How To Make Your Home Uniquely You

When we design for our clients, our approach is deeply rooted in intentionality. Based in Bend, Oregon, we offer many nationwide services personalized to your needs and varying design styles. Understanding how you, our dear clients, navigate your daily routines helps us tailor each element of your home to be both functional and reflective of your individuality. Thoughtful design choices not only enhance the aesthetic appeal, but also ensure that every corner of your living space serves a purpose.

As designers, we believe that a home should be more than just a collection of furniture and décor — it should tell a story. It’s about infusing the essence of those who live there into every design decision. From the layout that facilitates seamless movement to colors that evoke emotion, our goal is to craft environments that feel like an extension of our clients’ identities.

Elevate Your Walls: Personalize with Gallery Walls

Gallery walls are a design feature we absolutely adore for their ability to infuse personality into any space. Mixing artwork, prints, and cherished treasures allows us to create visually captivating displays that reflect our clients’ unique tastes and experiences. 

Whether it’s integrating pieces collected during travels, heirlooms passed down through generations, thrifted finds, or personal mementos, each item adds layers to the narrative of our designs. Embracing variety in sizes, frames, and textures enables us to craft gallery walls that feel curated and deeply personal. Let your walls tell the story of who you are and what matters most — a true reflection of your journey and passions.

Refined Detail Work in Your Home

Detail work like trim, molding, and shiplap is where we get really excited as designers. Shiplap, in particular, holds a special place in our hearts. It fits perfectly into farmhouse vibes, and it can give a sleek modern home a touch of rustic charm. Its clean, classic lines bring sophistication to any space while keeping it cozy and inviting. 

What’s truly magical about shiplap is how effortlessly it adds personality and character. Whether we’re creating a stunning accent wall or transforming an entire room, shiplap brings that crisp, timeless charm.

Embracing Wood Ceilings for Warmth and Richness

Wood ceilings are a total game-changer for adding warmth and richness to a room. Unlike walls and floors that get all the attention, ceilings often get overlooked. But let me tell you, a wood ceiling can take your space from basic to beautiful in no time. It’s like bringing a piece of nature indoors, with those natural knots and textures that make you feel instantly cozy.

Think about it — instead of just slapping on a coat of paint, why not go for wood beams, paneling, or shiplap? These materials not only add a touch of rustic charm, but also bring in that earthy vibe that makes a room feel so inviting. Plus, they draw your eye upward, showcasing the architectural beauty of your home’s highest points.

Would You Like Artistic Bathroom Cabinets in Your Home?

Well, imagine scalloped vanities that add a touch of whimsy, or antique dressers repurposed with sleek marble countertops. Opt for a cabinet/vanity that makes a statement! 

Personally, I’m inspired by French history when it comes to bathroom aesthetics — think elegant curves, intricate details, and a touch of vintage charm. Embrace organic shapes and materials to bring a sense of natural beauty into your bathroom.

Below is some cool cabinet inspiration that I hope you’ll see more of in 2024!

Because when your home reflects your style, it becomes more than just a place to live — it becomes a sanctuary filled with memories and meaning. 🤍

It’s finally here! We just launched our Clouz Houz Design Guides to help you create a designer space that feels effortless and pulled together. So you don’t have to second guess making design choices.
Comment “GUIDE” and we’ll send you the link to explore all of the Design Guides + learn more!
What’s inside?
- A step-by-step approach to designing a home that feels cohesive (no more mismatched pieces that don’t flow)
- Designer-approved tips for mixing styles, layering textures, and creating a collected feel
- Virtual designer showroom access with links to exact items to help you make decisions faster—with confidence
This has been a passion project of mine for a while. I’ve always dreamed of making design feel more approachable and empowering-something people could truly enjoy without feeling overwhelmed. I know not everyone has access to a full-service designer, and that’s exactly why I created these guides.
To help you bring your vision to life, with the clarity and confidence to make decisions you’ll love.
Understated eclectic… all the relaxed fun and colorful vibes- without trying too hard. Think a Soho loft or a Hollywood Hills bungalow. We love everything about this aesthetic! 
What about you? Does this hit for you? Or share with a friend that you think would love!
Are you struggling with how to design rooms in your home? We get it. We hear it all the time from our clients!
In just two days, we’re launching something that will take the stress, second-guessing, and costly mistakes out of designing your home.
Creating a space you love shouldn’t feel overwhelming, expensive, or like a total guessing game. But too often, people get stuck-scrolling Pinterest for hours, impulse-buying decor that doesn’t quite fit, mixing too many styles, and then wondering why their home still doesn’t feel quite right.
The truth? Great design isn’t just about picking pretty pieces-it’s about having a vision first.
- Knowing what works together.
- What to buy (and what to skip).
- Where to invest, and how to pull it all together in a way that actually feels like you.
And that’s exactly what we’re about to help you with.
A way to confidently put together a designer-approved space-without hiring a designer or wasting money on the wrong pieces.
