I love to read. In my opinion, books are an intricate and sophisticated accessory for any room in the house. They offer in-depth stories and comfort, gorgeous color and are great conversation starters. A space is all about showcasing what we love, and what better way to do so than with books on display!

There are many ways to incorporate books in a space. Built-in shelving is a favorite of mine. But, coffee table books and valuable knick knacks also hold value. There are many ways to store them away and display them with pride, so we wanted to look at a few options for how best to use books, the way we enjoy them in our spaces, as an exquisite design feature.

Sometimes, it can feel like laundry rooms are the ugly duckling of spaces in the home. They’re just kind of…there. But, they’re actually so meaningful! (Writer’s Note: Don’t make fun of me for saying laundry rooms are “meaningful.”) Anyway, I digress. They’re important. Aside from the kitchen, a laundry room is the center of our home. It’s where we go to feel accomplished, organized and clean. It’s where we should feel the most functional. So, we have some key must-haves to build a laundry room space that fulfills all of these basic and beautiful needs. Psst…aesthetics are still an option!

Windows and space and sunshine, oh my! Smart design is all about building a space in your home that is fully functional and convenient to live in. Oh, and obviously aesthetically pleasing as well, full of natural light flooding in. How we live indoors should reflect how we enjoy a natural touch of the outdoors. Do you like to snuggle up by the fire? Do you prefer natural wood accents? Big, open windows? Spaces your family can spread out for game night? Along with remodeling a space that works for your lifestyle, smart design is all about the space itself – and perhaps – making it as open as possible.

The latest trend in home design has to do with how a space reflects our heart and our day-by-day. It might be a buzzworthy phrase, but if you haven’t heard of “ritual design” already, you will very soon (well, within this blog post anyway). From what I gather through a lot of meaningful internet research, ritual design is all about finding deep meaning behind interior decorating and truly designing a space to match your rituals and

Home design has become a big part of our lives. It is the space we gather. The space we rest. And, most importantly, the space that truly defines our inner selves. But, funny enough, interior decorating isn’t the first thing we think about regarding our homes, especially when we think of outdoor spaces. Why? It’s tough to understand how we want to live outside. The outdoors don’t have structure and their openness can be intimidating. So, we wanted to explore the true art of inclusive gathering spaces outdoors – and how you can design them to create comfortable outdoor spaces for all.

Take it from Claude Monet, gardens are incredible masterpieces. Also, they’re an art. A truly stunning garden takes intense planning, imaginative thinking, budgeting and continued maintenance (Writer’s Note: maintenance that is actually quite therapeutic). Anyway, taking the time to actively plan out how you envision your ideal home garden and transfer that to activation is an art in itself.

Meditation has been around for centuries. Until recently, people had only two choices to meditate: by joining a monastery or leaving the general hustle of the world behind entirely and traveling to isolated hermitages. Things have changed so much! Now, homeowners are transforming their homes into custom experiences where they can find their center.

The ultimate kitchen goals start with a “need.” Maybe your kitchen isn’t functional enough for your growing family. Maybe it’s not an open concept and feels stuffy and enclosed. Most commonly, maybe your kitchen is out-of-date and needs an upgrade. Either way, we’re here to help you with the first steps you must take to get a kitchen remodeling plan started. Home design is intricate and takes a lot of professional insight. Also, remodels can seem excruciatingly overwhelming and it’s easy to put it off for a long time. However, the “getting started” part is easy to tackle! And we can promise you won’t want to put off that remodel any longer after reading this!
