Thoughtfully curated pieces I’m loving right now

​

Furniture sourcing has always been one of my favourite parts of the design process. There’s something incredibly satisfying about finding pieces that feel timeless, grounded, and quietly beautiful — the kind that don’t shout for attention, but still completely make a space.

​

These Studo Picks are a snapshot of furniture finds I’m currently drawn to. These are pieces I see myself using again and again in projects: versatile silhouettes, warm textures, and materials that layer effortlessly into real, lived-in homes. Nothing overly trendy — just well-designed furniture that feels good to live with.

​

Why these pieces work together

Lately, I’ve been gravitating toward soft neutrals with depth. Creams that feel warm instead of stark, woods that add character without overpowering a space, and accents that bring subtle contrast. This palette creates a calm foundation, but still leaves room for personality — art, textiles, and those collected details that make a home feel personal.

​

The sectional anchors the room with its generous scale and relaxed lines. It’s the kind of piece that invites you to actually use it — stretch out, gather, unwind. I always look for sofas that balance comfort with clean proportions, especially for family-friendly spaces that still want to feel elevated.

​

The coffee table introduces warmth and structure. I love furniture with a bit of traditional detailing reinterpreted in a fresh way — it adds a sense of history without feeling heavy. Paired with sculptural accents or a simple tray, it becomes both functional and beautiful.

​

Side tables and lighting are where I like to have a bit of fun. These are the pieces that quietly elevate a room. Mixed metals, organic shapes, and thoughtful finishes add layers without cluttering the overall look.

​

And then there’s the accent chair — a personal favourite in this edit. It adds depth and contrast while still feeling cohesive with the softer tones around it. Accent chairs are one of my go-to tools for giving a space personality without committing to anything too bold.

​

My approach to furniture selection

After 17 years in the industry, I’ve learned that good design isn’t about filling a room — it’s about editing. I’m always asking:

​

• Does this piece serve a purpose?

• Will it age well?

• Does it support how the client actually lives?

• ​

I design with longevity in mind. I want my clients to love their homes not just on install day, but years down the line. That’s why furniture like this matters — pieces that feel considered, adaptable, and timeless.

 

Bringing it all together

These Studio Picks reflects the kind of spaces I love creating at AC Squared Design Studio Inc.: warm, layered, and effortless. Homes that feel polished but never precious. Spaces designed for real life, with beauty woven into the everyday.

​

These pieces are also budget-friendly and don’t cost you an arm and a leg. If you need a fresh update, we can source beautiful pieces within your budget range.

​

If you’re planning a refresh, starting a new project, or simply collecting inspiration, I hope this edit gives you a sense of how thoughtful furniture choices can completely transform a space.
