We Root All Design In Functionality + Values

We've already hinted at how we can make you fall head over heels with your home's look, but let's not forget about the nuts and bolts of what makes a space truly livable — how it’s organized. 

That’s right, great design isn't just a happy accident—it's a thoughtful process that ensures your home not only looks good but lives well, too.

At Elegant Simplicity®, we believe your home should be a mirror reflection of you, through + through. That means, diving into how your home functions day-to-day and making sure it aligns with what's important to you. Whether it's decluttering at the onset to create zones for different activities, planning the layout, or choosing materials and pieces that speak to your core values, we're all about crafting a space that's as practical as it is personal.

Maybe you’ve got kiddos who love a good after school snack? We've got you covered with spaces that promote healthy decisions and invite joy + ease into your daily routine. And for those furry or sometimes even feathered family members of yours, we ensure every choice we make is as pet-friendly as it is stylish.

This is the essence of our initial deep dive in the assessment phase. 

We're not just figuring out what your home needs in order to be functional; we're uncovering the why behind each need, making sure your space works perfectly for you and your loved ones.



But let's pause for a second + picture a world where you decided to skip on bringing an interior designer into your life *gasp!* Imagine… you’re in the middle of a busy workday, packed with meetings + project deadlines when suddenly out of nowhere, your phone starts blowing up.

Contractor’s calling you because of an unexpected hiccup + they need answers in order for them to best navigate the situation. 

Freight companies bombard you with delivery schedules needing to coordinate dates times, all while you're neck-deep in spreadsheets, trying to navigate shipping delays + backorders.

Next thing you know, you're sprinting out of the office, trying not to make excuses while throwing apologetic glances at your colleagues as you scurry by. Talk about a not-so-fun adventure, right?

Here's the good news boo: as your go-to interior design team, we're all about keeping you out of that hot mess. You do you + we’ll wrangle the crew.

We've got the reins, managing the chaos, smoothing out the bumps, and keeping you updated without overwhelming you. 

This way, you get to sail through your days, business as usual, enjoying life's moments without the backdrop of a logistical nightmare. Sounds pretty sweet, doesn't it? 😉

And oh yeah, friend. We love it.
