I am Maria Isabel Barrero, the founder and director of Spaces2love. With over 23 years of experience, I am an architect, interior and furniture designer, artist, and House-Coach™️. Originally from Colombia and now living in Arkansas, US, I am passionate about creating spaces that positively impact lives and behaviors. My focus is on designing harmonious environments that foster well-being and meaningful connections between people and their surroundings.

Spaces2love was born from my desire to integrate a holistic approach to the design of living environments. I sought to combine my architectural knowledge with a humanistic and energetic perspective, facilitating real-life transformations through the synergy of design and life coaching tools.

The 2020 Covid lockdown highlighted the critical role of our homes, reinforcing my purpose to help people use their spaces for connection, transformation, and creative expression. In 2021 , my personal and professional paths seamlessly converged within Spaces2love. Through my expertise and passion, I guide individuals in creating or transforming their living spaces into environments that support personal growth and empowerment.

Over the past four years, I have studied astrology and incorporated its practices into my life. I’ve found a profound connection between the sacred architecture of the universe and the spaces we inhabit. Aligning my life with cosmic cycles has enriched my work, allowing me to integrate the energetic patterns of creation into the physical spaces we design.

Alchemy is at the heart of my work. I believe that our environments have the power to catalyze change in both our inner and outer worlds. Homes are alchemical spaces where transformation occurs on all levels—physical, emotional, and spiritual. My vision is to create homes that not only enrich lives but also contribute to building a better world through fostering awareness, connection, and more sustainable living practices.

In addition to design, I actively engage in public speaking and workshops. My mission is to empower individuals to view their homes as extensions of themselves, spaces capable of nurturing growth, creativity, and emotional healing.

The core values of Spaces2love are:

• Wholeheartedness: Embracing sincerity and authenticity, fostering meaningful connections in all aspects of life.

• Creativity: Encouraging innovative thinking and artistic expression while exploring unique design solutions.

• Wellness: Prioritizing environments that promote physical, mental, and emotional health.

• Sustainability: Committing to environmentally conscious practices, ensuring that design choices contribute to a sustainable future.

• Spirituality through Art: Recognizing the spiritual power of art to elevate the human experience within living spaces.

• Mysticism and Magic: Valuing the mystical and magical aspects of life, acknowledging the invisible energetic forces that shape our spaces and lives.

At the heart of my work lies a deep belief in the transformative power of spaces. I continue to collaborate with individuals, families, and businesses to help them create environments aligned with their unique life visions.
