A rich, dramatic bedroom can still feel warm, inviting, and incredibly luxurious when the right elements are balanced.

Think rich color, creamy upholstery, warm wood tones, brass accents, layered textures, statement artwork, and lighting that creates just the right atmosphere.

I don’t usually do event design because interiors are definitely my lane but for Habitat, I made an exception!

As a Board Member and the Event Director for Habitat for Humanity of Lancaster County's inaugural Hard Hats & High Heels, a fundraising event, I had a hand in just about every part of bringing the event together, from marketing and the overall design to day-of details and everything in between.

Huge thank you to our board members and volunteers who helped bring the vision to life the day of the event, putting everything in place and packing it all back up while following all of my little instructions. Brewer Blooms brought the floral vision to life, and Eventfully Yours created the backdrop that finished everything off perfectly.

Definitely not adding event decorating to my service list, 😂 but I loved using my design eye for something that means so much to me and our community.

The right lighting can change the entire room.
A beautiful fixture does more than provide light, it can create a focal point, add warmth and texture, introduce contrast, and make a space feel more intentional. But choosing the right statement lighting isn’t just about finding something pretty. Scale, ceiling height, shape, placement, and finish all matter.

In the latest Aesthetics Admirers: The Home Edition, I’m sharing my designer tips for choosing the right fixture for every room from chandeliers and pendants to sconces and semi-flush lighting.

There’s something timeless about a room that feels both polished and comfortable. This living room brings together classic symmetry, layered patterns, warm neutrals, and rich navy accents to create a space that feels elevated without feeling untouchable.

The details that make it work?
Symmetrical furniture placement
Amix of solid and patterned textiles
Built-ins that add character and dimension
Oversized seating that keeps the room inviting
A restrained color palette carried throughout the space

Beautiful design isn’t simply about filling a room with beautiful things. It’s about creating
balance, connection, and a space that feels intentional from every angle. That’s the kind of timeless design I love creating at DS Nelson Interiors.
