Where interior design meets the mind—and shapes the way we think, feel, and live.
More Than Just a Feeling | Moran Bar Or – Interior designer introduces a transformative design method that blends neurodesign, wellness, and emotional awareness. Developed by Moran Bar Or – Interior designer, this approach goes beyond aesthetics to shape how we think, feel, and live within our spaces.
Emotional Frequencies – The Language of Interior Feeling
As part of the More Than Just a Feeling® method, I developed a framework of 11 Emotional Frequencies — each representing a distinct emotional state we seek to feel in our environments. These frequencies are not styles or trends, but human needs: vitality, calm, intimacy, clarity, creativity, grounding, and more.
Each frequency is expressed through thoughtful use of color, light, scent, materials, and layout — creating environments that align with how we want to feel, not just how we want to look.
While this concept is also reflected in our product-based work at Pure Esencia™, the Emotional Frequencies are deeply rooted in my design philosophy. They help us move beyond aesthetics and into spaces that truly support emotional well-being. pure-esencia.com
What’s Behind the Method?
More Than Just a Feeling® is rooted in a simple yet powerful idea:
Interior design is not just about decoration—it’s about transformation. It’s a system that communicates with the brain, body, and emotions—both consciously and unconsciously.
The method is built on four core pillars that elevate interior design into a tool for wellness, focus, and meaningful living:
Neurodesign
Science-based interior design that enhances how we think and feel.
This principle focuses on how colors, light, materials, and spatial layout affect the nervous system and cognitive function—improving focus, creativity, emotional balance, and even sleep quality.
Sustainable & Toxin-Free Interior Design
Design that protects your health—and the planet.
We use toxin-free materials that are safe to live with, breathe in, and surround yourself with daily. From natural stone and certified finishes to clean, breathable textiles—every element is chosen for its impact on human health and environmental integrity.
This is interior design that feels good—and does good.
Emotional Intelligence in Design
Design that senses, adapts, and responds.
Our work is rooted in intuition and presence. We observe how people move, feel, and interact with their environment—and translate that into spatial solutions.
No data, no algorithms—just deep human insight and years of experience in how design truly affects behavior and well-being.
Systemic Thinking
Every detail is connected.
From the angle of natural light to the placement of furniture, textures underfoot, or acoustics in a hallway—each decision works in harmony to support comfort, clarity, and emotional flow.
Interior design is never just one thing—it’s everything, working together.
How It Shows Up in Real Life:
