Lifestyle Design
Your Home + Life, Designed to Work Beautifully Together.
At House of Wabi, we believe your home should do more than look beautiful; it should help you live better. Lifestyle design goes beyond traditional interior design by focusing on how your space actually supports your daily life, routines, and well-being.
Instead of starting with colors and decor, we start with you. How do you want to feel when you wake up in the morning? Where do you recharge after a long day? What routines could flow more easily with the right setup?
By blending mindful design with coaching, we help you create a home that feels aligned, functional, and deeply personal. So that you have an environment which reflects your aesthetic, reduces stress, and brings more joy and balance into your everyday life.
Why It Matters
Your home should be a foundation for your well-being, not a source of stress.
- When your space is out of sync with your daily life, it impacts everything: your mood, your energy, even your health.
- Lifestyle Design bridges that gap. It’s about creating a home that reflects who you are and how you want to live—supporting your routines, inspiring your passions, and giving you a sense of calm at the end of the day.
- By intentionally designing your home to fit your lifestyle, you're not just redecorating; you're creating a sanctuary that helps you live better, every single day.
The F.O.C.U.S Method
At House of Wabi, we believe that your home should support the way you live. That's why our approach is about more than just interior design—we use our 5 Pillar Method to create spaces that enhance your lifestyle and optimize how you live in your home.
With our framework, we help you focus on function, mind, comfort, wellness, & aesthetics to create a home that is tailored to you and to helping you live a happier, healthier life.

The final phase involves bringing the design to life. This includes overseeing the installation of finishes, furniture, and fixtures, as well as coordinating with contractors and tradespeople. I will ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget, while maintaining the highest quality standards.

Phase 04:
Once the design is finalized, the procurement phase begins. This involves sourcing and purchasing all necessary materials, furniture, and fixtures. I work closely with vendors and suppliers to ensure all aspects of the project are progressing in a timely manner.

Phase 03:
In the design development phase, initial ideas evolve into concrete plans including space plans, design schemes, color palettes, and material selections during our Aesthetic Direction Meeting. Design boards and floor plans help visualize the final product.

Phase 02:

Full-service design is a "turn-key" experience. We handle everything from the initial conceptual drawings and sourcing to procurement, vendor management, and the installation. You don’t have to worry about tracking shipments or coordinating with contractors, we manage the heavy lifting so you can simply enjoy the results.
Traditional interior designers typically focus only on how a room looks. House of Wabi is here to disrupt the interior design world through our lifestyle design approach. This is all about how your life functions within your home. We look at your daily routines- your morning rituals, how you host guests, and even your storage needs, to ensure your home supports your well-being. It’s a holistic approach that blends aesthetics with high-level organization and utility.
The earlier, the better. Ideally, we should be involved during the architectural planning phase. This allows us to collaborate with your architect or builder to ensure the "bones" of the house (like lighting placement, floor plans, and electrical outlets) align perfectly with the final interior vision.
Budgeting is a collaborative process. During our initial consultation, we discuss your goals and provide realistic ranges based on the scope of work. We help you prioritize investments, choosing where to "splurge" for impact and where to "save" without sacrificing quality.
Absolutely. A home should feel personal, not like a showroom. We love integrating meaningful pieces into a fresh design. We’ll assess your current items and determine how to best refurbish, reupholster, or reposition them to fit the new aesthetic.
While we have a refined aesthetic rooted in Organic Minimalism, our primary goal is to reflect your personality. Our portfolio shows a consistent level of quality and detail, but the "soul" of each project is dictated by the client’s lifestyle and the home’s architecture.
Timelines vary significantly depending on the scope. After our initial consultation we can give a better estimated timeline.
We want you to be as involved as you’d like during the Discovery and Design phases (sharing inspiration and approving concepts). Once we move into Implementation, we take the reins. We’ll provide regular progress updates, but we handle the day to day fires so you don't have to.
In order to give our clients the best experience possible, we only take a select few projects quarterly.
