I am often asked, “how do you come up with a design idea for a client”? This is a great question, but the process is different with each person I work with! Knowing where to start can sometimes be challenging, but some of the best design inspirations come from a single element. Here are five sources of inspiration for design.

I am inspired to design for people who like to take care of their family and friends, and who love to live in their homes. One of my theories is that you deserve to live comfortably in your home. This could mean just admitting that you like eating in your living room. Or that you simply hate using coasters. And if that be the case, maybe a pristine wood table isn’t for you. And that’s okay! Because you deserve to live naturally in your own home.
