Renovating your home or business can be exciting, but it’s vital to recognize hidden hazards that may impact health and well-being. Many overlook the long-term effects of exposure. In this guide, I’ll highlight key hazards, the importance of personal protective equipment (PPE), and safe renovation practices to ensure a healthier environment.
As we navigate different life stages, our sense of self evolves, and so can our living spaces. After 40, many find joy in reclaiming what brings them fulfillment. This midlife phase is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with our true selves and create homes that celebrate our new identities and deeper meanings.
Your home is meant to be your sanctuary: a place to relax, rejuvenate, entertain, and express yourself. We are all unique, and no two people are alike. That’s why it’s crucial to dig deeper into what your version of a sanctuary looks like.
Trends have long influenced what we see as stylish, but navigating them thoughtfully is key. I’ve learned over the years that integrating trends doesn’t mean overhauling everything. Instead, subtle updates can refresh your space sustainably. The best trends are those that resonate personally and enhance your unique style.
Creating a dream kitchen is exciting, especially when you choose appliances that last. To ensure your choices are both durable and eco-friendly, here are some top tips for selecting sustainable options. From understanding sustainable versus eco-friendly features to exploring technologies like induction cooktops and Miele’s long-lasting products, these insights will help you make smarter, greener choices for your kitchen.
When we think of accessible design, physical considerations often come to mind, such as wider hallways, accessible doorways, and adaptable bathrooms.

Colour has always been an integral part of the design process—it’s not just used to make a space look pretty. Colour is truly multilayered and complex, making it one of the most important components to consider in design.
Make decisions based on love, not fear,” I once heard while listening to a book. Apparently, when you do this, your world opens up, and it’s always the right answer. Decision-making is not easy. We’ve trained ourselves to make decisions based on fear because it’s easier and safe. However, this often leaves us feeling that the choice isn’t quite right.
Life can be scary on one hand. On the flip side, what’s so amazing about life is that when you open yourself up to the universe and ask for feedback, it arrives on your doorstep in all different forms. For me, at that point in time, it was my Business of Design podcast. Niching, here I come and thank you universe for your help and guidance.

We bought a house that needed a lot of updating. Thankfully, Beth had the vision to see that the bones were great but it just needed some TLC. Beth was able to make this house our home. From wall colour to furniture placing, she completely transformed our space.
