How to Personalize Your Home

I have three areas that I'm going to talk about today for personalizing your space. I’ll start with art, move to travel accessories and finish with antiques. Personalizing your space is important because it makes your home feel multi-faceted, personal, and unique. I love it when my clients have a piece they want to include in their design that is meaningful to them. In this blog post, I’ll share some practical ideas for making your space feel like it reflects you!

Incorporating Personal Art in Your Home 

Personal art is such a meaningful way to make your space uniquely yours. The first step is to choose the right pieces. Look for artwork that resonates with you—whether it’s a painting from your travels, something a loved one made, or even a favorite family photo. These are pieces that should bring you joy every time you see them. 

Not everything need to perfectly match the artwork. It’s more about complementing the artwork rather than matching it exactly. For example, if your piece has bold colors, keep the surrounding furniture and decor neutral so the art can really pop. Or, pull one or two tones from the artwork into throw pillows or a rug for a cohesive feel. 

If your nervous to make a mistake with art, start small! You don’t need to commit to a huge gallery wall right away. Maybe frame a couple of pieces and try them on a side table or a corner of a room. You can always build from there. And remember, art is personal—there’s no “wrong” way to do it if it makes you happy. 

Finally, don’t be afraid to experiment! Your home should reflect your personality, and incorporating personal art is one of the best ways to do that. So, have fun with it and let your creativity shine. 

This client had a Debbie Harry Art pieced painted by her dad. We loved getting to incorporate it into her bar design to make this space feel personal, and help her feel connected to her dad!

Our client for this project was an artist and created this art piece for this space. It fit perfectly with our design and colors, and is the perfect addtion to add that personal and meaningful touch.

These client’s had these oil painting of their dogs that we reframed to match the space. We also included a shoulder mount from their childhood to bring a nostalgic and playful interest into the living space.

Showcasing Accessories from World Travel  

Accessories from world travel are close to my heart, as I spent a year and half traveling the world and brought many mementoes home from my trip!  

I always encourage people to have travel mementos around the house because they bring so much personality and meaning to a space. The first step is to think about what story you want to tell. Your travel accessories often have memories tied to them, so group items by themes, like pieces from a specific country or items that reflect a shared color palette.  

It depends on the item, but shelves are your best friend for styling these items.  You can style a shelf with smaller accessories like pottery, sculptures, or trinkets from your travels. If you have larger pieces, like a rug or a tapestry, use them as focal points—hang them on a wall or drape them over a sofa.  

The key to connecting your travel mementos with other decor is balance. You don’t want the space to feel like a museum. Mix your travel pieces with everyday decor items like books, candles, or plants. This keeps it feeling curated and lived-in.  

Finally, don’t overthink it. The best part about travel accessories is the story behind them. Display what you love, even if it’s unconventional. And if you have something really quirky—like a vintage sign or a market find—embrace it! It’s those unique touches that make your home feel like your home.  

This client had several accesories from their world travel that they wanted to include in their home. We created this open shelving to make space for all the pieces they would like to showcase, and helped them to organize and design this to be a beautiful space.

In this bathroom, we inlcuded an antique rug the family had found in their world travels. We pulled colors from the rug to help make the warmth in the room and create a cohseive design. Plus it is such a fun reminder of travels!

This is another example of using open built-in shelving to showcase travel accesories and decor. We love the funky and personalized look this brings to shelving.

This client had fabric they collected from around the world that they wanted to turn into cutstom pillows. This was such a unique way to memoralize the colors and pattens seen around the world in their personal home.

Blending Antiques with Modern Home Decor  

The last way to add personality into your home is to add antiques into your space. They add so much character to a modern space. It’s all about mixing the old with the new!  It all starts with a love of contrast. The beauty of mixing antiques and modern design is in the juxtaposition. For example, a sleek, minimalist living room can feel warmer and more inviting with an antique wood coffee table. The key to all of this is balance. If you’re using an ornate antique, like a gilded mirror or a carved chest, pair it with simpler, modern elements. A clean-lined sofa or neutral walls can help the antique stand out without overwhelming the room.  

