“Part of the reason I moved out was because I was in a space where I couldn’t change any of the decor,” says Shani. “It was dark, and I didn’t really want to be there. I [didn’t build my new studio] thinking that I wanted a giant space, but I just wanted something that felt more me.” She and Jake decided that they wanted a space that felt as minimal as possible. They opted for a muted color story full of beiges, pale pinks, and ivories. Because she had worked with Jake on the remodeling of her home, she trusted him wholeheartedly to carry out her vision for the studio—after a vision board–fueled brainstorming session, of course.
This vanity space is Jake’s favorite spot in the whole studio “because it shows that unexpected beauty can come from meeting restrictions of a commercial space.”
Not only did Jake help decorate the space but he also custom-designed each piece of furniture around the entire studio. He explains, “My biggest inspiration for the silhouettes and materials was focusing on the negative space where Japanese and Scandinavian design sensibilities meet. The clean, minimal attributes of the bones of the space were warmed up by the organic furniture shapes and linens, as well as the natural stones used on key pieces such as the reception table.”

“The main goal was to achieve a restrained, luxurious feeling that evokes a calm and peaceful experience like any spa but elevated to feel like a high-end exclusive boutique without the need to use overtly glossy or refined finishes or pieces,” says Jake.
“I wanted there to be as little furniture as possible,” says Shani. “I wanted it to be very minimal. That’s what I cared about the most: light, airy, and minimal. I didn’t want a lot of stuff in the studio, so that’s the vibe that we went for.”
Shani noted that she wanted all of her customers to feel light and airy as soon as they walked into her studio, and for it to have “good energy.” In fact, she even had a crystal healer come into the space as it was being built to place crystals inside each wall to set a different energy and intention in every room. Whether or not her customers believe in the healing and calming properties of crystals, there’s no denying that Shani’s studio achieves exactly what she set out for it to.
