May Design Notes: Fresh Perspectives with Longer Days and More Natural Light

Creating Interiors with Modern, Sophisticated, Unique Design

AYI recently completed the furnishing of a contemporary new build home in Oakley, the site of this year’s Homerama. This approximately 3,000 square foot residence was thoughtfully designed to reflect a clean, modern aesthetic while maintaining warmth and livability throughout.

Our team curated furnishings and key design elements to complement the architecture of the home, focusing on scale, proportion, and materiality. The result is a cohesive interior that feels elevated yet approachable—balancing contemporary design with everyday functionality.

This project highlights our ability to step in at the furnishing phase and bring a home fully to life, ensuring each space feels intentional, complete, and aligned with the overall vision.

May Design Perspective

May marks the beginning of a more active season in the home—longer days, more natural light, and increased opportunities for gathering and entertaining. It’s a time when clients often begin to think about how their spaces support both daily living and hosting.

This is also an ideal time to refine interiors with a focus on comfort, flow, and functionality. Whether it’s rethinking furniture layouts, layering in texture, or preparing spaces for indoor-outdoor living, thoughtful updates can significantly enhance how a home feels and performs.

Q&A with Amy

Q: What is the most important consideration when furnishing a newly built home?

A: One of the most important factors is scale. New builds often feature larger, more open spaces, and it’s essential that furnishings are properly sized to complement the architecture. Beyond that, we focus on creating balance—layering materials, textures, and lighting to ensure the home feels complete, cohesive, and comfortable from the moment it’s finished.
