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.

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.

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!

Every great space starts with a vision, but translating that vision into a tangible, functional design takes a well-structured process. At Style and Space, we believe in a layered and thoughtful approach—one that ensures every detail is considered while keeping the bigger picture in focus. A key part of this process? Renderings.

Embarking on a new design project is exciting, and the best way to set yourself up for success is to come prepared with a clear vision. A well-thought-out mood board can help translate your ideas into something tangible and cohesive, serving as a guiding light throughout the design process. Here’s how to create your own mood board and gather inspiration to maximize your collaboration with an interior designer.

Designing a playroom is one of the most exciting projects a parent or caregiver can embark on. It’s a space where creativity, comfort, and fun seamlessly blend. As a designer, I’m passionate about crafting environments that not only reflect my clients’ personalities but also evolve with the changing needs of the family.

Nestled in the rugged beauty of the Sonoran Desert, Taliesin West is more than just architecture; it’s a living dialogue between vision and execution. On my recent visit, I was reminded of why Frank Lloyd Wright’s work resonates so deeply with our approach to design. Taliesin West embodies the balance between big-picture vision and the details that bring it to life—a balance we strive for in every project we undertake.
