Full design, e-design, styling and sourcing for people who want a home that looks considered and still survives a Tuesday.
Beautiful homes you can actually live in
Ava Thompson
Plenty of homes photograph well. Fewer of them work at seven in the morning when three people need the same doorway.
That is the bit we care about. Where the bags land. Whether the sofa fabric forgives a dog. How the room feels at four in the afternoon in November, not just in the styling shots.
The result still looks like something you would save. It just also gets used.
Design that holds up after the photographer leaves
Featured in:
For rooms that are nearly there. We work with what you already own, add what is missing, and finally make the space feel finished.
Styling
A complete design for your room, delivered digitally. Layout, scheme, shopping list, and clear guidance on what goes where. You order and install at your own pace.
E-Design
Start to finish, one room or the whole house. We plan it, source it, manage it and style it. You approve things and then go about your life.

Four ways in
Some people want the whole thing handled. Some want a plan they can run themselves. Both are fine.
Secondhand sourcing. We hunt down vintage and preloved pieces that suit your home, your budget and your actual dimensions.

I have been designing and styling homes for twelve years, the first six of them in retail interiors and the last six here, working directly with people in their own houses.

I am not precious about it. I would rather you love the room in three years than love it in the photographs.
