In case you missed it in the Spring issue of New Orleans Homes! Thank you Margaret Zainey Roux!

For Katharine Rhudy of Reed & Acanthus, a stylish space transcends aesthetics — it expresses artistry and authenticity.

Crisp and Colorful - the wallpaper in this New Canaan Guest Bath offer an opportunity to introduce depth, texture, and quiet character. When selected carefully, they enhance the architecture rather than compete with it.

Detail, when done well, defines the space.

Florals in interior design are most effective when approached with restraint. Subtle patterns, refined palettes, and thoughtful placement bring softness without overwhelming the space.

A modern interpretation of a classic element.

Spring interiors benefit from a sense of lightness both visual and physical. Softer palettes, breathable materials, and open compositions create spaces that feel calm and effortless.

A refined home never feels heavy.

As the season shifts, outdoor spaces take on new importance. Designed with the same care as interiors, they become true extensions of the home inviting, functional, and quietly luxurious.

Living well extends beyond the walls.

A thoughtful refresh introduces new life through texture, tone, and detail. Whether through updated finishes or subtle material shifts, the right additions feel considered not excessive.

Newness should feel natural, not forced.

Sneak peek of our New Canaan kitchen and breakfast room transformation. True luxury often lies in restraint. Letting go of excess creates room for better materials, stronger compositions, and a more cohesive environment.

Out with the old is not about loss it’s about refinement.

Like this Primary Bedroom design - Spring invites a quieter kind of transformation one rooted in editing rather than adding. Removing what no longer serves a space allows proportion, light, and materiality to re-emerge with clarity.

A refined home begins with intention.

Refreshing a home does not require a complete redesign. In our Coliseum St project, thoughtful adjustments, edited furnishings, introduction of new textiles and refined finishes shifted the entire mood of this home office.

Precision over excess.

Open, balanced, and connected to light and nature, our Coliseum St Family Room reflects and to the way families live. Spring is an opportunity to create spaces that feel less confined and more intentional.

Design should allow a home to breathe.
