If the Canadian firm Anthology Creative Studio hasn't come up on your instagram feed yet, trust me... they will. This design studio has a perfectly undone aesthetic that's both minimal and textural, while still being very intentional. Their studio embodies a creative process that begins with a narrative framework and you can see their storytelling approach play out in every space they touch. Although wabi-sabi is definitely having a moment, Anthology Interiors is making a s

If you've ever been in the market for a new sofa or chair, you understand how expansive the world of fabrics is. There's cotton, linen, basket weave, velvet, melange, boucle, leather, polyester, acrylic and more. It can be overwhelming, to say the least! Design: Amber Lewis | Photography: Tessa Neustadt One late afternoon last week, I was in West Elm picking up a few swatches for a sofa I'm sourcing for a client. At the swatch counter, I kept having to dance around (read: att

If you're a design buff and haven't seen this image yet, you have most certainly been living under a rock (or aren't on social media, which is the 2020 equivalent of living under a rock). The design I'm analyzing today is none other than the beautiful bedroom sitting area that adorns Amber Lewis's new book cover.

I guess technically that makes it more of a mood board than an e-design, but I'm hoping to use it as an example of the scope of what this servi

This is probably my favorite series to write because it gives me the opportunity to slow down and examine every detail of a design. Social media can be great for helping us find new ideas, but mindless scrolling has caused our attention spans to shorten (looking at you, Instagram) . In this series, I take a full s

Let's face it, we're all spending more time in our homes than ever before (thanks, COVID) and whether you're itching for things to get back to normal or a you're a proud homebody (like me), you have undoubtedly come to realize how much your home's design impacts your general well-being.
