Let’s talk kitchen flow. 👉🏻 When appliances are spaced too far apart, you end up doing way more walking than cooking. And when the overall layout doesn’t flow naturally, even a beautiful kitchen can feel frustrating to use. Good design should look good, but it should also make sense when you’re actually living in it.

Consider this your reminder that the details of a kitchen layout matter!

The hardest decision of the day: which showerhead to use first. 🚿✨
Dual fixtures bring that elevated, resort-style luxury right into your daily routine, whether you're looking for an enveloping rain-like soak or a targeted rinse. Paired with soft vertical stack tile, grounded dark hex floors, and warm natural accents, this shower proves that functional design can feel completely spa-worthy.

Which feature is a must-have in your dream bathroom: dual showerheads, a built-in bench, or frameless glass? Let us know below!

Showing you our finished projects is important, but there's so much legwork that you can't see from the final photos!

There are site visits, drawings, sourcing, emails, phone calls, deliveries to track, and plenty of problem-solving along the way. It's the part of the job where we get to really dig into the details, keep everything moving, and make sure the design we envisioned becomes the one our clients get to live with.

So…how much does an interior designer actually cost? And more importantly, what are you really paying for? The answer, in short? It really depends. Every project, client, and scope of work is different. But we broke down the different pieces that go into the overall investment so you can better understand what you’re paying for.

One design splurge we will always vouch for? Custom cabinetry. 👏🏻 If you’re going to splurge somewhere, put it in the kitchen and the primary bathroom. Custom cabinetry is built specifically for your room, which means no awkward filler strips, more usable storage, and every inch working harder for you. Plus, you get way more options than what you’ll find off the shelf.

And when it’s built with quality materials and properly cared for, custom cabinetry can last for decades.
