In fact, Sabatino’s style stems from blending the outside world
with the inside world. She strives to create visual interest by
integrating natures’ beauty and elements into her designs. For
example, she brought this home alive through the use of natural
elements, like wool rugs, cotton sheets and linen curtains, the
mixing of organic elements like woods and metals, and the
recurrent placement of plants.
“I feel being in tune with nature’s rhythms allows us to feel more
in harmony with our homes and the world around us,” Sabatino
says. “I firmly believe that surrounding yourself in an aesthetically
pleasing environment is vitally important.”
She also believes that the way we care for our homes and
ourselves can largely impact our overall health and wellness as
well as the environment. A new houselhold renovation, even if it
involves just one small room, creates an opportunity to establish
new and improved habits, whether it be devoting less cabinet space
to plastic food storage or repurposing old furniture so it doesn’t rot
away in a landfill.
“I help my clients design their homes and workplace so that
they are a reflection of who they are and how they want to live. I
accomplish this through mindful communication, my professional
design expertise and my commitment to being environmentally
conscious,” Sabatino says. “I believe we can make not just beautiful
rooms, but a beautiful world.”
