Beth's design philosophy is centered around simplicity, balance, and the beauty of natural elements. Inspired by Joanna Gaines, she believes that a space should feel calm and uncluttered, using natural woods, fibers, and plants to create a grounded and harmonious environment. Beth strives to design rooms that are both functional and serene, avoiding overcomplicated or busy aesthetics. She values authenticity in her work, ensuring that each space reflects a minimalist approach while still offering warmth, comfort, and practicality for those who live in it.

JoAnna Gaines stands out as Beth’s favorite designer for several reasons:

3. Use of Natural Elements: Gaines's incorporation of natural woods, fibers, and plants deeply resonates with Beth. She loves how these elements add warmth and texture without making a space feel busy or cluttered, and Beth aims to bring the same balance and tranquility to her own designs.
