If you’ve ever looked at a Scandinavian home and thought “Why does this feel so calm?”, welcome — you’re already halfway into the world of hygge.

Pronounced hoo-gah, this Danish concept is less about decor trends and more about an atmosphere: warmth, presence, softness, safety, and simple pleasures.
In other words: the art of feeling good at home.

As Meik Wiking explains in The Little Book of Hygge, hygge is “a feeling of home.” Not perfection. Not minimalism. Not aesthetic pressure. Just… comfort.

So let’s talk about how to bring that feeling into your own space — without moving to Copenhagen or buying an entire room of sheepskins.

We spend more than half of our lives at home and even more during those “remember-when?” lockdown months of 2020. So it makes perfect sense: if we live inside our homes, our homes also live inside us. They shape our mood, our stress levels, our routines… and yes, even our physical health.

Some people say the place we live in is like a third skin (after our real skin and our clothes). And honestly? They’re right.
If you had to wear the same outfit for half of your life, you’d choose it wisely. Your home deserves the same attention.

Today, let’s talk about the invisible side of interior design, the one that doesn’t show up on Pinterest, but impacts your health every single day.

When Sofia and Bastien reached out to me, they had just moved into a beautiful 90m² apartment in Polanco, one of Mexico City’s most elegant and vibrant neighborhoods. Nestled on the 7th floor of a classic building with marble-lined common areas and two separate entrances (a charming architectural detail of older constructions), their new home had fantastic potential… and a few challenges.

They wanted a space that felt elegant, warm, minimalist and functional. A refined cocoon for two busy professionals who love hosting, cooking, reading… This is the story of how we transformed their apartment into a thoughtful, serene, and beautifully structured home.

When renovating or designing a bathroom, one of the first questions that comes up is: bathtub or shower? Both options have their own advantages, and the right choice depends on your space, your lifestyle, and your priorities. Let’s explore the key points to help you make the best decision for your home.

Lighting is one of the most underestimated elements in interior design. You can have the most stunning furniture, the perfect layout, and beautiful materials—but if the lighting is wrong, the whole space can feel flat, cold, or simply uncomfortable. Light is what reveals textures, defines volumes, and sets the mood. It’s the invisible hero that can make or break your interior.

Before diving into moodboards, materials, or color palettes, there’s one step that can completely transform the way you experience your home (and the way your interior designer works with you): decluttering and organizing.

It might not sound as glamorous as picking fabrics or designing your dream kitchen, but trust me, this step sets the tone for everything that follows.

Interior design is about creating a space that reflects your personality and supports your lifestyle, but it can also have a real impact on the planet and your well-being. Integrating sustainable design doesn’t mean compromising on style; it’s about making smarter, longer-lasting choices that are good for both your home and the environment.

When you hear “moodboard,” you probably imagine a Pinterest collage with dreamy interiors, color swatches, and inspirational images. And yes, it can be visually stunning, but a moodboard in interior design is so much more than a pretty collection.

When I say “I’m an interior designer,” many people instantly picture fabric swatches, Pinterest boards, and cushion shopping. And yes, styling is part of my job (and a fun one!). But in reality, decoration is just one chapter of a much bigger story.

Interior designers and decorators each play a role in shaping a home, but at different moments and with different scopes. A decorator focuses on aesthetics: colors, textures, furniture, ambiance. An interior designer starts earlier, working on the flow of space, how it functions, and how to bring it all together before adding the decorative layer.

Living in a small space doesn’t mean giving up on comfort or style, it just means you need to get clever. With a few smart tricks, even the tiniest apartment can feel bigger and brighter. Whether you’re in a city studio or just dealing with a too-small living room, here are 6 design moves that can change everything.

Designing an interior isn’t just about picking out a trendy sofa or debating fifty shades of white. At its core, interior design is about shaping the way a space is lived in… How people move through it, how light flows, how storage is cleverly integrated, and how every square meter works hard without feeling cramped.

A good designer combines two superpowers: the logic of space planning and the emotion of storytelling. The result? Homes that don’t just look beautiful on Instagram, but feel effortless, functional, and deeply personal in everyday life.

Every project is a journey, and while the path is always tailored to each client, the process usually follows a clear rhythm. Here’s what it looks like, from the very first chat to the moment the champagne cork pops to celebrate your new place.

Your home is more than just a place to eat, sleep, and store your stuff. It’s the backdrop of your life, the stage for your memories, and the canvas for your personality. Put aside those trendy concepts that will be outdated in three months. Interior design that truly matters isn’t about the latest wallpaper craze, it’s about mastering space and understanding the human who lives in it. That’s you!a.
