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.

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!
