Interior Design | Thoughtful, Elevated and Enduring

🎯Authenticity is THE design trend – of the moment and here to stay.🎯 Often times, clients come to me with a style in mind – “A friend just redid her kitchen in the modern farmhouse style, and that’s what I want.” Or, they read about a trend and want to incorporate it into their home – “minimalism,” “maximalism,” “minimalist maximalism”. It’s good to know what you like. And, we can work in any design style and it will done, beautifully. But, here’s the thing – it’s all been done. Let’s consider how to do better: - What can you bring to your home that hasn’t been done before? (Answer: YOU) - What will make your home unique and not resemble your friend's/neighbor's or a replica of a (fill-in-the-blank retail store) showroom? (Answer: YOU) - What can you invest in your home that won’t exist anywhere else? (Answer: YOU) If your spaces could speak, what would they say? 🤔 Good design is functional; it’s beautiful and broadly appealing. But, great design is so much more. What’s the difference? Authenticity. Authenticity is what gives design relevance, longevity, and purpose. It’s what I strive for with my clients. My process puts them at the center of the design from the start. Our work, together, involves understanding their lived experiences and heritage, what’s closest to their heart, what brings them peace and joy, who they share their lives with, their lifestyle and how they impact and move through the world. Then, I incorporate everything I’ve learned about them into a design plan that’s unique to them. The result – an environment that’s deeply personal, spaces that reflect and support them, surroundings that unlock memory and evoke emotion, a house that truly feels like home.🏡 My challenge for my clients, and to my clients, is to bring their story to life. Authenticity is self-expression, and it requires honesty and demands investment. Not just a financial investment, but a personal one. That’s because great design cannot be bought; it’s the result of investing yourself – what you love; what you need; your travels, values, hopes and aspirations. Does authenticity as a design concept and design goal resonate with you?
