TESTIMONIALS
“It’s cool and light. Not too loud. Comfortable color (especially if you want people who come into your office to feel “chill”... shoutout to raging parents or intimidated students).”
“I will definitely recommend you to my friends. I’m also excited to see their reactions when they see the dining room.”
Secrets I Learned as a Designer
Some things I certainly wish I knew earlier. But, no worries, I will let you in on my secrets!
1. Always measure your space.
It always pays to measure. You can never be too careful. The wrong size can always lead to purchase regrets. I once purchased this beautiful mirror that I thought was perfect for my bath. But I wasn’t sure about the size. It ended up being too huge. It’s still there grossly reminding me of my mistake!
2. Have a mood board.
A mood board helps set the ambience, the feelings you want evoked in your space. You can make this digitally and use it whenever you go out shopping for your furniture and accessories. It will help you narrow down your choices and definitely eliminate those unwanted impulse purchases.
3. Have a photo of your space.
If it’s a trend, ask yourself “Will I still love this a year from now, 5 years? Just because everyone’s in love with it now doesn’t mean you should buy it. It may not fit your room or even your scheme. So always have a photo of your space to check if it actually fits your decor.
4. Follow your color scheme and design style.
You see this gorgeous azure vase and it seems to be calling to you. The price ain’t bad either. You think it’s a deal but check out your design colors and design style too. Will it fit? Or is it too harsh? Don’t buy it and only regret over impulsive decisions. That’s always something that will be relegated to the corner.

COLOR ME, BABY!
Why do minimalist interiors need to be bland when color can make it so much more lively? Read on to know how to add color to your minimalistic interiors!
Minimalism. One of the popular ways of decluttering and organizing your home is the Japanese Marie Kondo method. In terms of minimalism, the Japanese have that perfected! Indeed, why does it seem so popular nowadays? I believe it is because as time passes us by, we tend to accumulate things whether it be clothes, house décor or our travel mementos. Why do we have this need for simplicity? Why is it important? With our world being subjected to so much information at the tip of our hands, we need stillness in order to focus on the important matters in our lives. One of the best ways of doing this is by practicing minimalism at home. There is a variety of ways to achieve minimalism in your home without making it bland.

We tend to go for the classic black-and-white palette or stick with the neutrals. Don’t get me wrong as there's no harm in that. However, a minimalist home does not necessarily mean a neutral color scheme. You can add some colors and still achieve minimalistic interiors with your favorite hues.
A good way to start is to consider using Pantone's color of the year. This is perfect if you’re one of those who love to switch things at home once in a while. This year, it is Pantone Greenery – a fresh yellow-green that reminds us of spring and new beginnings. Aside from the fact that Pantone gives you color pairings, it is also the professional's standard guide for color! You may want to pair this color with a cool-toned blue or a pastel yellow. Simple yet warm and cheerful colors.

Bolder choices of colors like a ruby red or a daffodil yellow can bring a modern urban taste. Wanting to go further? Try incorporating an entire wall or all of your accent pieces in these strong and bold colors!

Once you choose an accent color, add this to your home by using it on either the furniture, and/or the accessories or an accent wall. Keep the rest of your interiors in neutral colors, whether it be a porcelain white, a mocha latte, or a dove gray.
