Oi gente , This year I’m practicing showing up more... reading, teaching, sharing my work, and building community out loud.

Who’s coming with me? Comment “I’m in” or share what you want to practice this year.

I built this room like @christopherjohnrogers builds a look.

The green sofa is the statement piece, the red rug grounds the space, and lights, ceramics, and pillows accessorize.

Thank you. @christopherjohnrogers, for teaching me new ways to see.

Curious—how many of your design books are read, not just collected?

[Amara Duarte @amaraduarteldf]

Thursday Book Corner
Design books that teach, not decorate:

Interior Design Handbook

Book of Decorating

African Interior

Interior Design Illustrated

What should I add? — Amara @Light_DesignFac

[Amara Duarte @amaraduarteldf]

The best designers master all 4 categories, not just one.

Most students over-invest in digital and wonder why their work doesn't land.

Which category are you strongest in? Weakest in?

Design isn’t just what we see — it’s how space, line, and form make us feel.
— Amara Duarte, @LightDesignFactory

Every room tells a story.
At LDF, we’re reimagining interior design as a language of emotion, purpose, and connection.

There are moments that feel less like a new chapter, and more like stepping into a story that's been waiting for you all along. Today I officially begin as Social Impact Lead & Documentary Host for the Happy Space Project by @Light_DesignFac
