How do you incorporate a client’s personality into your designs?
It’s about listening, observing and translating their unique story into the space. For example, imagine a book-loving client who also loves entertaining. We might design a living room with custom-built, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a cozy reading nook. For entertaining, we’d integrate modular seating and a sleek bar cart to keep the space flexible and functional. Adding personal touches, such as lighting inspired by their favorite design era or art that resonates with their travels, and the room becomes a true extension of who they are.
