This was our own home, which made it either easier or harder depending on how you look at it. No client to answer to. Just rooms that had sat a little wrong for too long. The living room felt too big to settle into. The entryway offered no landing spot. The office had no warmth. Good for working, not for anything else.
We worked room by room rather than all at once. Furniture arrangement came first in the living room, then layering: rugs, textiles and objects that actually belonged there. The entryway got a console and some art. Nothing dramatic, just something to land on before the rest of the house opened up. The office was last. Warmer materials, softer lighting, a few pieces that made it feel occupied rather than staged.
Nothing was rebuilt. No walls came down. Every change was about how the space was put together, not what it was made of. That was the point. We wanted to know what was possible when you work with what you have. Turns out, quite a lot.