Another trick is to choose one statement antique piece per room, like a chandelier or a console table, and let it be the star of the show.  

Using antiques and modern furniture is less about the style and more about the mix. Mid-century modern pieces pair beautifully with contemporary spaces because of their clean lines. But even something as traditional as a Victorian armchair can look amazing when reupholstered in a modern fabric. It’s about creating contrast and celebrating the uniqueness of each piece.  

This client had these two antique pieces that had been pasted down through their family that they wanted to include in their luxurious modern design. We used the table on the left side of the room to create a display space and ground the room, while the chair sits in the corner mixing perfectly with space.

The client wanted to include these vintage Mid-Century Modern chairs into their modern, glam bedroom. We added extra patterns through the pillows to connect the chairs to the pillows on the bed and the rest of the design in the room.

This client had these antique lights they wanted to incorporate into their home, we felt that they were just the right amount of glamour and drama for this freestanding tub space. We love how personal they make this space feel!

Lake Oswego Estate

We can’t wait for you to step into this luxurious Lake Oswego Estate! We had the best time working on this house remodel. From the kitchen, to the custom staircase, to the primary bathroom everything about this home is timeless, classic, and interesting. Let us know your favorite part of this design!

We are in love with this kitchen!! The star of the show is a large island. The space showcases a white countertop that contrasts beautifully with the deep, dark tones of the textured backsplash. The island serves as a functional dining area with five plush chairs, perfect for casual gatherings. Above the island, three statement pendant lights with transparent glass domes and gold accents add a touch of elegance, while maintaining the airy feel of the room.

A high-end oven is seamlessly built into the cabinetry, while the large stainless steel range hood complements the space. A large window over the sink brings the outdoors in and enhances the open and inviting atmosphere. This kitchen is functional, timeless, and welcoming!  

The pot filler over this stove contrasts perfectly with the texture of the backsplash. We did all the appliances in stainless steel in this space. The custom built-in cabinetry is beautiful and clean. This kitchen space is more than beautiful, it is also functional!! 

This wine storage and wet bar area is so beautiful and creative. It started out as a really dated bank of cabinets that didn’t have a specific function. We loved creating a beautiful bar space for the homeowner that can showcase their wine and seamlessly connect to the kitchen. 

We had so much fun working on this custom floating staircase. We received the drawings from the staircase company and meticulously made changes to the design to have a truly unique piece to greet anyone who walked into the house. The natural wood tones paired with the black metals is stunning.

One of my favorite features of this chair see is the delicately flared bottom stair. It invites you onto this masterpiece in such a wonderful way. I also love the hammered metal balusters with a small taper for that whisper of luxurious craftsmanship. It is truly the true crowning jewel of this design.

This sophisticated living room offers a perfect balance of modern elegance and comfort, designed for both relaxation and style. The focal point of the space is a stunning natural stone fireplace. It creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Framed by two large windows, and flanked by a wall of windows, this space feels open and organic.

The room is centered around a striking, live-edge wood and stone coffee table. It combines the organic elements of a large wooden tree and the dark features to create a unique coffee table. It grounds the space and brings the outdoors in. The table’s natural finish complements the abstract, earth-toned area rug beneath, which features swirling, stone-like patterns that echo the organic elements in the room.

This living area feels both cozy and refined and is the perfect space for resting, relaxing, or entertaining. Two white sofas face each other, offering symmetry and balance. Each of the couches has an assortment of textured throw pillows in cozy tones. Two plush dark velvet armchairs sit across from each other, featuring rich brown leather accent pillows that tie in the earthy tones of the space.

The dining area features modern, muted-tone chairs, a geometric chandelier, and warm tones. We used a mix of natural wood tones to layer warmth into the space, we mixed art to create a playful intrigue, and we used various light sources from unique chandeliers, artistic glass buffet lamps, and standard can lighting to give options for different moods and occasions. We also decided to use durable taupe leather dining chairs and performance rugs for peace of mind when accidents happen. Dining rooms are more than just a place to eat. They are rooms that hold so many memories, and we know the homeowners are going to create so many wonderful memories here!  

