✨ Styling Saturday | Vary Your Heights

If a console, dresser or shelf looks a little flat, check the height of your accessories.

Pair something tall, something medium, and something low. Varying the heights moves your eye around the arrangement and creates a much more interesting, professionally styled look.

It’s a small change that can make a surprisingly big difference.

Beautiful storage is always a win in my books! 🤍

This week’s find is a woven storage basket—one of those simple pieces that can make a room feel more organized while still looking beautifully styled.

Use them for blankets in the living room, towels in the bathroom, toys in a playroom, or extra pillows in the bedroom. They hide the clutter while adding warmth and natural texture to the space.

🌿 Stylish storage

🌿 Works in almost any room
🌿 Functional AND beautiful

Because good design isn’t just about how your home looks—it’s about how it works for you.

Where could you use a little more stylish storage in your home?

🚧 New Project Alert!

We’re in the planning stages of a bathroom transformation, and I’m excited to bring you along from the very beginning.

We’re working through layout, storage, finishes and all those little details that will turn this bathroom into a more functional, relaxing, spa-inspired space. 🤍

I’ll be sharing the progress along the way, so follow along to see this one come to life!

What would be at the top of your bathroom wish list—a large shower, more storage or a beautiful vanity? 👇

🛍️ WIP Wednesday: Sourcing Edition

A big part of designing a space happens outside the client’s home.

Today it’s all about finding those pieces that bring the vision together—while keeping style, function, scale and budget in mind.

Which piece would you choose? 👇

🎨 Styling Saturday | Repeat Your Colour

Want your room to feel pulled together without everything matching?

Choose an accent colour and repeat it two or three times throughout the room. It could appear in a pillow, artwork, vase, throw or even greenery.

The repetition creates a visual connection and makes the entire space feel intentional.

✨ Coordinated—not matchy-matchy.

✨ Favorite Finds Friday ✨

Neutrals don’t have to be boring! 🤍

One of my favourite ways to make a neutral room feel warm and inviting is by layering different pillow textures. Think bouclé, linen, velvet and chunky woven fabrics—all within a soft, cohesive colour palette.

Mixing textures adds depth and interest without making the room feel busy. It’s such an easy way to refresh a sofa, bed or accent chair for the season.

🤍 Mix the textures.
🤍 Keep the colours connected.
🤍 Let the layers do the work.

Which is your favourite—bouclé, linen, velvet or woven?

🌿 Styling Saturday | Give It Room to Breathe

One of the biggest styling mistakes I see is trying to fill every shelf, table and empty corner.

Sometimes the best thing you can add is… nothing.

Leaving a little breathing room allows the pieces you love to stand out and makes your home feel calmer and more intentional.

✨ Try removing one or two things from a busy surface this weekend and see how different it feels.

✨ Favorite Finds Friday ✨

Lighting is one of those details that can completely change how a space feels. 🤍

This week’s find is a rechargeable picture light—a beautiful way to highlight artwork, shelving, a gallery wall or a special feature without having to hardwire it.

I love finds like this because they give you that finished, designer look without a complicated installation.

✨ Beautiful light
✨ No wiring required
✨ Adjustable brightness
✨ Big impact with a simple update

Where would you use one in your home?
