As much as we know you all love hearing from us about the latest trends and design ideas for your home, we wanted to start featuring people that we also look to for inspiration. We’re excited to get going and hope you are too! Starting off the series is Sarah Symonds, creator of [Grace in My Space](. Sarah’s got a knack for home design and the reasons why she got into it might surprise you! You can find Sarah as @graceinmyspace on [Pinterest]( [Instagram]( [Youtube]( and [Facebook]( content on home and garden design, recipes, fantastic DIYs, and more. We had a great time getting to know Sarah and are confident you will too! What started your passion for design and what inspired you to get involved in this industry? Ironically, my passion for design began from necessity. In 2013 our home caught fire. We had to rebuild for 6 months, and in the process of doing so my love for design was born. Things that I never slowed down enough to consider before, were then top of mind as decisions that were forced upon me. Ever since rebuilding, I’ve treasured creating a haven. What’s a golden rule you have when it comes to decorating and redesigning a space in your home? Make it serve you and your family. Design for yourself. Trends come and go, but creating a space that is functional and enjoyable for the ones living in it should always be a first priority. What’s an often overlooked part of homes that need more attention when it comes to style & design? Utilitarian areas, like mudrooms, laundry rooms, bathrooms and storage spaces are often overlooked because they aren’t front and center like living rooms or kitchens. However, those are often spaces that we spend tons of time in. Instead of neglecting those spaces, I love to focus on them so they are functional and beautiful.
