Behind the Brand | The making of Megan Baker Interiors

In the Studio

Just one short week ago, I finally had the pleasure of unveiling the new Megan Baker Interiors online! This is a re-brand I have been working on (with a fabulous team) almost everyday for the last six months, but the daydreaming started many, many years ago. 

When I started my design studio in 2018, all things branding – choosing a logo, selecting a perfect colour palette, and throwing together a full website – were all tasks I had scheduled for week one (if you’ve been there, I know you’re laughing as you read this). As I should have realized then, what I know and love best is interior design. I quickly put all of my energy into designing dream homes for each of my amazing clients. A landing page went up in no time–and it stayed that way, without any of the content I wanted, until last week.
This year, I knew I couldn’t let this fall off my list any longer! I called in the experts, and together we turned my design philosophy, many Post-it notes, and growing portfolio of residential interior design into the real-life brand you see here today. The overall concept? HOMES WORTH CELEBRATING—our absolute mission with each and every project.

Of course, as a designer, I couldn’t pull a full brand identity together without a ton of design inspiration. Here’s an inside look at how it all came together, from inspiration to the full, live website

THE INSPIRATION

Forever obsessed with magazines, I knew I wanted something with an editorial feel and a hint of handwritten nostalgia.

THE STYLE

Like my signature interior design style, the brand needed to convey a warm, timeless feel. Black and white, shades of newsprint and buff, and a hint of amber pulled it all together (with a little rouge to finish the look – hello, holiday season).

THE EDIT

No proper design website is complete without its own blog! A curated collection of musings about all things interior design, The Edit is my new platform to tour you through our work and inspiration—plus the occasional cocktail recipe, among other delights.
