There is one style in particular we find ourselves re-creating over and over again and it is
Mid-Century Modern
We can’t think of anything more comforting than sitting back on a winter’s morning with a good book and a sip of coffee in a living room full of nature inspired colors, textures, simple minimalistic lines, and turn-of-the-century
Timeless pieces.
Our favorite timeless piece is the Charles Eames chair originally dated from 1956.

There’s so much to love about this chair like the way it seems to cradle around you as you sit in it. You hardly need the ottoman with how comfortable this chair is!

You can buy this chair directly from the official Eames website or you can own a piece of luxury from online retailers like Lumens Light + Living.
For a lot lot less, you can find it online from retailers like Wayfair or Amazon.

Organic and geometric shapes
Spheres, rectangles, ovals, and hexagons!

Function over form!
As a kitchen and bath designer, I strongly emphasize function over form all the time in my designs especially in the kitchen!
I can problem solve to make it look spectacular, but ultimately, every aspect of your design has to have a purpose.
Check, mate!
