Where to start? Find one element you adore and build around it.

When you’re starting with an empty room and white walls, it can be hard to know where to begin. I always recommend finding one thing you truly love… something that can become the focal point or guiding force for the design of the space. It might be an architectural detail, a favorite piece of furniture, a bold wallpaper, or even a fabric swatch. That one beloved element can spark inspiration for your entire design direction.
