It’s almost time to celebrate Earth Day! Here are some design and home decor ideas to enjoy your garden and kitchen sustainably!

Discover easy ways to add character to your home in this styling series inspired much by stylists of social media, who create a character and exercise their creativity through styling outfits that character may wear for different occasions.

Since I am an interior designer after all, I have zeroed in on a specific aesthetic to bring you inspiration full of character! I am curious as to how imagined characters might live in and style their space. And how we can develop a style translated through our home that speaks to our personality. As much as this is an exercise in styling- this is a series focused on imaginative play and dress up, not with clothes but with interiors.

Please shop our design finds to incorporate this look and sustainable swaps for your home.
