From six chairs around a rectangular table to a cosy dining nook built for lingering. The biggest change here wasn’t just the furniture—it was the way the space is used.

Before:
• A conventional dining setup taking up most of the room

After:
• A custom banquette that comfortably seats more people
• A round table that makes conversations flow better
• Soft blush walls that bring warmth to the space
• A flock of brass birds adding a playful touch overhead

The result? A dining corner that feels more like everyone’s favourite seat in the house.

    The brick wall is the star of this balcony. By da The brick wall is the star of this balcony.

By day, it brings warmth and texture.

By evening, the spotlights take over—washing the surface with light and revealing every ridge, groove, and imperfection that makes brick so beautiful.

Add a pair of woven pendants casting their own patterns, and this little corner transforms completely after sunset.

Proof that good materials get even better with good lighting.

We flipped the sofa to the opposite wall—and the entire space started working differently.

Before:
• The seating interrupted the flow between living and dining

After:
• A clearer pathway through the home
• Better visual connection between living and dining
• A dedicated TV wall with layered artwork and styling
• Space for a decorative partition that gently defines zones without closing them off

One furniture move.
A completely different experience of the room.

    Dining lights have a tough job. They need to make Dining lights have a tough job.

They need to make the food look good, the table feel inviting, and somehow avoid becoming the only thing anyone notices.

A few things we look for:

• The right scale for the table
• Light that feels warm, not interrogation-room bright
• A shape that adds personality without stealing the show
• Something worth looking at even when it’s switched off

These are our favourites. Which one is yours?

The biggest change here? We flipped the bed placement entirely.

Before:
• the bed blocked movement and made the room feel tighter
• bulky furniture + dark curtains made the space feel heavier than it was

After:
• the new bed position opened up the layout
• a full-height wardrobe streamlined the storage
• soft neutrals + layered textures made the room feel calmer and brighter
• wall lights freed up bedside space and added a boutique-hotel vibe

Sometimes the smartest design move isn’t adding more.
It’s simply rethinking the plan.

    A dressing corner designed for a teenager who want A dressing corner designed for a teenager who wanted her room to feel soft, calm, and just a little bit Pinterest-worthy 💗

This nook was designed to do a little bit of everything:
• dressing table + window seat
• soft curves to keep the space feeling playful
• an arched mirror to visually open up the corner
• warm lighting that feels dreamy at night
• and layered blush tones because apparently “just one pink” was not enough 😄

    Headboards are basically the eyebrows of a bedroom Headboards are basically the eyebrows of a bedroom. 

They do three main jobs:

• Stop pillows from escaping
• Give you something to lean on during late-night scrolling
• Make the bed look far more put together than it probably is

From upholstered panels to warm wood details and everything in between, headboards quietly set the tone for the entire room.

These are our favourites. Which one is yours?

    Soft neutrals, layered textures, and one chair tha Soft neutrals, layered textures, and one chair that quietly steals the spotlight 🤍

This living room was designed to feel calm without feeling flat:
• textural fabrics instead of loud contrasts
• curved seating to soften all the straight architectural lines
• sheer curtains that let the daylight do most of the work
• warm wood tones to balance the creamy palette
• and subtle patterns that reveal themselves slowly
