About Me

Hi, I'm Crystal.

I am an Interior Designer based in beautiful Penticton, British Columbia.

I have a love for interiors that feel warm, inviting and thoughtfully collected. My approach blends timeless design with vintage character, natural textures and those unexpected details that give a space its personality.

I believe a beautiful home isn't necessarily about having more things. It's about finding the right pieces, creating balance and bringing everything together in a way that feels natural to you.

From full-home furnishing and furniture sourcing to styling and the finishing touches, I enjoy every part of the process of making a space feel complete.

My goal is to make working with a designer feel easy, enjoyable and personal. I'll help you navigate the choices, bring your ideas together and take care of the details along the way.

Because sometimes it's that final layer that makes all the difference. Thanks for stopping by. I'd love to hear what you're dreaming up.

Why Me?

For years, the all-white interior was the ultimate design standard. White walls, white quartz countertops, white cabinetry, and flat gray flooring dominated the market. When you walked into a brand-new build, it felt fresh, clean, and beautifully minimal. It made sense at first—after the heavy, dark espresso furniture and Tuscan kitchens of the early 2000s, we collectively craved a massive visual reset.

But lately, walking into a newly constructed home can feel less like stepping into a cozy sanctuary and more like wandering around a sensory-deprived gallery or a sterile showroom.

If your home feels cold, echoes when you speak, or simply lacks a soul, you aren’t alone. The design world is experiencing a major shift away from sterile minimalism. The "basic white" look needs to change, and I can help you easily transform your blank-canvas home into a space filled with warmth, depth, and character. Give me a call.
