We’re officially one month into 2021, and there’s so much to get excited about (in the design world at least). Every year around this time we write a round-up of what’s going to be decidedly “in”, and what’s going to be incredibly “out” for the coming year. With few trade shows and events insight, we’ve […]
Establishing your budget is the first, and often one of the most challenging, steps in the design process but it’s imperative that you set a budget to avoid unmet expectations and miscommunication. A budget communicates clearly with your designer about your expectations for furniture quality & design, and what you’re willing to pay for both. […]
No matter how your kids are going back to school this fall, they’re going to need their own designated workspace at home. Whether your kids have a corner in your office, a seat at the dining room table, or their own dedicated nook – a kids workspace is going to be a must for surviving […]

It’s Valentine’s Day… and what a perfect day to celebrate the marriage of my two favorite things; fashion and interior design! Last week, I got to attend Jason Wu’s Collection Fall 2020 show at New York Fashion Week. It has become a kind of tradition to go to the show with (my soon to be […]
It’s a new year, and as Heidi Klum used to say “one day you’re in, and the next day you’re out,” so it’s time to decide where you’ll be in 2020. We’ve gathered a list of the trends that will be here to stay for the year to come, and trends that will need to […]
When it comes to breaking down reasons to hire an interior designer, I’d like to think my hotel/motel analogy begins explaining things best.