This contemporary primary bathroom exudes serenity and luxury, blending minimalist design with high-end finishes. We created these sliding doors to create a low profile door for separating the primary bedroom and bathroom. However, you may never want to close them because the view through to the bathroom space is gorgeous!!

The freestanding rectangular bathtub, positioned beneath a large window, invites relaxation. Its sleek, geometric lines complement the modern matte black floor-mounted faucet, offering aesthetic appeal and functionality. A spacious glass-enclosed shower with black hardware features a rainfall showerhead, creating a seamless look that enhances the room’s airy, open feel.

White marble-inspired tiles line both the floor and walls, adding a touch of elegance while reflecting natural light that pours in through the oversized window. The shower floor has a pentagon shape tile that brings texture and interest into the space. We love how clean this look is, while also being visually interesting! 

This walk in shower is calming and clean in the design. The tiles on the floor and the hardware choices bring contrast to the otherwise very white space. We also used black Schluter to make the Niche stand out. We love how well the black pops in this space! 

The Schulter choices for a bathroom are more important than you might think! They can either blend into the tile and be almost unnoticeable, or as in this space, we picked a contrasting Schluter to add interest and dynamism to the space.

The freestanding vanity, featuring a smooth quartz countertop and natural wood cabinetry, brings warmth to the otherwise cool color palette. Matte black fixtures, including a minimalist faucet and framed mirror, tie the space together with cohesive accents.

The black pulls on this floating vanity along with the details on the drawers make this vanity interesting and high-end. This bathroom is a perfect balance of form and function, designed for relaxation and styled with a modern, timeless appeal.

An oversized tan couch sits across from two beautiful accent chairs and the whole seating area is centered by a gold ombrie ottoman. A modern gold chandelier hangs from the center of the room. The room is bathed in natural light during the day giving it an airy feel. At night, the glow of lamp lighting and glistening gold finishes create a warm and inviting ambiance, making this space as functional as it is stunning.

The office area is clean and fresh. With gold legs and a white marble top, the desk is minimal and gorgeous. The console behind the desk offers functionality for the space and showcases beautiful lamps and decor on top.  An oversized gold-plated art piece hangs over the console and leaves a big impression.

Indoor-Outdoor Modern Sophistication

Step into a serene and sophisticated indoor-outdoor living space with natural grey tones and calming hues. One of the big priorities for this project was hosting space, and you’ll be able to see the ample ways we provided the homeowners with this! This is truly a party house for the ages!! We love how this thoughtfully designed space seamlessly blends the comfort of indoor living with the beauty of the outdoors.

This outdoor living space is a luxurious yet inviting retreat, blending modern design with natural elements. We love the amazing space this creates for hosting, from guest lounging in the soft seating to sunbathing by the pool or splashing in the water, this space lends itself perfectly for group hosting.

A row of white sun loungers lines one side of the pool, giving an old Hollywood feel. We combined the exposed wood from the deck with the modern loungers to create a unique juxtaposition for this space. The lush hill of grass and trees behind the space makes it a peaceful retreat.

A dark wooden pergola provides sun protection and outdoor kitchen space, while a neatly manicured lawn and surrounding greenery offer a lush backdrop. The dark-colored pergola holds a large fan that helps keep the air moving during hot Texas days. We added 3 barstool chairs that pull up to the concert island connected to the outdoor kitchen. The outdoor dining table has 6 chairs making it a perfect extension to the kitchen hosting space.

The area features a spacious covered patio with contemporary outdoor seating perfect for relaxation and entertaining. We added double couches and two ancient chairs around a round coffee table. This was another space that we wanted to make sure we had ample seatting opportunties for large parties! 

The space seamlessly integrates indoor comfort with outdoor leisure, making it an ideal setting for both intimate gatherings and casual lounging. We added a cozy grey rug to soften up the space and keep the tile flooring from heating up too much in the Texas sun. We know the pain of a burning food running from the pool to the couch! 

We love the organic look of this outdoor furniture. The curve on the chair with the organic wood helps solidify the natural feel of the space. It only feels natural to bring nature into your designs when creating outdoor living spaces!

