Fresh Space by Grace can literally be translated at face value. It’s a “Fresh Space” created by me, Grace. But let me take you deeper. Cause it’s a Wednesday night, the kids are in bed and I have to write this blog says, my website developer.

Interior Plant Consultant. “What is that?” I’m often asked.

Well, quite simply, I assess your space for light and indoor environmental factors and then recommend plants that will thrive in your space. I will outfit them in nice-looking pots and place them in the best locations to flourish.

Getting you on board to add plants is not my end goal, however.

Your “need” isn’t a trending Fiddle Leaf Fig. Your “need” isn’t that Instagrammable living wall. That’s just my hook. There’s a deeper reason why I started this business.

Do you ever wonder why taking a walk in a forest feels so good inside? There is something about seeing the magnificent trees reaching up toward the skies. There’s something about seeing the leaves hanging onto the branches by the thinnest stems as they flutter in the wind. There’s something about the myriad of greens in the colour of the foliage that’s so calming, so grounding. It’s like these trees and their leaves hold space for us. Somehow, we can calm the busyness going on in our minds and pause for a moment when we’re among plants and nature.

That is the gift that nature gives us. They effortlessly bring beauty, joy, and peace to wherever they are. Plants refresh us and grace us with their presence.

This is why I started Fresh Space by Grace.

Pay attention to the things you are naturally drawn to. They are often connected to your path, passion, and purpose in life. Have the courage to follow them.
