“I am very big on energy and the power of intentional design,” begins Najah Bradley, who has owned this 1,060-square-foot loft-style condominium in Atlanta since 2002. She calls her home the “Botanical Wonderloft,” and describes the space as an “urban jungle that is not only welcoming, but is a genuine look into my heart, soul, and mind.”

"My identity is 100% reflected in my home. I am Mother Nature's niece!" Najah admits. "I'm also an empath so it's necessary for my home to be a place where I feel safe, but also a place that pours into me and inspires me. Much like the people in my life, I am selective about whom I allow in the space, as I cherish what I have created. Therefore, negativity does not thrive here and bad energy is not welcome here. This is a place to relax, reset, create, live, learn, and thrive. You can feel it as soon as you walk in and you're immersed once you sit."

“When you walk in it feels like a cool bar, coffee shop, or a library lounge with the sole purpose of helping you unwind and unlock the most creative parts of yourself while nourishing your mentality,” Najah continues. “Every corner of my home offers something interesting that speaks to you, which is probably why I skew toward maximalist, boho, and colorful. Although, I believe I’ve created my own category … a Botanical sanctuary.”

Of course, Najah’s loft didn’t look like that before she moved in; she described the one-bedroom, one-bathroom condo as a “basic, bland” space. Though on the smaller side, the unit came with a loft that could be used as a second bedroom, but which Najah uses as a home office. That’s not the only way she personalized her space, though.

"My favorite room depends on the day, honestly, but if I had to say, it's probably the living room because I get such amazing sunlight and I spend the most time there," Najah writes. "The office deserves an honorable mention as I love being up there when I've got loads of work to do because it's such an accommodating space and when I'm done, I get to leave and go downstairs feeling accomplished. I believe in a work/life balance and a separation of space contributes to that."

Najah has painted, modified furniture, and added wall fixtures. “Once COVID hit, I realized I wouldn’t be able to renovate like I wanted to so I decided to make the most of the space as is, and I couldn’t be more proud of how it all turned out,” she writes.

The most important thing that Najah advises to do when decorating your home is to be intentional. “If it brings you joy, do it!” she writes. “Also, prioritize functionality. Your home should facilitate a full body and mind recharge so you can be your best self in this world.”
