Welcome to the first installment of a new column series by Katie Harbison, designer and founder of her eponymous studio, as she joins Homes & Gardens’ By Design to share how she creates interiors that exude calm and understated beauty.
When I was asked to write this column, I paused – truly paused – and gave myself time to think. I wanted to write about something that felt authentic to me, both personally and creatively as a designer. I wanted to strike the right tone for those of you who don’t yet know me, but who I hope will come to understand the ideas and themes that guide my approach to design. And so, it felt natural to start at the beginning: why I got into design.
