When our client decided to move from Miami to New Jersey, she wanted to bring a little of that Miami lifestyle with her. Dwell Done Well didn’t just design this apartment, we helped her find it. ✨

Her new home starts at the entry, where a stunning piece by Petra Barguss-Comerford sets the tone. The contemporary British artist is known for large-scale ink and watercolor works of ethereal female silhouettes suspended in rich, aqueous finishes. Here, a dancer leaps through swirls of indigo and blush.

Then we added the personal touches. Her matchbook collection fills a marble bowl that made the trip from her Miami home, so a piece of her story greets her every time she walks in.

And it wouldn’t be a Dwell Done Well design without a special find. This sculptural lamp was hiding in an antique pop-up, just waiting for the right home.

At DDW, we want our clients to feel at home, surrounded by the things that bring them joy and comfort. 🤍

There’s a reason we’re drawn to curves. 🤍

Straight lines tell a room where to stop. Curves invite you in. An arch softens a hard corner, slows the eye down, and turns an ordinary doorway into a frame, so whatever’s on the other side becomes the view.

It’s one of the oldest shapes in architecture, and it still feels modern because it’s so human. Nothing in nature is perfectly square: hills roll, rivers bend, and we relax in spaces that remember that.

In these three spaces, one curved line changed the whole feel:
01 · A primary suite where the arch makes the bedroom feel like a destination
02 · A powder room that proves small spaces deserve a soft entrance too
03 · A primary bath where the arched window, sculpted tub and round stools all speak the same gentle language

The best part? A curve doesn’t need a full renovation. An arched opening, a rounded mirror or a curvy chair can shift the energy of a room. Affordable luxury is all about choices like these.

Which one would you bring home? Tell us below 👇 and save this for your next project.

🛁 We designed this walk-in shower to feel less like a standard bathroom and more like a private boutique spa. The monochromatic greys, recessed niche storage, and seamless glass enclosure create an open, tranquil atmosphere that transforms a daily routine into a ritual.⁠

An accent chair is never an accident.

Sometimes it’s the treasure handed down, carrying generations of stories in its seams. Sometimes it’s the chair that holds your mother’s pillow, the one you leaned on growing up, or the blanket you reach for every evening. Sometimes it takes you right back to where you were, and who you were with, the day you found it.

And sometimes it’s simply the boldest statement in the room, and proud of it.

Whatever it holds, it tells the story of who lives there.

Which one would you pull up to?

They picked this from a drawing. Wait for the reality.

Dated, dark, and one very sad shower curtain.

We took it to the studs, added a window, and rebuilt it as a textural spa: stone ledge wrapping the soaking tub, mosaic climbing the wall above the vanity, and a custom California Closets unit with a pull-out hamper tucked where you’d never think to look.

Swipe back to 0:06 and compare the rendering to the reality. That’s the part we’re proudest of. Our clients know exactly what they’re getting long before the first hammer swings, so there are no surprises, no “I thought it would look different,” no regret when the dust finally settles.

Follow along for more clients who watched their dream show up exactly as drawn. 🧡

Luxury isn’t a budget. It’s a decision.
If you’ve been putting off your bathroom because you’re bracing for the number, talk to us before you talk yourself out of it. At Dwell Done Well, we bring a vetted team of cost-efficient suppliers and installers, so you’re not chasing quotes, managing trades, or losing sleep.
Swipe for three bathrooms that prove it 👉

1️⃣ This one didn’t get bigger, it got bolder. Penny tile with a black border, matte black fixtures, one striped wall. Everything else stayed quiet on purpose.

2️⃣ A dark, cramped shower became a tub you’d actually soak in. The frameless glass did the rest, no frame, no break, just light running the full length of the room. Add a warm wood vanity and one patterned wall, and the whole space feels new.

3️⃣ A lesson in restraint. Large-format tile, clean glass, real daylight. No trend to date it, nothing to regret in five years.

None of these needed more money. They needed fewer choices, made well, and committed to.
