All Things Taj

This family has a love of the Organic Modern aesthetic - a harmonizing hybrid blending modern minimalism with nature’s beauty. This on-trend design duo introduces warm neutral tones, rich textures and natural materials into cool contemporary spaces for a nurturing yet elegant aesthetic—the best of both worlds. There’s a new standard for home comfort—and a desire for spaces and surroundings to both be stylish and soothing. Organic modern design dramatically transforms this spaces into a style-forward sanctuary for this family to enjoy years to come.

Sharing a few images of the completed space, as well as, before images below:

When your client says the assignment is to deliver a dark, moody, dramatic, sexy powder room - an unexpected and exciting space for their guests to marvel - we go to work! It all started with our client's love for oversized floral wallpaper and the hunt for which direction we should take this space into. When we found this moody blue inspiration below, it naturally became the foundation for the entire space.

We are busy with designs upon designs and overdue in updating our blog to reflect some of the exciting work that's taking place in our studio these past few months. This super-sized family room (and dining room) is a continuation of a full house customization of a recently completed new 4500 square foot home. We've been experiencing painful delays due to contractors (which requires its own dedicated blog post to vent) but such is the nature of the industry and this too shall pass :)

The process of space planning is the key element in design. How do we go about efficiently utilizing your space - not too crowded yet we don't like too much wasted space either. It's a delicate balance of adding a variety of elements that both feed your aesthetic desires and lifestyle needs. We all want to live in a beautiful, well organized home and the success of space planning exercise is a major step in getting us there.

 Week #2 is here and this week's DESIGN DILEMMAS comes from my hometown of Miami.

We are beyond excited to kick start Design Dilemmas today and we won't waste any time getting into the nitty-gritty of it. If you follow Taj on Instagram (@allthingstaj) and watch her stories, you already know the main request has been product, product, product!

When I work with clients virtually - depending on the extent of the request - I put together a design concept board for that particular space. A lot of times virtual clients have a furniture piece they want incorporated, or they may not want to paint the walls, change window treatments, or a whole slew of other exemptions they have that allows the virtual service to be the most convenient and least complex approach to gaining a tailored designer look. 

Happy 2023, Everyone!! The year has kicked off and so much is happening over here at All Things Taj. We are planning an exciting 2023 and it has YOU front of mind.

When my clients closed on this brand new build 4,200 square foot house, one of the first spaces they wanted to have renovated was the kitchen. In fact, we did new floors first, kitchen was next. After assessing the massive open space that encompasses the kitchen, dining and great room, we decided to expand the size of the space - nearly doubling its width - and the result below is a custom black-on-black 30 foot kitchen with unique and sexy details.

This highly functional and beautiful design features a soothing color palette, ample storage, a hidden panel for extendable countertop space (for folding), rolling laundry carts, hanging rack and a fold-out ironing board. #winning

Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away and a gift for the hostess is always a great idea. Here are some lovely ideas I found on Nordstrom - while looking for a hostess gift myself - and thought it would be a nice to share. Life is busy, order one for quick pick-up asap.

Every year I say the same thing to my husband - where did the year go? Well, it's here, I'm ready and looking forward to all the festiveness and beauty the season has to offer. Tis the season and I'm sharing my first holiday wishlist (it's grows by the day). So, am I nudging you to shop for me? LOL, no not at all. I'm sharing to give you some gift ideas for your loved ones as well. Check it out!
