instant/space is the invention of Los Angeles decorator Betsy Burnham of Burnham Design. With instant/space, Burnham offers clients do-it-yourself custom-designed spaces for a reasonable fee.

Burnham created instant/space for clients who don’t need the full services of an interior designer. Those who are simply looking for design help and a starting off point to decorate their homes themselves. Great for someone only needing to decorate a few rooms, or someone who lives outside of Los Angeles but wants Burnham’s design assistance, or just someone looking for a master design and decor plan for a room or their entire house.

Here’s how instant/space works. Clients send Burnham and team some pictures of their room, measurements and some images decor images they like. Four to six weeks after clients sends their information to instant/space, they received a personalized design box.

The design box includes:

    • Personalized design concept board (using color images, magazine tears, sketches, etc.)
    • Detailed schematic furniture plan, drawn to scale.
    • Sample/swatch ring of fabric, wallpaper, paint, flooring, tile, and hardware
    • Shopping list of resources – both local and on-line – for all design elements
  • Step-by-step outline of how to pull all the elements of the presentation together

    Brilliant, I love it! I’ve been playing around with the idea for years (Boudoir in a Box) and haven’t done it. Maybe it’s time! PS I added you to my blogroll, glad to find you too!

A beautiful table isn’t just about aesthetics. It’A beautiful table isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about how it makes people feel.
A thoughtfully styled tablescape can:
• Make guests feel instantly welcome.
• Encourage people to linger a little longer.
• Turn an ordinary meal into a memorable experience.
• Reflect your personal style without saying a word.
The best part? It doesn’t have to be elaborate. A few layers, fresh flowers, candlelight, or beautiful dinnerware can completely change the atmosphere. 💐
Because the most memorable gatherings aren’t always the fanciest. They’re the ones where everyone feels at home.
What’s one detail you always include when setting your table?

A — Warm wood beams and stone
B — Light and airy with floor-to-ceiling windows
A great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo. 🖤

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

Which room would you go black in first? Drop your Which room would you go black in first? Drop your answer 👇
A — The kitchen

D — Somewhere unexpected
Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤
