Daheim Design: July 2012

design to make you feel at home

Hello! My name is Sarah Wolfgang and I have been a professional kitchen and bath designer since 2004. I spent 15 years in Western Europe and consider Austria my home. It's from my childhood there that I tap into my imagination to create unique and personalized spaces. My philosophy is that great design becomes more than the sum of a space's aesthetics and functionality but transcends both. That is why I make it my mission that every client feels daheim (German for "at home"). I have a passion for strong, functional design and this is my log of inspiration and current projects. Comments are welcome. Enjoy!

July Favorite

Laufen's 'CITY LIVING' collection embraces an urban setting, but brings in an organic or 'living' feel with it's floral motifs. I love the asymmetrical sink application and simple design. Even though the floral motif is very specific it adds a nice balance. What great inspiration for similar applications! Decals are so popular these days that it would be very easy to get a similar look without paying the price and committing to something permanent.
