Direction + foundation for custom homes

Make confident selections. Build a beautiful home.

For homeowners already working with an architect or builder.

Tanya Taylor Studio hero

The guiding belief

Beautiful homes begin with a design direction—not isolated decisions.

What to expect

Clarity before commitment.

Sequence first

Know which decisions unlock the next ones before ordering begins.

Whole-home thinking

Coordinate rooms, finishes, undertones, and materials as one visual story.

Honest guidance

Practical designer reasoning without perfectionism or trend pressure.

The selection method

Stop choosing one room at a time.

Tanya’s process turns hundreds of disconnected choices into a considered sequence—from exterior materials to the final cabinet pull.

  1. 01

    Define the direction

    Translate inspiration into clear visual principles for color, contrast, material, and architectural character.

  2. 02

    Select in the right order

    Move through exterior, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, tile, plumbing, lighting, paint, and hardware without premature commitments.

  3. 03

    Coordinate the whole home

    Check every choice against the larger palette so adjacent spaces feel related without looking copied.

  4. 04

    Document and decide

    Create a usable roadmap for builder conversations, deadlines, approvals, and final purchasing decisions.
