How to Curate Art & Objects Like a Pro
Craft interiors that feel collected, intentional, and deeply personal.
The most memorable interiors tell stories through objects. We love to use art objects to create spaces that feel like a gallery for a life well-lived. You can create that same richness by curating your home with art and objects that matter.
Tell Your Story
Craft interiors that feel collected, intentional, and deeply personal through art and objects.
Start with what you love: pieces from travel, vintage finds, heirlooms, or contemporary work that sparks emotion. Mix mediums (painting, sculpture, ceramics) and vary scale and placement. Group objects with a common thread (material, color, origin) to create cohesion.
Have Some Fun
Whatever your style, layer in personal elements—textiles, books, vintage finds, art.
Layer on open shelving, mantels, or coffee tables. Don’t be afraid of empty space—it allows objects to breathe. And use lighting strategically to highlight special pieces.
A well-curated interior doesn’t happen overnight. It evolves over time, with thought and heart.

How to Build a Signature Color Palette
Unlock a color palette that reflects your personality and complements your space.
Color is the most personal element of interior design. It influences mood, impacts spatial perception, and speaks volumes about who you are.
Create A Mood
Balance bold hues with soft neutrals and tie rooms together.
We use color as narrative, creating a thematic story arc through color. This allows us to create a mood which transcends across multiple rooms, creating spaces that feel expressive, intelligent, and alive.
Artwork, books, and materials allow our Benedict Canyon project to evolve as you move through spaces.
To build your own signature palette, start by identifying colors you naturally gravitate toward—in fashion, nature, and art. Create a mood board (digital or physical) to test combinations. Think in terms of dominant (walls), secondary (furniture), and accent (art/accessories) tones. Balance bold hues with soft neutrals to create cohesion.
Texture, pattern, and materials provide pops of color and tie rooms together.
Play with finishes (matte vs. gloss), test swatches in morning and evening light, and don't be afraid to add a "wild card" tone for contrast. Your palette is not just visual—it’s emotional.
Our Benedict Canyon project evolves its use of color to evoke new emotions in every room.

The Art of Layered Interiors
Master the mix of old and new, rich and raw. Learn how to bring depth, warmth, and complexity into your space.
Layering is what turns a house into a home. It tells stories.
We are known for our richly layered spaces—an interplay of textures, time periods, and colors that exude luxury.
Start with foundational elements: a neutral rug, timeless sofa, and well-crafted lighting. Then layer in personal elements—textiles, books, vintage finds, art—with an eye for proportion and patina. Contrast rough with refined: velvet and raw linen, polished wood and oxidized metal.
Think in layers vertically too—wall color, shelving, sconces, drapery. Keep a consistent tone across the space, but allow each object its own voice. It's this tension between harmony and individuality that defines a layered interior.

How to Mix Bold Patterns Without Chaos
Achieve confident patternplay with these styling strategies for daring but cohesive interiors.
Mixing patterns isn’t just for maximalists—it’s a refined way to inject energy and emotion into a space. The key is to create rhythm through scale, repetition, and a balanced palette.
Mixing Patterns
A signature color palette ties the room together while a mix of patterns adds excitement.
Begin with a hero pattern—a floral wallpaper or graphic rug—that sets the tone. Then layer in supporting prints in complementary colors and varying scales. For example, pair a large-scale botanical with a smaller stripe or check.
Harmonious Tones
A foundational color palette allows for a playful use of texture and pattern. Tile is a great way to create a layered interior.
Choose a consistent color family to keep the room anchored, and add solids or textured neutrals to give the eye space to rest. When in doubt, take a cue from fashion: patterns work best when one dominates and others harmonize.

Functional Elegance: Designing for Lifestyle & Aesthetics
Learn how to create interiors that are both beautiful and livable—where form meets function, and luxury meets real life.
Your home should feel as good as it looks. That’s the core of functional elegance: marrying design with everyday ease. We work with our clients to ensure their homes are serene and stunning, but built for living.
Start by mapping your daily rhythms. Where do you drop your keys? Where do your kids play? Design around these points with solutions that enhance flow: built-in storage, durable materials, intuitive lighting.
Elegance doesn’t have to be delicate. Natural woods, sculptural furniture, and artisanal surfaces bring beauty without fragility. Consider sight lines, tactile surfaces, and spatial breathing room.
Function elevates beauty when done right—and beauty feels more meaningful when it supports the way you live.
