Welcoming summer into our interiors 🤍

This season is all about feeling lighter, softer, and a little more relaxed, and creating spaces that reflect just that.

Currently, we’re drawn to spaces that feel effortless and lived in: natural light spilling across textured walls, linen catching the afternoon sun, warm wood tones, olive greens, dusty blues, antique silver accents, fresh florals, mixing patterns, and collected pieces full of character.

One of our favourite ways to welcome a new season indoors isn’t through seasonal decor, but through simple shifts that reflect how we want to live: lighter textiles, flowers from the garden or market, and letting natural materials take centre stage.

Rather than decorating for summer, we like thinking about how a space can support us through the season, feeling brighter, more breathable, more connected to the outdoors, and a little slower in pace

Happy June, friends! What are you gravitating toward in your home this season? 🌱

A well-designed space is rarely the result of one decision. It’s the result of hundreds of interconnected ones being considered together over time.

Thinking several steps ahead is what allows a home to feel intentional, cohesive, and rooted in everyday life.

Save this for your next design project 🤍

I’m in the middle of sourcing tiles for a project and wanted to note down a few quick tile selection reminders!

This is exactly the kind of detail that never really shows up in the final design, but makes a huge difference in how a space feels once it’s built!

And honestly, this is why you hire a designer! These are the decisions we’re thinking through long before anything gets installed 🤎

What we’re inspired by this May!

Spring always brings out a softer, more romantic lens in design for me, leaning into European and French country influences, layered textiles, and nostalgic detailing. All the good stuff!!

What are you inspired by in design lately?
