Show notes

In this episode of Dear Alice, we sit down with Benjamin Johnston, Creative Partner of Benjamin Johnston Design and author of Refined Interiors: Timeless Homes for Modern Living, to talk about creating sophisticated spaces with soul. Benjamin shares how his passion for design began, how his internationally recognized firm approaches projects around the world, and the moments that have stretched him creatively as a designer. We also dive into his design philosophy, what separates a “nice” room from one that truly has feeling, lessons from designing his own home, and the advice he gives clients and listeners who want to create spaces that feel layered, intentional, and luxurious.
