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.

Do you have a designer in your life? Do you want to know how to drive them absolutely mental? Are you feeling like you need to make them pull their hair out? I’ll share with you just how to do this... tell them you don’t want to spend money on accessorizing. It will drive them (us) all kinds of crazy.

There you are, staring at each corner of your home, wishing it could look just like that Pinterest image that you've been showing your friends, your mom, sometimes even your dad, and basically been obsessing over for x amount of months now. Problem is, no matter how many times you go to Homesense, cruise on Wayfair, hit up some local boutiques, you just can't seem to get the room to come together.
