Every summer, I try to step away from the day-to-day and head to the island with my family. We’ve just wrapped up a few wonderful weeks spent on Chappaquiddick (or "Chappy" if you know, you know), tucked just off the coast of Edgartown, with a little time in Nantucket sprinkled in for good measure.

I worked remotely while soaking up the salty air, sharing sun-drenched afternoons with my family, laughing with mom friends who made the trek, and enjoying a dreamy overnight visit with a friend in Sconset.

But let’s be honest—once a designer, always a designer. And I couldn’t help but bring home a camera roll full of inspiration and a head full of ideas.

We believe in beautiful homes—but not the kind that ask you to live around them. Life is inherently messy: kids spill, dogs nap where they shouldn’t, shoes pile up, and the good throw blanket becomes a fort.

And yet, your home shouldn’t feel like it’s constantly in crisis. That’s where we lean into what we call “beautiful practical”—a design philosophy that blends elevated aesthetics with everyday durability. It’s not about compromise. It’s about designing smart, with heart.

Here’s how we help clients create spaces that are both stunning and livable—one decision at a time.

Each season has a rhythm—and summer’s is soft, sunlit, and just a little bit slower. This month, we’re leaning into pieces that bring beauty to the everyday, with a mix of refined accents, vintage charm, and playful touches for home (and life) that feel effortless and joyful.

Here are our favorite finds for July!

You don’t always need to take a sledgehammer to your space to feel like you’re living in something new. At Style and Space, we often guide clients through what we call soft renovations—strategic, design-driven updates that refresh the look and feel of a home without tearing it down to the studs.

These updates aren’t just budget-friendly—they’re time-conscious, highly effective, and often where the magic happens.

Here’s how we help clients reimagine their homes—no demo required!

One of the most common questions in the design process is:

“What’s your style?”

It sounds simple, but it often makes people freeze. Do I say mid-century modern? Coastal farmhouse? Minimalist? Is “warm” a style? What if I like vintage rugs and clean lines?

The truth is: design style isn’t one-size-fits-all, and your home doesn’t need to fit into a neat, Instagrammable label. In fact, trying to define your style with just one or two adjectives can limit your creativity and leave you feeling boxed in before you even begin.

Let’s change that.

There’s nothing more exciting (or practical!) than designing a space that can truly do it all. Whether you’re working with a smaller footprint or just want your home to flex with your lifestyle, a well-designed multi-functional room can make everyday life feel more seamless and inspired.

Here’s how to create a flexible space that feels intentional—no matter how you’re using it today, tomorrow, or five years from now.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 month, we’re drawn to pieces that blend joy, texture, and craftsmanship. Here are eight current favorites we're loving for spring and summer layering!

May brings a fresh perspective—windows open, natural light pouring in, and a collective urge to breathe new life into our homes. 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you, like us, have been completely captivated by the stunning aesthetic of White Lotus Thailand—the serene yet dramatic spaces, the layered textures, the mix of high-shine lacquer and raw natural materials—then it’s time to bring that elevated, Asian-inspired sophistication into your own home.

Here’s how we’re channeling the look!
