This is how I stopped being afraid of using color, and why I no longer believe beige is the safest choice for a beautiful home

Found in the quiet details of everyday buildings, they are best discovered on a slow wander through historic streets, or lingering in a piazza

We believe the greatest luxury isn't reserved for special occasions – it's waiting quietly at the end of an ordinary Tuesday

Your home shouldn't look like everyone else's. The most beautiful spaces aren't assembled from one retailer, they're collected over time from people, places, and makers with stories to tell

A dozen rough drawings, a fleeting thought, a conversation – all are the groundwork that lead a designer to create a project that's truly magical

After designing homes across the country, these are the whites I trust most – and why each one earns a place in my projects

I don't design around trends – I design around longevity, but that doesn't mean 'safe' or 'boring'

I don't design for trends, I design for people

Wealth was once expressed through abundance, but excess comes with hidden costs: maintenance, decision fatigue, clutter, and a constant mental burden

Yes, Leonardo was an extraordinary visionary, but he had a dynamic studio of apprentices and artists to help bring his work to life

I am a firm believer that one of the biggest misconceptions in design is that a beautiful home is simply a collection of beautiful things. It isn't. A beautiful home is a collection of well-edited things

We’ve been reading European homes wrong – it's not the original materials or the vintage rug, it's the threshold that matters – even if the door stays open

Great interior design isn't about adding more – it's about carefully editing until only what truly matters remains

Creating a home that is as livable as it is beautiful is about making practical choices about how you and your family live, and accepting that it will evolve with you

The structure, color, and fragrance of the flowers I choose for my projects are integral to my interiors – shaping spaces that feel layered, sensory, and beautifully lived in

When walls become art, a room becomes unforgettable

A home is not an Instagram post, it is something you move through, grow within, and hopefully, return to each day

Now that it’s my own home, I’m surprised by how different the decorating process feels – here’s what I’m changing

Over the years, I have come up with a list of items that I include in the design of a home to help the client become the perfect host

When the entryway is designed well, it makes the whole house feel more intentional

Mood, after all, is built in layers – and it’s the most romantic spaces that stay with you, because they make you feel something

Wallpaper has got cool again – and now feels more modern than ever (even the most traditional prints)

Lighting elevates everything around it. It makes wood feel richer, fabrics feel softer, and colors more nuanced

Bathrooms have to work hard – but with a few thoughtful choices, they can feel just as considered as any other room.

The idea of decorating with flowers isn’t new, but the impact they have on a space never gets old

Although no two projects are the same, they all start out with me looking at them the same way

I’ve found that even the smallest spring refresh can completely transform how my home feels – and how I feel in it

The warm scent of sage and amber drifts through the rooms. Soft music plays, a bottle of wine is uncorked, and for a moment, we simply take it all in – we’ve made it

These are the essentials that appear in every one of my projects – principles you can draw inspiration from in your own home, too

It's not just where to visit, but knowing what to buy when you're there
