W Design Collective

As an interior designer, I really appreciate beautiful gardens and thoughtful landscaping (who doesn’t), but if I’m being honest, I don’t know how to create them. So I was especially excited to have the chance to learn from a fellow Substack Bestseller, The Gardening Mind, and have her help break down the English garden for us.

Jo Thompson, one of the UK’s leading garden designers, shared her top tips on English garden design for our subscribers. She also breaks down how to achieve the look and feel of an “English garden,” even in a dry climate like we have here in Utah. It’s one you won’t want to miss.

This is still one of my favorite bathrooms. We were intentional with the budget - keeping costs down with a simple floor tile and inexpensive pedestal sinks and investing in the lighting and cabinetry to elevate the entire space.

Styling

I get asked all the time how to feel confident in your design choices—how to actually know your style and not get pulled into trends that don’t reflect you.

In my opinion, it starts with understanding your authentic aesthetic: what you’re drawn to, and why.

Today on the Journal, I’m sharing my own aesthetic, where it comes from, and the questions to help you define yours.
