Good design is...
Personal
I believe well-designed interiors come from a deep understanding of the client's needs and personal tastes. Those are the design solutions that are meaningful and that have longevity.
Practical
A thoughtfully designed interior should function as well as it looks. It should cater to your real-life needs. Your belongings should have a logical place that can be easily remembered. Fabrics and finishes should be easy to maintain. You should relax and enjoy entertaining friends and family rather than worrying about spills!
Attainable
I find inspiration in my Scandinavian heritage where a popular saying is, "Good design for all". The sentiment is that good design should be affordable and accessible to everyone.
Rejuvenating
A thoughtfully designed home should be a calming retreat from the hectic world. It can also be a place of inspiration and creativity, providing you with a quiet place to reflect and gather your thoughts after a busy day.
