There’s something magical about a well-designed space. It’s not just about the aesthetics - the bold wallpaper, the perfectly chosen accent chair, or the ideal shade of paint on the walls. It’s about the feeling that washes over you when you step into a room. It’s about how the design of a space mirrors who you are and sparks inspiration, creativity, and joy.

I recently had the privilege of sitting down with Philadelphia-based artist, Emily Ennulat, and hearing the story behind her latest wallpaper line. Emily shared how each design was intentionally named after women in her family that came before her. Women that had dreams as aspirations but didn’t have the opportunity to see those dreams come alive. Her creations aren’t just decoration; it’s part of the environment that shapes the way we feel, think, and live.

As I listened to Emily speak, I couldn’t help but think about a podcast I’d heard with author, artist, and poet Jackie Hill Perry. Jackie shared how she intentionally designs her home for hospitality - not just to create a welcoming environment for guests, but also to ensure it’s functional and nurturing for her family. Her home isn’t just beautiful; it’s a space designed to support the lives of those who live there, to foster connection, peace, and purpose. This resonated deeply with me because, at the heart of what I do as an interior designer, I believe that home design is so much more than just beauty. It’s a tool for living. It’s a way to create an environment where you can thrive.

Your Home as a Reflection of You

When you walk into your home, what does it say to you? Does it support the way you want to live? Does it make you feel energized, calm, or inspired? Or does it leave you feeling overwhelmed and disconnected? Your home is more than just four walls—it’s a reflection of your life, your values, and your dreams. And when it’s designed with intention, it has the power to elevate your experience and nurture the person you’re becoming.

Every time I work with a new client, I take the time to really understand their story. I want to know what they value, how they move through their space, and most importantly, how they want to feel in that space. I don’t believe in cookie-cutter designs. Every home should feel as unique as the person or family living there. Design should make you feel seen, understood, and inspired. It should lift you up and support you, creating an environment where you can thrive in all aspects of your life.

The Solution: Designing with Purpose

Designing with purpose is what sets my approach apart. It’s not just about selecting pretty things. It’s about weaving together a vision for your space that aligns with who you are and how you want to feel. Whether you’re seeking calm, inspiration, energy, or balance, I work with you to create a space that nourishes your soul and helps you live the life you aspire to.

If you’re ready to transform your space into a place that inspires you every day, I’d love to help.
