Family Time: Lazy Saturday Spaces

Weekends are the time to exhale; they're for resting and relaxing with your people. Home means many different things to each of us, but above all, it should be where you feel comfortable. Each family has a distinct lifestyle and rhythm, but once in awhile, we all need the same thing: a gloriously slow Saturday.

Whether your family's ideal lazy Saturday consists of pancakes and cartoons, reading and coffee, dress-up and games, or movies and popcorn; your home should include spaces that put you at ease. From sunny porches to cozy media rooms, welcoming kitchen islands to inspiring playrooms - we design places for families to unwind and enjoy each other.

If your week is feeling long, hit pause and start dreaming about serene Saturdays full of Netflix marathons and big bowls of cereal. For further inspiration browse a few of our clients' lovely homes and gather ideas for your future blissful weekend plans!
