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.

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.

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.
