Love Where You Live & Work

Design That Feels Like You

When a space feels like home—or like the kind of workspace that lets you breathe—it’s more than a mood. It’s a reflection of what grounds you. That could be your grandmother’s ceramic planter, a battered koozie from the bar where you met your partner, or a warm velvet chair that finally fits the corner you’ve been ignoring since move-in day.

At ALT, we’re not designing from a checklist—we’re designing around you. What makes you exhale? What makes your day more functional and more peaceful? Those are the questions we’re asking whether you’re reimagining a guest room, an office lounge, or a short-term rental.

Comfort Meets Functionality

Multi-use spaces (like home offices or commercial lounges) don’t have to feel sterile or rigid. We love sneaking in soft seating for deep thinking or visual elements that feel like personality without turning into clutter—gallery walls, art-led corners, nooks with a mix of meaningful and modern.

From Nostalgia to Newfound Love

The best designs often include a little emotion. A nod to beloved sports teams, a golden retriever print, and personal golf clubs from storage became the heart of a client’s hosting space. That’s what turned new construction into “this finally feels like us.” And when you’ve grown tired of a space? The fastest way to revive it is to start with feeling, not furniture.

This Month’s Takeaway:

You don’t need more stuff. You need a space that remembers who you are. Whether it’s commercial or residential, the best design starts with a little soul.
