Designing with Joy: Finding the Right Designer (and Having Fun Along the Way!)

When it comes to designing your home, it’s natural to feel a mix of excitement and overwhelm. After all, your space is deeply personal — it’s where your life unfolds, your style shines, and your most meaningful moments happen. But here’s the thing: while the process is important, it doesn’t have to feel daunting. In fact, it should be enjoyable! At its best, design is not just about creating beautiful spaces; it’s about creating an experience that feels just as good as the end result.

One of the most essential (and often overlooked) parts of the journey is finding the right designer for you. It’s about more than credentials or portfolios — it’s about chemistry, shared vision, and a sense of collaboration that feels easy and energizing.

How Do You Know When You've Found the Right Designer?

It starts with connection. The right designer listens deeply, understands your lifestyle, and brings fresh ideas that excite you. But more importantly, they make you feel heard and respected throughout the process. You should feel like you’re working with someone, not just hiring them.

A good design partnership feels like an easy conversation. You can bounce ideas back and forth, explore new possibilities, and laugh along the way. Even if you’re unsure about certain choices, your designer should guide you with clarity and encouragement, not pressure.

Ask yourself:

• Do I feel comfortable sharing my honest opinions?

• Does my designer seem genuinely interested in my style and how I live?

• Am I feeling excited and inspired by our conversations? If the answer is yes, you’re in the right place.

Don’t Forget to Enjoy the Process

Design isn’t meant to be stressful or overly serious. While we absolutely respect the craft and take your project to heart, we also believe in embracing the playful, creative side of the process. Some of the best design moments happen when you let go of perfection and lean into exploration.

Mixing textures, trying unexpected color combinations, or even rethinking the layout of a familiar room can be exciting adventures. It’s in these moments of curiosity and collaboration that spaces truly come to life. When you work with a designer who encourages this kind of playfulness, the experience becomes not just productive, but joyful.
