Introduction: Where Aesthetics Meet Awareness
In today’s world, luxury is often equated with marble countertops and gold faucets—but what if real luxury was something you felt? What if it began not with money, but with mindfulness?
In a special episode of the Luxury Unplugged Podcast, I had the honor of sitting down with Kim Dep, a renowned interior designer and conscious creative whose work blends high-end design with soul-level intention. As a Business Storytelling Coach and Ho’oponopono Practitioner, I’m always curious about how people use their spaces—and their stories—to elevate their energy and live more intentionally.
Kim’s story is not just about design—it’s about emotional healing through environment, and how mindful interiors can help us reclaim peace, identity, and purpose.
Let’s explore the 10 most powerful questions from our conversation—each answered through the lens of storytelling, transformation, and self-improvement.
🔹 10 Questions: Designing With Soul
1. How does Kim Dep define luxury in today’s spiritual landscape?
Neeti Keswani answers:
Kim redefines luxury as intentional living. For her, true luxury is waking up in a space that supports your healing, peace, and purpose. It’s about asking: Does my home reflect my highest self? I teach this in personal branding too—alignment is everything.
2. What’s the connection between your emotional well-being and your environment?
Neeti Keswani answers:
Your space mirrors your state of mind. Kim says clutter, color, and layout all affect your nervous system. As a Ho’oponopono coach, I’ve seen how emotional clutter blocks clarity. Redesigning your space = redesigning your mindset.
3. How can mindful design support people going through grief or transition?
Neeti Keswani answers:
Kim shared how changing even a corner of your room can feel like reclaiming control. For anyone healing from loss or burnout, a sacred space becomes a visual affirmation: I choose to heal. It’s a form of self-care as sacred as journaling or prayer.
4. What design mistakes drain your energy instead of supporting it?
Neeti Keswani answers:
Over-decorating. Ignoring light. Using colors that clash with your emotional needs. Kim teaches that your home should breathe with you. I tell my clients—don’t let your life look good but feel off. Beauty should support your soul, not silence it.
5. How does storytelling show up in Kim’s design work?
Neeti Keswani answers:
Kim builds spaces based on your story—your origins, your values, your dreams. This is where our missions overlap. I help people build personal brands that feel like them. She helps people build homes that hold them. Both are forms of self-expression.
6. What role does minimalism play in spiritual design?
Neeti Keswani answers:
Minimalism is about presence, not deprivation. Kim encourages removing items that no longer serve your energy. Just like in identity shifting—you release what’s no longer aligned so your true self can emerge.
7. Can mindful interiors improve relationships within a household?
Neeti Keswani answers:
Absolutely. Kim designs for emotional flow—so couples feel more connected, kids feel grounded, and families feel seen. Design becomes a healing tool. And when a home supports connection, that’s when luxury becomes legacy.
8. How can someone start designing their home more intentionally?
Neeti Keswani answers:
Start small. Choose one space. Ask: How do I want to feel here? Then declutter, add natural elements, and use scents, textures, and art that reflect your intentions. Design isn’t about trends—it’s about truth.
9. What does “spiritual luxury” mean in the context of interior design?
Neeti Keswani answers:
It means living in a space where every object supports your journey. Spiritual luxury is waking up and feeling safe in your skin, your story, and your space. Kim’s designs don’t just fill rooms—they free the people who live in them.
10. What final wisdom does Kim offer to those creating spaces for their next chapter?
Neeti Keswani answers:
Kim said: “Create space not just to impress—but to express.” Whether you’re moving into a new home or a new version of yourself, let your environment reflect your evolution. You don’t need a mansion—you need meaning.
✨ Conclusion: Design Your Inner and Outer World
After my conversation with Kim Dep, one truth stayed with me:
When your space supports your spirit, everything else begins to align.
As someone who blends coaching, storytelling, and spiritual tools like Ho’oponopono, I’ve learned that transformation doesn’t just happen in the mind—it happens in the space around you.
So if you’re stepping into a new identity, grieving a loss, or launching a soulful brand—look around. What’s your space saying about your story?
Maybe it’s time to redesign from the inside out.
