What is it that makes us desire certain aesthetics? Our aesthetic preferences are not random. They mirror how we choose partners: part intuition, part necessity. A quiet negotiation between longing and logic. A dance of compatibility. In many ways, our aesthetic desires are an attempt to resolve something. An unmet need, a missing feeling, a cultural void we don’t yet have language for. We turn to art, interiors, and furniture the same way we turn to fashion: as a form of sel

2026 is the Year of the Horse and as a bona fide, forever horse girl, there was no chance we were letting this moment pass quietly. We’re commemorating it the only way I know how: through design. The Horse symbolizes a transformative period, one defined by energy, freedom, vitality, independence, and perseverance. Qualities that feel especially resonant as a new business owner, but also as a person stepping more fully into her own momentum. Interior design, at its best, is ne

I grew up alongside the birth of social media. Sharing our lives online felt normal to us, far more natural than going to a library for answers or living without instant access to other people’s thoughts, images, and opinions. I exist somewhere between millennial and Gen Z, straddling two worlds: the rise of hustle culture and technological innovation, and a younger generation’s deeply intuitive rejection of systems that no longer serve our mental, emotional, or planetary hea

So, What Exactly Is Curio Studio? And What Do Interior Designers Actually Do? Let me explain. In short, Curio Studio is a full-service interior design company specializing in holistic, sustainable, playful, and deeply self-expressive design. Where we connect people, place, and planet. A solid elevator pitch, right? But if you’re thinking, Savannah, I still don’t really know what a full-service interior design company does… or what holistic design means… or why we’re connectin

Fashion “I like my clothes to be modern and make statements, but I like them to have roots.”  — Alexander McQueen Fashion has always been one of my most natural forms of creative self-expression. From rummaging through Goodwill racks and thrift stores to closely following major fashion houses as they release new collections and runway shows, fashion has consistently shaped the way I see the world. To me, it is deeply, almost inseparably, connected to interior design. Both dis

Honestly, Fuck trends. Not the design movements themselves, many “timeless” styles were sparked by a trend at one point. What I’m saying is fuck the bandwagon mentality . The collective rush toward whatever is “in” this season, this year, this moment. A trend is simply a shared cultural mood. A temporary wave of ideas that a group of people decides to be obsessed with at the same time. But the biggest, most painful mistake I see, in interiors, fashion, food, film, and basical

Why I Became an Interior Designer Deciding to become an interior designer at fifteen, with zero real experience and no true understanding of what the job actually entailed, is, admittedly, a little random. But here’s the story of how and why  I stepped into the world of design, and why it became the foundation of Curio Studio. Where It Started We’ll start from the beginning: I’m 5 years old, my dad is starting his own HVAC/plumbing business. We convert our ‘formal’ dining roo

High Point 2025 Journal After nearly a decade in the Interior Design world, I finally made it to my very first High Point Market!  For anyone who lives and breathes design, you already know this is the mecca, the Super Bowl of all things furniture and decor in the U.S. I got to walk the halls, peek into stunning showrooms, and not only see  some of the biggest names in the industry but talk  with them. From the owner of one of the largest rug companies to one of my childhood
