Patterns! To create a truly sophisticated interior, patterns should be embraced. I remember spending a ton of time learning about proper pattern and textile mixing when I was in design school It’s no wonder that a common design mistake we see a lot of is homeowners only purchasing solid colored pieces for their space. This is a big mistake when it comes to furniture and accessories because this leads to a space feeling boring and underwhelming. Instead, homeowners should incorporate patterns into their space, but most people don’t know the rules of pattern mixing and how to start. Luckily for you, we’re here to share some of our designer secrets about pattern mixing! 

Recently we have been designing sleeping spaces with creative alternatives to headboards. There are lots of different options which can really enhance the look and feel of your bedroom. Not to mention doing something completely different than just an upholstered one! 

When designing a bedroom, the headboard – or lack thereof – should be considered carefully. As the bed itself is usually the main feature of the room, the design of the headboard and behind the bed is key to the design.

We have put together this post which covers a variety of different ideas that could be used instead of installing a traditional headboard. These are great options if you love to DIY or if you love to have it done for you!

One of the biggest struggles for any parent is keeping the house looking relatively tidy, despite their children running around most of the time! This is a subject that comes up a lot with our clients, that no matter how many times they try to tidy up after the kids, their spaces often feel overrun by all the toys.

Clutter can often have a negative impact on our mental and physical health so it’s important to not only stay on top of our things, but keep them tidy and neatly stored away too. Having an untidy home in general can have a massive impact on how we actually feel about our homes as well. And in some cases, that’s not good!

So what can we do to keep our kids’ toys and clutter to a minimum?
