Our design approach is simple and straightforward. We believe high quality interior design begins with listening, observing, and interpreting the client’s vision. We note how a space is presently used and draft layouts that are in sync with the client’s lifestyle, ensuring every project results in a home that feels comfortable, elevated, and personal. We prioritize thoughtful planning and cohesive material selections that flow throughout the home.

We recognize that an invitation to consult on your home welcomes us into a most private space, and we appreciate your trust in us as we engage in a collaborative design process. We pay no attention to signs of life – whether piles of laundry or leftover crumbs. We are on a mission to discover your style and to realize the true potential of your home. Our greatest intention is to maximize your use and enjoyment of your living space.

We often begin by reviewing the floor plan, walkways, windows and entries. We assess the space, considering new configurations and ideal designs – while understanding that we are often not starting with a blank canvas. You have collected items of interest and appeal, mementos, heirlooms, artwork, hand-me-downs and favorite pieces. We observe and respect what is important to our clients. Honesty will lead us on our journey as we select which items to keep and which to replace or repurpose.

Our cues will come from you and your family. We will consider your lifestyle, entertaining needs, habits and daily use. We will hone in on a color palette and style that will flow throughout the home. We will incorporate function (and storage) into our design plan, while paying attention to lighting, and in particular, natural light so that the outside may also be a feature on the inside. This new space that we created together will still be “You”, though perhaps an updated and upgraded version of “You”.