This pool is the dream! It boasts three waterfall features, an elevated hot tub with a bubbling fountain, and a great shallow area for kids. We added oversized tiles around the pool to make it feel like an elevated space. In Texas, when the summer gets hot and long, we know this is the space to be!

High-end pool design makes the space feel elevated and beautiful. We love the gold details on the three cascading waterfalls. It’s those small details that make the pool design truly stand above the rest. The multi-textured stone add visual interest and brings the same design language as the space to the indoor living room. 

This living room is a stunning example of contemporary elegance, combining sleek lines and natural textures for a warm, inviting space. An abundance of natural light pours in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, which open up to the outdoor living space, seamlessly connecting the indoors with the outside. This is what we wanted to create, a space that provided both indoor and outdoor entertainment! 

The room's centerpiece is a striking floor-to-ceiling tile feature wall, housing a modern black fireplace and a mounted flat-screen television. The soft, neutral tones of the tile bring a subtle texture, perfectly complementing the light grey walls. The modern geometric light fixture draws the eye upward and adds a sculptural element to the room.

A large white sectional sofa provides comfortable seating, paired with dark armchairs that add contrast and sophistication. The square coffee table, made from natural wood, anchors the seating arrangement with its rustic appeal, creating a balanced juxtaposition between modern and organic elements.

We love all the beautiful details on these chairs, from the gold on the frame to the buttons that are on the seat and back. The side tables that sit between the chairs are at varying heights which makes unique for the space. The concrete that the side tables are made connect to the outdoor coffee table. 

A white and gold kitchen blends modern aesthetics with luxurious touches to create a timeless design. Crisp white cabinetry and smooth countertops create a bright, open ambiance, while gold accents—such as hardware, light fixtures, or faucets—add a warm, glamorous flair. The veining on the large waterfall island creates a statement in the middle of the space. We love how the light woodend island chairs ground the space. 

This harmonious pairing of white and gold delivers a refined, inviting kitchen perfect for entertaining or everyday living. We used high end appliances to outfit this space to be both functional and incredibly beautiful. This design is truly timeless. 

The open concept of this kitchen flows perfectly into the breakfast nook. With 4 chairs on the island and 6 in the breakfast nook, there are plentiful seating opportunities for those mixing and mingling around the food prep space. This is great for when the family is at home alone or having a large party, they can feel connected and like they are in a cohesive space.

This breakfast nook blends modern minimalism with an organic feel, creating an elegant yet comfortable atmosphere. A natural wood rectangular table grounds the space. Above the table, a statement chandelier provides soft illumination while serving as a focal point for the room. The wall is adorned with a large abstract painting that brings subtle color and dynamism to the space. Below the table, a textured, patterned area rug in shades of grey adds visual interest, while anchoring the dining set and softening the hardwood floor.  

A contemporary lamp adds soft lighting and a vase with delicate white orchids brings a fresh, organic feel. Above the table, a large abstract painting with soft tones of blue, beige, and white, framed in black, sets a calm and serene mood, perfectly complementing the neutral palette of the room. The result is a harmonious and welcoming entryway! 

This elegant entryway exudes modern sophistication. The back staircase is a bold and confident statement. The chrome pendant lights glisten from the ceiling. The centerpiece is a sleek console table featuring a textured gray finish, slim brass hardware, and matching brass legs that create a refined and balanced aesthetic.

This luxurious formal dining room stands across from the dramatic black staircases and is the perfect complement for its grandeur and class. The comfortable upholstered chairs create a light and clean formal living space. The rug under the table brings movement and bold blacks into the space. 

The console on the back wall is the perfect spot for storage and displays two beautiful white lamps flanking a beautiful art piece. The chrome and gold accents in this space both play together to make a complex and interesting design.

This powder bathroom is a dream!  The walls are finished with light marble-patterned surfaces, adding a touch of sophistication and a seamless, luxurious look. The sleek, pedestal sink is paired with matte brass fixtures, which introduces a warm metallic contrast to the cool-toned walls. Above the sink, a rounded frame adds a stylish and contemporary flair. This space is clean, classic, and timeless!

