DON’T RUSH THE DESIGN PROCESS
The intersection of colour, materials, form, light, acoustics and plants (and possibly water) all contribute to a pleasing, healing and inviting space, whether it be a residential, or a corporate environment.

Once I achieve this, the second layer of design is having conversations with my clients to learn how I can help them to (re)introduce a design style that will evoke: the emotions they want to experience in their new space, joy and create a sense of well-being.

If you've never been through a design selection process, being presented with one or two design palettes can be overwhelming for some: showing various fabrics, tile options, floor plans, furniture styles, and lighting options.
It necessitates time to mull over, leave for a few days and return to it with fresh eyes and perhaps with a new mindset to reconsider a fabric, let's say, that you poo-poo'd the first time.

The design process will definitely leave you with an expanded perspective on what you like now - and maybe you hadn't considered before, or never thought you liked. If this sounds unlikely and profound, it's true and it is, IMHO.
How we design and decorate our homes, our most intimate sanctuaries, is a reflection of who we are, where we're at in life, puts on display what we value, and provides a showcase to display our personalities.
