Summer has officially begun and we have been busy! Here is a peek inside the ARD camera roll: design details, material selections, the places that shape our creative process, and Zuri of course. ☀️

Designed to feel calm, collected, and effortlessly lived in.
The kind of bedroom that makes hitting snooze feel like self-care. Swipe to see the before!

Through layered monotypes, organic forms, and quiet movement, pieces bring warmth, texture, and a sense of calm that feels right at home in beautifully lived-in spaces.

ARD inspiration this week. Give us the patina, the one-of-a-kind chairs, the sculptural table legs, an oversized paper lantern, and a coffee table that's hosted its fair share of dinner parties. The best interiors have personality.

Character will always be in style.

Good design begins before/during construction! Bringing a designer in early allows every finish and architectural selection to feel cohesive, intentional, and tailored to the way the home will actually live and function.

• Brass switches & outlets — Brass hardware develops a natural patina over time and adds warmth & depth to the home.
• Wall texture & finish selections — The finish of a wall dramatically impacts how light moves throughout a space. Limewash, plaster, or smooth finishes each create a different atmosphere and can add softness & dimension. Level 5 is needed for wallpaper!
• Discreet outlet covers — Integrating outlets into stone, millwork, or wall color creates cleaner sightlines and a more refined overall aesthetic.
• Door casing & baseboard sizing — Scale matters. Larger, more substantial trim profiles help rooms feel architecturally grounded and custom, while undersized trim can make even a beautiful home feel builder-grade.
• Decorative or integrated vents — Vents are often overlooked, but custom vent covers or flush integrations allow airflow elements to blend seamlessly into the architecture rather than interrupt it visually.
• Seamless shower drains — Linear drains create a cleaner floor transition, improve accessibility, and allow tile layouts to feel uninterrupted and visually expansive within the bathroom.

And trust us… adjusting switch & outlet placements are a lot more fun before drywall goes up. 😉..

Amy Wright’s work is the kind that stops you mid-scroll. Bold texture, moody layers, earthy tones — every piece feels a little wild in the best way. Like nature, movement, and emotion all colliding on canvas.
