A closer look at how our spaces reflect how we live and what we value.
When it comes to choosing a home, we often focus on the practical things: square footage, layout, natural light, a quiet street. But how we choose to live inside those walls can be just as revealing. Design isn’t just about aesthetics it’s about alignment. The textures, tones, and objects we surround ourselves with offer subtle clues about how we move through the world, and what feels right in this season of life.
In the Pacific Northwest, design often leans toward warmth, function, and comfort with spaces that reflect the pace of life here. These are a few of the styles we’ve seen showing up most often:
The quiet collector
Style: clean lines, warm neutrals, intentional choices
Your home is curated, but not precious. There’s a balance of vintage and modern, texture and tone. Light is part of the design. Things have purpose and often a story. You keep it simple, but not stark.
Trending details: Natural wood, soft lighting, earth tones, meaningful decor that’s been gathered over time.
The layered soul
Style: personal, expressive, collected over time
Your space is full of personality. Art, color, books, conversation pieces. It’s lived in, loved, and a little unexpected in the best way. Your style doesn’t follow rules it follows what feels right.
Trending details: Maximalism with intention, vintage finds, bold walls, and plenty of lived-in charm.
The grounded gatherer
Style: comfortable, calming, functional
This is a space that puts people at ease. It’s designed for everyday life-soft textures, easy flow, a bit of quiet. You focus on how a room feels, not just how it looks. It’s about comfort and connection.
Trending details: Muted palettes, plush seating, layered textiles, cozy lighting, and thoughtful layout choices.
So, where do you land?
Your home doesn’t need to fit neatly into one category and it may change over time. But if your space no longer reflects how you want to live, it might be time for something new. That could mean a fresh layout, new neighborhood, or a new chapter entirely.
If you’re ready for a home that feels more like where you’re going not just where you’ve been, we’re always here to help you explore what’s next.
