How Havenly Transformed My "Stuck" Space

(All photos link to the items seen)

When I first moved into my home, I was excited about the spacious areas that promised endless possibilities (while we were still in a single story farm house, we have about 1,000 sq feet to work with). However, one room left me feeling overwhelmed – It was a large space behind the living room couch that seemed to lack direction. I had envisioned a calm area for reading and writing, but instead, it felt like a blank canvas I didn't know how to fill.

Discovering Havenly

I came across Havenly while searching for design ideas online. Their easygoing approach to interior design caught my attention. I loved the idea of collaborating with a designer to transform my vision into reality.

The process was smooth and clear-cut. I started by completing a style quiz that helped the designers understand my tastes, lifestyle, and specific needs for the space (I always have to factor in that I have 3 young kids and a very hairy dog – my home is not a museum in any way!). I made it clear that I wanted a calm space that was (kind of) just for me (cue all the moms laughing). Havenly team took in all my input and crafted a design plan especially for me (well, and my kids and dog - ha!).

The Design Process

When I received my initial design concepts, I was amazed at how well they captured my vision. The designers presented a range of options including furniture choices, color schemes, and layout suggestions.

Making Decisions

The Havenly team encouraged me to express my thoughts, making the process feel genuinely collaborative. Their flexibility in adjusting the designs based on my feedback confirmed that the final space would reflect my personality – and the needs of my family.

Selecting the right furniture was a challenge, as I wanted pieces that were both stylish and practical. The Havenly team presented me with a carefully chosen list that fit my vision and budget. I chose a soft, plush chairs in warm tones that became the room's centerpiece and a sleek coffee table that added sophistication, and a practical spot of place books behind the couch.

Bringing the Vision to Life

The Havenly team provided me with a detailed shopping list, simplifying the purchasing process. Sometimes this is where I get stuck – pulling the purchase trigger.

Watching my ideas come together brought me joy as I arranged the furniture and added personal touches.

One of my favorite features was the dedicated reading corner I had longed for. The Havenly team recommended a cozy armchair, a small side table, and an elegant floor lamp that created the perfect mood for reading. I could envision curling up with my favorite novel and a warm cup of tea here.

The Final Reveal

When all the pieces were in place, I was in awe of the transformation. The once "stuck" space had evolved into a serene sanctuary. The soothing color palette, combined with the carefully selected furniture and decor, created a welcoming atmosphere that actually makes me happy to wake up early.

Now, I find myself waking up early to enjoy my morning tea in my velvet chair, enveloped by the beauty of my newly designed space. Havenly helped me create not just a functional area, but a space that felt genuinely like home.
