June Favorites: 8 Thoughtfully Designed Pieces to Refresh Your Home
Summer is on its way, and I’m leaning into textures, easy entertaining, and pieces that feel special but versatile—whether you’re hosting on the patio, refreshing your powder room, or simply adding those little finishing touches that make your home sing.
Here are a few of my favorite finds for June—a mix of design-forward staples and beautiful, useful pieces I’m loving right now.
How Custom Details and Finishing Touches Bring a Whole Home Together
Designing a home is more than just selecting paint colors or choosing the right sofa—it's about storytelling. Every space has the potential to reflect the personality, lifestyle, and aspirations of the people who live there. And while the big-ticket items make the initial impression, it’s the custom details and finishing touches that truly bring a home to life.
Family-Friendly Interior Design Trends for 2025: Where Style Meets Real Life
If you're like most families we work with, your home has to do a little bit of everything: playroom, work zone, dinner spot, cozy movie night hub, and maybe even a scooter racetrack on rainy days.
The good news? This year’s design trends are full of inspiration for creating homes that are not only stylish but truly livable for life with little ones.
How to Style Shelves and Coffee Tables Like a Designer
A beautifully styled shelf or coffee table has the power to make a room feel complete, curated, and lived-in. It’s that finishing layer that adds soul and personality to a space. But styling can also feel intimidating—how do you strike the right balance between effortless and intentional?
Here are some of my favorite designer tips to help you get it right.
Project Spotlight: A Cool-Girl Retreat in the Heart of NYC
There’s something beautifully symbolic about redefining your home as you step into a new chapter of life. For this Manhattan empty nester, ready to embrace more color, charm, and personality, we transformed her Upper East Side apartment into a "cool-girl" retreat with edge and elegance.

This season, interior design is leaning into layers of comfort, organic materials, and refined personality. Here’s what we're loving right now at Style and Space Interiors!
High Point Market: Where Design Dreams Come to Life
Twice a year, the design world flocks to North Carolina for High Point Market, the ultimate gathering of furniture makers, textile designers, lighting innovators, and tastemakers pushing the boundaries of interior design. It’s part trade show, part treasure hunt, and a full-on inspiration overload—a place where you can see, touch, and experience what’s next in the industry before it hits showrooms and magazines.
For me, the magic of High Point isn’t just in discovering what’s new—it’s in seeing how classic design principles are reimagined in fresh and unexpected ways.
April Favorites: A Curated Spring Refresh
Spring is the season of renewal—longer days, fresh blooms, and the perfect excuse to refresh our homes and wardrobes with pieces that feel both intentional and inspired. This month, I’m drawn to a mix of elevated essentials that bring warmth, texture, and personality into a space (or wardrobe!). Whether it’s a chic new vanity for a powder room, a playful yet sophisticated art print, or a dreamy spring dress, these picks are all about effortless style and timeless design.
Spring Break Adventure: Exploring Europe Through a Child’s Eyes
This year for Spring Break, my husband and I are taking our two kids, Henry (6) and Edie (3), on an adventure to some of Europe’s most iconic cities. The inspiration? Their growing curiosity about the world—fueled by their school lessons and one of their favorite books, Richard Scarry’s Busy, Busy World.
Bring Your Daughter to Work Day (Unplanned but Perfect)
Starting my own business eight years ago was the biggest risk I’ve ever taken.
I had so much self-doubt. But bringing Edie to work and showing her, in real-time, that her mom owns and operates a high-end interior design firm—that was one of those full-circle, pinch-me moments.
I want my kids to grow up knowing they can follow their own dreams, no matter how unconventional. That there are no rules. No boundaries. That they don’t have to fit into a mold—they can create something entirely their own.
The Beauty of Multifunctional Furniture: Designing for Life’s Changing Needs
Whether you’re working with a small space that needs to function as both a guest room and an office, or you have a unique area that needs to serve multiple purposes, the right furniture can completely transform your home. And the best part? You don’t have to sacrifice beauty for function. Thoughtful, multifunctional pieces allow your space to adapt to your needs—seamlessly and stylishly.
The Heart of It All: Women, Business & Health at the Morgan Stanley Go Red Event
Walking into the Morgan Stanley Go Red for Women Leadership Event, I felt an immediate sense of power—a room filled with women who are not only building businesses but also shaping industries, leading families, and showing up for their communities. But what struck me most was the shared realization that, despite all we juggle, our health has to come first.

Restoring the Astor House: A Design Journey with the NYJL
Tucked away on the Upper East Side, 130 East 80th Street, known as the Astor House, serves as the headquarters for the New York Junior League (NYJL). This five-story townhouse with two sub-basements is more than just a meeting place—it’s where passionate women come together to drive meaningful change in the community. And like any well-loved home, it carries a rich history, one that deserves to be honored and elevated.
