Welcome to Design By Daphne
Your Space. Reimagined.
From Inspiration to Confident Decisions
​
Design inspiration is everywhere — Pinterest boards, online tools, and AI-generated images make it easy to imagine what a space could look like.
​
What’s harder is deciding what actually works in your home. Lighting, undertones, existing finishes, proportions, and how rooms connect all influence the final result.
My role isn’t to replace inspiration tools — it’s to help you interpret them and make confident decisions that translate beautifully into real life.
​
Design isn’t about more ideas. It’s about clarity.
“Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well”
Lord Chesterfield
Can I use AI or online tools instead of working with a designer?
AI and online tools can be helpful for gathering ideas and visual inspiration — many of my clients use them before we ever connect.
​
Where they tend to fall short is in applying those ideas to a real home. Lighting conditions, undertones, existing materials, scale, and how spaces flow together all affect how a design actually feels once it’s implemented.
​
My role isn’t to replace inspiration tools — it’s to help you interpret them. I guide you through the decisions that turn ideas into results that work in real life, helping you avoid costly mistakes and unnecessary stress.
