A Personal Design Journal
A journal about home goods, interior design,
and the spaces that shape how we live
About This Journal
Tsai Maison is my personal journal exploring the intersection of design, craftsmanship, and everyday living. I'm endlessly curious about what makes a house feel like home — the materials, the light, the small details that change everything.
This is a place to share what I'm learning, what inspires me, and the design ideas I keep coming back to. Whether you love minimalism or maximalism, I hope something here sparks a new way of seeing the spaces around you.
Things I Think About
The ideas, materials, and traditions behind beautifully designed spaces — and why they matter.
What makes something feel well-made? I love learning about sustainably sourced hardwoods, handwoven textiles, and artisan ceramics that stand the test of time.
How layout, proportion, and natural light shape the way a room feels — the invisible architecture of comfort and beauty that most people never notice.
How color, texture, and curation come together to create spaces that feel like you — personal, layered, and always a little unexpected.
Mood Board
Aesthetics, themes, and ideas I keep coming back to — a visual collection of what catches my eye.
Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.
What I Believe
A few ideas that guide how I think about home, beauty, and the objects we live with.
Every object in a space should earn its place — chosen with purpose, not just to fill a void.
The best design honors the hand that made it — quality materials and skilled making create lasting beauty.
A well-designed room is a conversation between its elements — proportion, texture, and light in balance.
The most meaningful spaces reflect the lives lived within them — personal, layered, and always evolving.
