At TruDesign, great design isn’t just about the space, it’s about the people who bring it to life.

What was the overall vision for your space?
Relaxed elegance. I wanted the room to feel like a retreat; soft, textural, and serene, with just enough interest to make it feel memorable.

What’s your favorite thing about your space?
The wallpaper. It completely sets the tone for the space.

What advice would you give to homeowners regarding the key things to keep in mind when designing (your) space?
Comfort first, always. Layer in the softest bedding you can find, provide multiple lighting options, and include thoughtful touches that make the space feel like home, like a small tray with water and snacks, a few books or magazines, and a place to unpack. These little details are what make a space feel welcoming and well-loved.

Every design choice was made with daily living in mind. Nightstands with storage, cozy textiles, a reading chair positioned for light – all of it works together to create a space that feels effortless yet intentional.
