Thoughtful interior design guidance for the parts of the process that rarely get talked about.
Beautiful spaces don’t come from quick decisions or perfect inspiration boards. They’re shaped by clarity, understanding what matters most, when to make certain choices, and how to move forward when the process starts to feel overwhelming.

Interior design is rarely a straight line. It’s a series of decisions that build on one another, often long before anything looks finished. Without guidance, it’s easy to feel stuck or second guess your instincts. With clarity, those same decisions begin to feel intentional, and the space that follows feels considered, not rushed.
Whitley Riggs, Founder
Design rarely falls apart at the beginning. It gets complicated in the middle, when early ideas give way to real decisions, timelines tighten, and options begin to blur together. Excitement fades, second guessing creeps in, and every choice suddenly feels more permanent. That’s where my work lives.
​​
Through one on one consultations, my weekly substack, and carefully developed resources, I help homeowners navigate renovations, new builds, and furnishing projects with clarity. My approach isn’t about rushing decisions or chasing trends, it’s about slowing the process down, prioritizing what matters most, and making confident choices that feel intentional rather than overwhelming.
THE VAULT
My weekly Substack is where I share the reality behind designing a home, the decisions, the missteps, and the moments no one prepares you for. It’s part process, part perspective, and always grounded in real experience. I also create guides and checklists designed to support you through the parts of design that feel unclear or overwhelming.

A Note On Feeling Stuck
If your project feels harder than you expected, you’re not behind and you’re not doing it wrong. You’re simply in the part of the process where clarity matters most.
