Fabrics and Finishes:

With family, friends, and pets in the picture,
durability is a priority. We offer a carefully curated selection of long-lasting fabrics and finishes that are
stain-resistant, easy to clean, and able to withstand the wear and tear of daily life, without compromising on style or aesthetics. We have access to exclusive fabric lines that aren’t available to the general public, so you’ll always have access to the best quality products.

We believe that kid-friendly spaces can still be chic and stylish. From modern playrooms to charming nurseries, our designs seamlessly blend functionality with your personal aesthetic style, creating spaces that inspire creativity and delight both children and adults. You don’t need to commit to a life of primary colors and plastic toys just because children enter the picture. There are better options out there, and an experienced interior designer will help your child-friendly areas feel like a natural extension of your home.
