Claire’s approach to creating interior designs was greatly influenced by her work as a yoga instructor. During the yoga classes, the understanding of the connection between the body, mind and personal space was deepened. Claire's idea is to combine these three elements in their work, helping people turn their home into a beautiful sanctuary, rather than into a very beautiful showroom. Nice to see the embodiment of her philosophy in their house with Luke. Below, the couple told about their style and its implementation. House plan photo Claire Staszak

Style

"We like the style of the middle of the last century andaesthetics of Scandinavian modern design, but we also lean towards something more bohemian and love it when there is a lot of textiles. We have combined these elements to give the interior such an eclectic look. ”

Inspiration

“We are inspired by our travels, love forantiques and craftsmanship, as well as the desire to create something yourself. Luke is a carpenter, and he made our dinner and my desk. I am learning to sew, and sewed a few curtains and pillows for our apartment " Darling claire Cozy apartment interior, bedroom Curtains on the windows, sewn Claire Claire Design

Favorite place

“The fireplace and its decoration look very beautiful. Tiled masonry and wooden details on the wall around the fireplace influenced several stylistic moments. We have been looking for and worried for a long time because we wanted to rent a house with a working fireplace. ” Great dining table and built-in fireplace, photo by Joe Tighe

The biggest test

“I would say these are owners with their too strict attitude towards redevelopment. We were unable to implement several new ideas and changes, because we had to respect the wishes of the owner "

What friends say

“They love our style! Everything looks so clean. ” Photography by Julia Brenner Guest bedroom Bathroom in black and white

Greatest difficulties

"Kitchen. We like the fact that we have updated appliances in the kitchen, but everything else is just a nightmare. From the very beginning it was poorly designed, it is inconveniently located and there is little natural light in it. We love vintage very much, but vintage in the kitchen is a bad vintage. Our first home project will someday begin with a superb new kitchen project. ” Cozy kitchen Kitchen interier Cozy kitchen Heirloom - Grandma Luke's Suitcase

The greatest pride with their own hands

"Luke will have a dining table, the first furniture,which he did (except for the cat tower). For me, this is a chair of denim rags in my office. I found this chair on a $ 15 sale. This was my first experience in changing upholstery, I had to use a pair of old jeans from Luke for fabric and a sample. There was a lot of work, but I really like the result. ” Claire came up with a design and she fitted a denim chair Claire office Cabinet shelves Copyright design watches Claire Staszak Homemade Scarf Hanger

Biggest expenses

“Chandelier over the dining table. I reviewed the many chandeliers, choosing one that more or less combines the living room with its mid-century style and more traditional dining style. ”

Best advice

"Create your note board or boardmoods to determine and approve the style that you will try to achieve. Make sure your friend or partner agrees with your choice. I have many friends and clients with whom I work, who want to redo something, but don’t even know what they like.
