What is Modern, Livable Design?

To us, modern livable design means blending form and function in ways that support your real, everyday life—and inspire you while doing it. It’s not cold minimalism or overwhelming trendiness. It’s intentional, human, and warm.
It looks like:
A bathroom that feels like a spa—because taking 10 quiet minutes for yourself shouldn't be a luxury.
A kitchen designed for connection—whether you're making your morning smoothie or hosting Friday night tacos.
Storage that disappears into the background—so your surfaces stay clear and your mind stays calm.
Natural light and soothing materials—because the environment you live in affects your nervous system more than you might think.
Every design decision is an opportunity to make your life a little easier, a little more joyful, and a lot more beautiful.
How Design Can Actually Change Your Life
You know that feeling when you walk into a space and instantly breathe a little deeper? That’s not an accident. Good design does that.
Here’s how it shows up in real life:
You wake up easier because your bedroom gets the right kind of morning light.
You keep your counters clear because your cabinetry was designed with real-life needs in mind.
You host more dinners because your space finally feels like a reflection of you.
You start meditating again because your cozy reading nook turned into your quiet space.
This isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about building a space that aligns with the person you want to be and the life you want to live.
Our Approach
At Studio Fifth Sunday, we create modern spaces that feel approachable, intentional, and personal. We start by listening—because the best designs come from understanding your rhythms, your needs, your goals.
We combine clean lines, warm textures, and thoughtful details to build environments that are visually elevated and deeply livable.
