We think interiors should do more than just look good—they should make you smile. Whether it's through playful design elements, bold colours, or unexpected details, we love designing spaces that feel uplifting and personal and spark a little happiness every time you walk in.
Playful design
We’re drawn to design with character. Whether it’s a sculptural chair or an oversized lamp that seem to have personalities of their own, these bold pieces create moments of delight. Art can play a similar role - introducing dynamism, energy, or a subtle sense of intrigue.
Often it’s the unexpected - a touch of humour, a whimsical shape, or an unconventional scale - that brings warmth and vitality to a space.
Bold colour
Colour has the power to change the entire mood of a room. We love introducing vibrant, rich tones to inject energy into a space. A bold paint colour on a ceiling, a vibrant rug, or a colourful piece of furniture can completely transform the atmosphere, making it feel alive and inspiring.
We balance these bolder hues with calming neutrals tones, so spaces feel grounded and inviting. The key is to create an interior where you can feel at home, finding a harmony that makes you want to settle in and stay a while.
Texture and comfort
Happiness in a space often comes down to its materiality. We pay close attention to texture, choosing finishes that invite you to linger - a woven rug underfoot, a sofa you sink into, natural woods that warm the hand.
These tactile experiences bring comfort and familiarity, grounding a space emotionally as much as visually.
Unexpected details
The most memorable spaces often reveal themselves slowly. A bold, patterned tile hidden inside a pantry, a light fixture that casts a unique shadow on the wall, or a hand-carved detail on a cabinet edge that only reveals itself up close.
It’s these unexpected details - the ones that make people pause and smile - that leave a lasting impression and keep a space feeling engaging and full of life.
Personal touches
There’s nothing like a personal touch to instantly lift the mood of a space. Whether it’s a cherished family heirloom, a collection of meaningful objects, or a photo capturing a special memory, these personal details add an element of joy that’s impossible to replicate. Even a piece of art with a story behind it or an item that reminds you of a happy moment can fill a room with warmth and positivity.
