A little Safferstone news: our Deerfield Lane kitc

A little Safferstone news: our Deerfield Lane kitchen is featured in the May issue of Philadelphia Magazine! 🥳⁠⁠The article highlights dark kitchens, and our project was included alongside work from two other Philadelphia-area design firms. Check it out on page 38, on newsstands now. ⁠⁠This kitchen is moody, layered, and warm — the kind of dark space that feels grounded and enveloping rather than heavy.⁠⁠Very proud studio moment over here. ✨⁠⁠Design: @safferstoneinteriors⁠Photography: @mcbecks_pix⁠Styling: @gabriellelangdon_⁠

Front-loads are fun to design around (see one of my favorites here). You get the folding counters, the cabinetry, the seamless look. And I get it — they can be beautiful. But for myself? I made the unpopular decision to swap for a top load. 🫧⁠⁠It's easier for me to maintain, easier to keep clean, and a little less fussy day to day. This is one of those places where livable wins. ⁠⁠A laundry room doesn't fall apart because the tile is wrong. It falls apart when the workflow is annoying.⁠⁠Would you choose the prettier option or the easier one?⁠

A lot of appliance decisions get made for a fantasy life.⁠The one where the counters are always spotless, dinner is always elaborate, and nobody is ever just reheating leftovers while answering an email. 🫧⁠⁠But good design is not about performing a prettier life.⁠It is about supporting your actual one.⁠⁠That is why I always come back to this question: What will I be glad I chose on a Tuesday night? 🤔⁠⁠That question will tell you more than any showroom ever could.⁠⁠I wrote more about this in SafferStyle | Vol. 6. Read it at the link in bio.⁠And if you are deep in appliance decision fatigue, I also made a Quick Appliance Decision Checklist to help you think it through.⁠ Design: @safferstoneinteriors⁠Photography: @mcbecks_pix⁠Styling: @thegabgram⁠

Sequence matters.⁠⁠If you choose a sofa before you know the rug direction, you can end up designing the whole room around one early decision.⁠A plan doesn’t kill creativity — it protects it.⁠ ✨⁠⁠Design: @safferstoneinteriors ⁠

Design is a puzzle… and it’s a feeling.⁠⁠Shopping is visible. Discernment is the work. If you’ve been solving your room one item at a time and it still doesn’t feel right, I wrote a post that explains why — and what to do next.
