We recently had the pleasure of decorating a living room, dining room, & entryway for a lovely local client. She had moved in recently and needed furniture, décor, window coverings, paint, and anything else we could think of to update the main living area for around $10,000.

Interior design is all about layering. Layering of materials, décor, and furniture, is what makes a space interesting, warm, and lively. Wallpaper is one of the ways to bring another layer to a space. It is an opportunity to add additional texture, pattern, and colour.

You probably always hear that if you want a room to be bright and spacious, that you should paint the room a light colour. While this is true in many cases, there are situations where a dark colour can enhance the space and also make it feel spacious! Dark colours can cause edges of the room to blend together, giving the illusion of more space.

Styling shelves is really both a science and an art. While I admit that some people have an eye for it and some just don’t, there are still tips & tricks that anyone can learn to improve the styling of their home! In this post, I go over my best tips on how to style shelves, and I hope it will provide some helpful insight!

Our homes are supposed to be our safe space, a retreat from the hard things of this world. A place where we feel comfortable, relaxed, refreshed, and completely ourselves. Interior design plays a crucial role in whether you enjoy being in your home and whether it works for you. Interior design not only determines whether your home is a beautiful reflection of you, but also whether it is functional and serves your needs.

Who doesn’t love a white kitchen? Ok, maybe not everyone, but while some may find them boring, a white kitchen is a classic beauty that will probably always be a favourite for many people. Not only are white kitchens loved, but many people are loving white walls throughout their homes these days. It provides a fresh and modern backdrop for a minimalist style to pop.

Grey has been a very popular colour for quite some time. It’s the go-to colour for refreshing and updating walls, and for using on neutral furniture pieces. And while it’s still a great colour, the trends have shifted to warmer, earthy tones like shades of khaki and terracotta. Sage green is another widely popular colour (and a personal favourite of mine). It feels timeless and fresh all at the same time.

When the warm summer months hit, a lot of us find ourselves turning our attention to the exterior of our homes. Whether you want to create an outdoor oasis in your backyard or would rather spruce up your front porch to enjoy, summer is the perfect time to do some updates to the exterior of your home to improve the curb appeal. While we are interior designers, we can also help with improving the exterior!

Incorporating greenery into the design of a space has become a huge trend in recent years, but for those of us plant-lovers out there, we’ve known for a long time that plants make an interior better! While plants are “on trend”, they are, of course, also a timeless way to style a space. The benefits of plants include improving oxygenation, filtering the air, reducing stress and improving mood, and of course, looking beautiful.

With the world changing a lot this year, businesses have had to adapt and offer more online services. Interior design is no exception! E-design is a luxury interior design service that you can access from the comfort of your own sofa. It’s also a more affordable approach to design.

Windows and natural light are an important design element that are often overlooked. With Spring on it’s way, we find ourselves drawn more to the outdoors and craving that sunshine! In addition, it might be the perfect time to go on a special getaway and let us handle the renovation while you’re gone.

Interior design is not just about choosing pretty things. There aren’t many designers out there who would be successful if that was the only thing they considered when designing a space. There are other obvious considerations such as the client’s budget, if the selections will fit in the room, and the durability of the items, but something a little less obvious that needs to be considered is how the design will impact health and wellness.

Whether it is your home, your business, or your office space, interior design always matters. Your physical environment defines your lifestyle and can greatly impact your well-being. The benefits of hiring a professional interior designer are infinite ‒ you gain structure and knowledge throughout the length of your project, save time and money, and guarantee a beautiful space that feels good.

With Christmas just around the corner, a lot of us are probably excited for the opportunity to celebrate with our families and have a little reprieve, and yet for a lot of us, the holidays bring on feelings of more stress, anxiety, and thoughts like “how am I going to find the time or energy to get my home ready for Christmas this year?”.

A lot has changed this past year. Businesses have had to quickly adapt, and many people are now working from home. You may have set up your office at your kitchen island or dining room table, or even at the kid’s homework station. How is that working for you? Maybe not so well. Maybe you’re feeling a little tired of the constant distractions, the clutter of paperwork, or uncomfortable seating. If you’ve been thinking “there’s got to be a better way”, well we believe that you are right!

Big windows make for a beautiful space. We often want to upsize our windows, especially when we're building a new home, or renovating our current one. Large windows are the right idea for any space but always remember that you'll need to cover those windows with some form of window treatment.

One of the truest statements that you hear about your home is that basements are excellent, but generally underutilized, spaces in our homes. They become storage centres, home gyms, rec areas, and generally one of the the least appealing areas of the home. I know my basement is not my favourite part of the house, because it’s one of the darker areas, and not yet designed and decorated like the rest of my house.

I wanted to share a Design Concept Package that we came up with for a lovely client and her family who reside on a beautiful property just west of Sundre, AB. This client's home has the perfect Rocky Mountain views, lush trees, energetic dogs, and wildlife who come right up to their front door and peer on into the house. It is true country living!

There are so many advantages to hiring an Interior Designer when redesigning your space, and one of those perks is the customization that goes into every detail of the design. What I'd like to focus on in this blog entry is the endless possibilities and outstanding results that can be accomplished by using custom fabrics.
