Design Philosophy
We are a family team of home design enthusiasts, organizers and visual artists. We value clean, calm, curated spaces to relax and unwind, to be productive and focused. We approach each home or office with a goal to reduce stress caused by clutter, visual noise, or awkward layouts. By aligning the architecture of a room, the furniture at hand, and your décor, your space will feel composed and cohesive. We work with your needs, budget, furniture, and décor. Our approach draws from a number of design aesthetics, values, and beliefs, including:
Marie Kondo: Embrace and cultivate joy in the objects in our homes and the relationship between furniture, décor, and space should elicit this joy.
The Shakers: The wonder of Shakers is their ability to create functional, elegant spaces. Everything has a purpose for everyday living. We aspire to calm, beautiful, functional spaces.
➤ listening
We begin with a walk through of your home or office, paying attention to flow, light, and function. We will talk about goals and values for you and your family.
➤ Designing
We break down our design ideas and suggestions into into manageable tasks. This is always a team approach with lots of discussion and input from everyone. It will culminate in a written proposal with detailed notes and suggestions.
“The details are not the details. They make the design.”
“I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That’s art to me.”
“Art is a by-product of an act of total attention”
Strigine strives to create calm, mindful, functional living spaces that your whole family can enjoy.
