Here’s a hot take: decisions architects make on the outside, don’t always make sense on the inside. The exterior? Stunning. A solid 10 out of 10.But then you step inside and think… why is there a window there? A floor plan can look perfect on paper and still feel slightly off when you start using your […]

We love Pinterest and we love Instagram. We save beautiful kitchens at 11pm and feel convinced that the secret to having our life together might just be a warmer white paint color and a very expensive looking coffee table. There is absolutely nothing wrong with gathering inspiration online. You’ll find, most interior designers use Pinterest […]

When people renovate, their focus naturally goes to the big decisions first.They tend to allocate more of their budget to the “larger” elements like the sofa or the type of stone for their countertops. And while those choices absolutely matter, they’re not what make a home feel finished. That’s what happens in the final layer. […]

Let me say this with love and a smile.I don’t work with clients who want to handle their own purchasing.Not because I’m trying to be difficult. Not because I want control for the sake of control. But because I care far too much about the final result to let the process fall apart halfway through.The […]

Motherhood didn’t make me lower my design standards. If anything, it raised them. Because when you’re living in a home with children, you understand very quickly that beauty alone isn’t enough. A space can look stunning in photos, but if it can’t handle real life, it won’t feel good to live in. And I care […]

Spring gets all the attention when it comes to home projects. It’s the “spring cleaning” and “let’s redo everything” kind of energy. But if I’m being honest, the real magic happens before spring arrives. Late winter is when people stop romanticising their homes and start seeing them clearly. You’ve lived in the space through winter. […]

“Designing for real life” is a phrase you’ll probably hear designers say, and if you don’t, that’s your first red flag. It sounds simple, but it’s actually pretty specific. Of course aesthetics matter. They should. And yes, seeing a finished space photographed after a project is easily one of my top ten feelings. Watching a […]

I’m not big on chasing trends. If something only works for a moment, it usually doesn’t belong in your home long term. That said, every year I start to notice patterns, not from trend reports, but from real conversations with clients and how people are actually living in their homes. The design direction for 2026 […]

Every January, we talk about New Year’s resolutions. Resetting routines. Improving habits. Creating better systems for the year ahead. But there’s another kind of reset that happens quietly, and no one really talks about it. Your home feels it too. It’s the same energy as spring cleaning, just without the sun. That urge to clear […]

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in design, it’s that people love to know what designers choose for themselves. And honestly… I get it. There’s something reassuring about seeing what we gravitate toward when we’re not designing for a client brief but designing for our own families, our own routines, our own everyday moments. And […]
