How We'll Design a Home that Evolves with Your Lifestyle

When I think about designing your home, I create your design to adapt to your changing lifestyle needs (which is important for long-term comfort and functionality). A great design will allow the spaces to adjust to you and your family’s different life stages and circumstances. In order to design with your future in mind, we help you to consider flexible layouts such as multipurpose rooms, and accessible features that can accommodate changes in family size, age, and comfort level.

Step #1: Make the Plan Your Top Priority

A full design plan created before any changes are made to your home is crucial. It guarantees that all aspects of the project are well thought out and cohesive, which will prevent the sometimes inevitable costly mistakes and delays. Planned spaces allow for a unified vision and efficient use of your funds, ultimately leading to a more successful outcome. As a full-service design firm, we play a vital role in this process, offering expertise and guidance to translate your needs and desires into a practical, achievable plan, which is followed by the general contractor, builder, trades, and installers, and anyone involved in the development of your design.

Step #2: Draw Functionality into Your Design

Before incorporating any of the beautiful materials that are so fun to see, we always start out designing functionality and organization in your home. It is essential to create spaces that are both practical and enjoyable for your family to live in. Incorporating built-ins, custom cabinetry, ample pantry space, and well-placed task and ambient lighting offer convenience and efficiency. Creating these additions streamlines your daily activities and helps maintain a clutter-free, relaxing environment.

Step #3: Spend Your Money on Superior Finishes

I always recommend prioritizing your spending on high-use items such as flooring, cabinets, and furniture while opting for more affordable options in decor and accessories. A great rug and artwork don't need to be expensive. I like to balance quality materials with less practical items for an interesting mix of design elements. It always makes for a more engaging space. Finally, I focus on adaptable spaces and timeless design elements that can grow with you and your family’s lifestyle and life stages.
