Designing for Your Soul

Why is design so important in our lives? We often get so busy that we don’t notice our surroundings until they don’t serve our needs and feed our soul.

As an interior designer, one of my greatest joys is helping you discover your style and having you say how much you love your re-designed space because you feel warm, comfortable and happy.

Interior design can be an afterthought for the chronically busy and priority-driven way we live today. When you really think about how important it is to your well-being, it becomes more of a priority.

When you come home from work or from a busy day with the kids, stop for a moment and really think about how you feel when you walk in the door. Do you feel an instant sense of calm and relaxation? Do you feel happy and energized?

Take an hour or so and walk around your home and really reflect and sense the space around you. Do you have a place to retreat and rejuvenate after an especially trying day?

Does your home function well when you entertain? Do you feel like an accomplished host or hostess, or do you feel slightly uneasy that some things just don’t seem to work when you have more than your family around. How does that make you feel?

Does your home reflect your personality, or is it a blend of ideas and parts and pieces that just don’t seem to work together.

There is no reason for you to give up the special heirlooms or collections. It’s my job as a designer to help you create that perfect space that works for you in every single situation. I like to think of myself as a curator for your inner soul.

If your idea of Heaven is to imagine yourself in a luxury spa with candles flickering and soft music, wouldn’t it be great to enjoy that special “you time” every day?

With today’s stresses, your home should refresh you the minute you walk in the door. Does yours?
