Classic and livable tops trendy and transient.
We prefer the personal to the perfect, and when it comes to design, we're broad-minded, anti-rules, pro-improvising, and all about mixing things up: Eames meet Etsy. That said, we do have a few firmly held beliefs:
Classic and livable tops trendy and transient.
Ikea mingles well with vintage pieces: A mix of high and low animates a space and allows room for all budgets.
Clutter is the enemy. For a sense of well-being, edit out the extraneous.
Thoughtfully designed and produced goods made with sustainable materials are a far better investment than big-box bargains.
Ordinary utilitarian items, such as wastebaskets and scrub brushes, can—and should—be as pleasingly elegant as center-of-attention pieces.
A room full of neutrals needs a disciplined dose of color. Think throw pillows, textiles, ceramics, and artwork in vibrant shades.
Yin wants yang: masculine and feminine elements mix well and benefit from each other. Add too much of one or the other and your space will feel unbalanced.
Beauty needn’t come at the cost of comfort or utility. Steer clear of unwelcoming furniture and fixtures that don’t do their job.
A mix of textures makes a room interesting.
Stay true; live with what you love.
