Introduction
In a world of fleeting trends, how do you create spaces that stand the test of time? After 15 years in the industry, I've distilled our approach into five core principles.
1. Quality Over Quantity
Invest in fewer, better pieces. A single well-crafted chair will outlast and outshine a room full of disposable furniture.
2. Neutral Foundation, Colorful Accents
Build your base palette with timeless neutrals—warm whites, soft grays, natural wood tones. Introduce color through easily changeable elements like textiles, art, and accessories.
3. Respect Proportions
Understanding scale is crucial. A room with properly proportioned furniture feels effortlessly elegant, while poor proportions create constant visual discord.
4. Layer Lighting
Never rely on a single light source. Combine ambient, task, and accent lighting to create depth and flexibility in any space.
5. Edit Ruthlessly
The most elegant spaces often have the fewest objects. Every item should earn its place through function, beauty, or meaning.
Conclusion
These principles aren't rules—they're guidelines that provide freedom. Master them, and you'll have the foundation to create spaces that remain beautiful for decades.