This serene primary bedroom offers a harmonious blend of contemporary sophistication and tranquil comfort. The focal point is the stunning four-poster bed, featuring a hammered metal frame that brings texture and subtle shine to the room.

Upholstered in crisp white, the bed is adorned with layers of plush pillows in a mix of geometric patterns and soft neutrals, creating an inviting and restful ambiance. Two modern side tables in a gray wood finish with marble tops anchor the bed, adding a touch of understated luxury. Each is paired with a contemporary white lamp featuring geometric metal detailing, reinforcing the room’s sophisticated aesthetic.

We are in love with the hammered metal frame that brings texture and subtle shine to the room. The details are really everything and we love how unique textures makes the space so personal. 

These chairs, are positioned near a sleek white dresser adorned with minimalistic decor, balance style, and functionality. Subtle greenery in the form of a potted plant and floral arrangements further enhances the room’s serene, organic vibe.

The seating area, defined by two chic armchairs upholstered in a muted blue hue, invites relaxation and doubles as a functional space for morning coffee or quiet reading. We love how the curved of the arms and seat make the space smooth and clean. The natural light streaming through the wide-set windows with their sleek white plantation shutters creates a beautiful glow from this side of the room. 

The dramatic primary bathroom is the perfect place to relax and unwind. The oversized tub with its rounded edges brights movement to the space and serves as the central point in the room. The gray and white tones in this room keep it as a serene escape for the homeowner. 

The primary closet is an organizational dream. We make sure to include custom cabinetry that fits a variety of shoes, clothing, and bags. We also included a small counter area for getting ready and a jewelry display. Finally, we included a large chandelier that brings glam into the space. 

This moody media room is the perfect spot for binge-ing a season of your favorite show!! The cozy, plush couch invites you in. We added an all-wooden coffee table that is great for putting drinks and snacks on. We did the built-in cabinetry under the TV in the same color as the wall blending it into the space.

Behind the couch is a cocktail table that is the perfect spot for chatting with a friend or sharing a meal. The relaxed look of the space makes guests feel comfortable and welcomed. 

This home office is a tranquil spot to be productive. We kept the calming neutrals we’ve used throughout the rest fo the house so the whole space flows well. The organic feel of the soft rug with the wood tones used in this space make it a cohesive, beautiful home office. Finally, we love how these shelves have a feature-like view on the top, but bring the functional storage at the bottom with shelving.

Recovery Gym

The Recovery Gym is the Pacific Northwest’s first fitness center dedicated to helping people on the path to recovery for substance use and mental health disorders, and the first of its kind—anywhere—to merge fitness, data, and mentorship to do so.” From the Recovery Gym Website. This gym is unlike we’ve ever seen in Portland, and Kevin Twitty Interiors was so excited to take part in helping people through their recovery journey! We truly believe in their mission to use physical exercise and data to help people live healthy and sober lives. So, we wanted to make it a special and inspiring space for people! 

Recovery Gym’s focus is on tailored programs based on research to help their client achieve healthy lives. They typically do CrossFit, HIIT-style classes, and personal training. They typically do CrossFit, HIIT-style classes, and personal training. For this design, we wanted to evoke a feeling of intensity and commitment. We brought in dark colors to bring contrast and used their X-shaped logo throughout the building to remind people of the gym’s mission. We keep the exposed brick on the back wall and use rubber flooring throughout.  

Space planning was a huge part of this project for us. They host multi-faceted group classes here, which means changing setups and equipment needs. CrossFit workouts change daily, so we made a space that can adapt to those changes. For example, the row machines can stand up and stack in the corner of the room leaving plenty of space for floor-based exercises. Many other details were considered when creating the layout of this space.  

We also created a hang-out space for people to build community and connect. Because this gym is focused on those recovering from substance abuse, it’s crucial to have the right people around you to be able to find sobriety. This space is where people can connect, encourage, and support each other through their journey. We used leather chairs and wood finishes for easy cleaning while still maintaining the industrial look. We also included rolling garage doors to let in air during a workout or bring the outdoors in during a casual hang in the lounge area.
