When I first delved into the world of interiors – professionally – I struggled with what to call myself. I hesitated to call myself a designer as I’m not formally trained and decorator didn’t quite feel right. It’s only been in the last few months that I’ve come up a title – Stylist. I style spaces. From finishes to furnishing to accessories, I style. I’m an interior stylist.
My favourite part of the design process is when all the major pieces – surfaces, furnishings and textiles are in and I get to style the space for the client reveal or a photo shoot. It’s when the whole vision comes together – little elements that on their own may appear insignificant brought together to tell a story. Because, design after all is in the details.
This post has been on the back burner for the last six months! I meant to share it shortly after my living room reveal. But every time I thought about posting it something else came up. So a couple months ago, I cut myself some slack and decided the new year would be the perfect time to share. Since it’s a time when many of us are committing to our goals, things like working better, staying focused, and nurturing creativity, all while staying more organized. I thought my office reveal would be perfect for January and perhaps inspire you to create a little creative sanctuary of your own.
