How do you make your home a reflection of you and how you love to live? There is often a battle between form and function in a space. Does something have to either be beautiful or functional? Why can’t it be both?
When beginning to renovate, the options are endless. However, the outcome should be wrapped around how the inhabitants of the space will use and love it. Renovation should be an invitation to dream about how every square inch of your space will evoke ease, comfort, and fluidity. We deal with a chaotic world every day when we step out of our homes, and our return should feel like an embrace and reprieve from that chaos.
The most important question you can ask yourself at the onset of a renovation or design project is this: “What part of my day in my home brings me the most joy?” Is it your morning coffee? Family dinners around the table? Those glorious moments to yourself after the kids go to bed? When you begin with joy, building the renovation and design around those moments becomes the focal point of the whole project. I believe in creating something as livable as it is beautiful. Design should feel as effortless as your best sweater: perfectly comfortable and wrapped in warmth.
