Poetic Spaces Interior Design

This basement started off with a very compartmentalized layout making each space feel crammed.

The new layout gives space to:

✅️ watch TV
✅️ workout
✅️ do laundry
✅️ work from home (desk not shown)
✅️ host overnight guests

A great way to gain room for storage is to get better use of the space under your stairs.

I was invited over to see this home after the renovations were completed. Life kept pushing the visit further and further away, and we recently finally made it happen.

My jaw hit the floor when I walked in 🤩!

Even though I was fully involved from the planning stages and knew how it was supposed to look, I was still blown away by how absolutely stunning it all turned out.

These clients were so lovely to work with and I'm so happy to have been able to assist in bringing their home back to life.

When I look at this home, now complete, I get such feelings of joy.

I think of the homeowner's excitement to live in a space that suited their needs. I think of all the steps it took to get there, the creative freedom, the mutual respect and appreciation we had for each other, the fun colours.

More of that, please 💫✨️

SPACE: This Could Be All You Need...

SELF: Unforeen

Poeticspaces.co/blog/

I’ve finally done it. Over a year after the idea first sparked, my blog is officially live! 🎉

This feels like the best way to bring all my ideas, stories, and experiences together in one place. I’ve created it in two parts to reflect the two big themes in my life:

SPACE — practical lessons in design: useful, thoughtful, and applicable to real homes and real people.
SELF — a brain-based detour: a glimpse into life through my neurodivergent lens.

Whether you’re here for the interiors, the introspection, or both — I’m so glad you’re here.

🖤 Check it out, share with your friends and family, share your thoughts, and let me know what you’d love to see next.

What do you think about gold fixtures in the kitchen? Gold anywhere in the house for that matter.

Over the years I have witnessed numerous homeowners express their concerns about gold not lasting the test of time, afraid of it being a fad.

If I'm not mistaken, the first kitchen I designed with a gold faucet was 10 years ago and I think we can all agree gold fixtures (faucets, hardware, lighting) still has a strong presence.

Why are people still so aprehensive about a gold finish? Maybe it's because at one point we all associate that yellow gold to builder grade material that everyone was so eager to get rid of and they don't wantnto make the same mistake again. It seams people want to be more mindful that the new selections last the test of time.

Do you know what lasts the test of time? Choosing something that you love. Something that speaks to your heart. Yes, I'm still talking about fixtures! But the point I'm trying to make is that if you love it, you don't have to concern yourself with what's in style because to you it will always be YOUR style. What is more personal than having your own style?

In short, get the gold.

I've seen brass inlays in tile, but now it's showing up in hardwood floors.

I think trends come and go, but this adds small sporadic sparks of interest. I love it.

The surge in popularity of drinking faucets has prompted leading brands like to introduce coordinated designs that seamlessly match their primary faucets.

Gone are the days when drinking faucets were limited in styles, often confined to chrome or brushed nickel finishes. The current market offers a diverse array of mini faucets mirroring the aesthetic of their larger counterparts.

If you like it then you better put a...grate in it.

I'm so sorry, no one was around to stop me from making that bad joke.

Using a sink grate can be crucial for maintaining your sink and here is why:

Protects Sink Surface: They safeguard the sink surface from scratches and damage caused by utensils or pots.

Enhances Drainage: Sink grates improve drainage by allowing water to flow freely, reducing standing water and bacterial buildup.
