I wanted an elevated, stylish home but I also wanted a space the kids felt was warm and cosy. If I can do it with this crew of leaping, furniture climbing, Lego obsessed boys I am confident you can too! I'm passionate about interior design and living beautifully but even more about spaces that function and make us FEEL good. With the KCB Way I'm sharing the core principals, the Pillars, that I have been experimenting with & refining for some time. I'm excited to see how you use them to create beauty and order in your gorgeous and sometimes chaotic lives (of course I may be projecting the chaos, I live with a LOT of boys after all!)
The KCB Pillars
RANG-ER
The Art of Putting Away
Ranger is a french verb that means everything from tidying up, to putting away to organising. When we organise spaces, the fundamental and crucial truth is that for the ADHDer the ease of putting away is paramount.
​
YOUR HOME'S STORY
The Art of telling your home's story your way
Homes are as unique as the people who live in them. What do you want from your home? Is it a calm relaxing zone, is it invigorating and joyful. Is it bright & light or deeper and moody. When we know how we want to feel in our home & in individual parts of it, it help us to determine the home's visual story which influences everything from patterns to finishes.
SELECTIVE MINIMALISM
The Art of Minimixing YOUR un-important
Many of us ADHDers love stuff! But clutter is not good for us and often holds us back. Selective minimalism is the art of pairing down items in the must have areas of your life you may not care about to make space for more in your areas of interest & yes sometimes those change!
VISUAL STORYTELLING
The art of uncovering your home's style & colour palette
Do you want and need to wake up to a sunshiny bathroom? Need a calming blue oasis? We all react differently to colour, pattern & texture and knowing the emotion & energy we want to evoke in different parts of our home helps us to choose the colours & materials that will support us as well as the style that reflect's our Home's story.
​
SYSTEMS
The Art of the right flexible system
You need a home you love and so does EVERYTHING you own. It may sound extreme but when we don't approach 'stuff' by categories and assign it homes in the right places we spend way too much energy and Executive Function putting things away or likely not putting things away.
FLEXIBILITY & TRANSITION
The art of change
Life is all about change and often we fall in and out of love with hobbies & activities. It is critical to design final storage solutions as well as transitory spaces that work for your home and family. Over used transition spaces tell us that another principle is not working.
