Stay flexible
In her light and bright Los Angeles home, author and interior designer Anne Sage navigates life as a new mother.
On choosing smart pieces
“Versatility and going with the flow is definitely the name of the game for me lately. Flexible storage is key – we have a lot of baskets and bins that can hide in closets and be pulled out as needed – and cubby shelving is great for creating a casual, perfectly imperfect vibe.”
On creating new traditions
“As our daughter gets older and reaches the age where she’ll be eating solids, we do plan to sit down as a family at our table to cultivate mindful mealtime habits for her. I’m excited to see which foods she loves — and to create new traditions together!”
On new lessons
“We’re still learning what life with a child looks like, so there’s bound to be some trial and error that comes with that. Remembering that this is a transitional time helps me keep calm.”
“I want our home to feel thoughtfully and intentionally designed, but never in a way that makes it unlivable. I always want my family and visitors to feel like they can kick back and relax!” — Anne Sage
On working (out) from home
“Creating a fitness routine at home has definitely stretched my imagination. I’ve been grateful for a flexible living room layout that allows me to push furniture aside so I can fit in a workout."
