Discovering Your Interior Design Style

Interior Design Tips from West Austin's Creative Duo, Laura and Jade, of Sicara Design.

West Austin's allure extends beyond its scenic Texas Hill Country views and beautiful homes—it thrives as a hub of interior design that embraces the essence of self-expression. Within our community, Laura and Jade, the visionary minds behind Sicara Design, hold a profound belief that a home should be representative of who you are and tell your story. In their pursuit of storytelling through interior design, Laura and Jade masterfully blend functionality with aesthetics, resulting in spaces that hold profound emotional meaning and significance.

"Our homes set the stage for many moments in our lives," says Laura and Jade. They recognize the pivotal role our living spaces play during crucial and sometimes stressful life events. With this understanding, they emphasize the importance of cultivating positive emotional energy within our homes. A well-designed space can uplift spirits, support personal growth, and foster resilience through life's ups and downs.

Sicara Design encourages clients to challenge limiting beliefs that may hold them back from embracing their creativity. The belief that "I'm not creative" or "I don't know how to use color" hinders the potential for self-expression. Instead, Laura and Jade encourage individuals to open themselves to the abundant sources of inspiration found in the world around them. "There are so many inspirational and beautiful places all over the world to gather ideas from," says Laura, emphasizing that creativity knows no boundaries.

Embracing the art and skill of interior design can significantly enhance not only the physical space but also the quality of life within it. Laura and Jade firmly believe that "when you feel inspired in your space, you will naturally be more successful, balanced and happier overall." A well-curated living environment design by a professional raises the level of that experience and makes your house a home. 

"I often start a design with a rug or an art piece and build the room off of that," reveals Laura, providing a glimpse into her creative process. "I pull colors from that first point of inspiration, and that sets off a domino effect," she explains. The journey to discovering your inspirational visions may start with Pinterest, where countless styles like eclectic, transitional, modern, mid-century modern, maximalist, modern farmhouse, and organic modern can be found. "There is no right or wrong as long as what you are doing brings you joy at the end of the day."

As Laura and Jade state, "There is no right or wrong as long as what you are doing is bringing you joy at the end of the day." Sicara Design empowers individuals to trust their instincts, take bold design choices, and create spaces that resonate with their souls, making every day a celebration of their unique identities.

Sicara Design is more than just an interior design firm; it is a gateway to uncovering the beauty and depth of self-expression through thoughtful design. Laura and Jade infuse their passion for storytelling into every project, weaving emotions and inspirations into the fabric of the spaces they create. Their vision goes beyond aesthetics; they recognize the profound impact that homes have on our lives and the importance of fostering positive emotional energy within these spaces.
