I used to think that having a bigger closet would solve all my organizational problems. After all, if the problem is that your closet’s too small and crammed full, having more space should fix it, right? That isn’t always true. Now that I’ve had extra wide closets, walk-in closets, and even spent a little time […]
Pantone’s color of the year picks are always a little symbolic. Usually, it’s a color that feels significant – one that will influence the design and fashion industries, and often has subtle political undercurrents.

I’ve been in the interior design business a long time. I know from experience that trends come and go; the ones people think will stick aren’t always the ones still around five or ten years down the line. But take it from me: for all the times in the last decade that someone has asked […]

The building blocks of interior design are all squares and rectangles. If you’ve ever had the (mis)fortune of using floorplan software, you’ll know: at the very basic level, everything is broken down into small boxes shuffled around in bigger boxes. But where does that leave you if the space you’re working with isn’t quite square? […]
