Founder of Windsor Smith Home Inc., Windsor is an innovative force in the design industry.

Her elegant interiors marry modernity and classicism and she’s known in the industry for her contemporary aesthetics that celebrate time-honored traditions, peppered with her distinctive flavor and style.

Windsor believes in providing a service that doesn’t solely focus on the aesthetic: “I feel it’s my responsibility to give people spaces that support their families more than just to create beautiful rooms.”

“Over time I have cultivated the best of the best and that is where Gaggenau landed for me.”

Windsor Smith, Designer

A designer who boasts two decades in the industry, Windsor Smith is at the forefront of beautiful design, interiors and curated, sharply refined detailing. “Like all designers, I think we select things because they are beautiful and stylish, but if you have been in this business for a while, you also know what does and doesn’t work, what has the lifespan and what doesn’t have authenticity.” Authenticity, functionality and aesthetic are evidently vital when designing a Windsor Smith home. “I have always used Gaggenau,” she says, “I feel that their products are not only beautiful, but they also really do something special.”

Windsor does reveal that she likes to cook, but isn’t often given the chance: “I have to elbow my husband out of the way!” she cries, but that hasn’t stopped her from finding ingenious ways to use the Gaggenau products. Take the steaming of the hand towels in sage in the combi-steam oven as an example: “There’s a really lovely lifestyle piece with that,” she exclaims.

“I have always used Gaggenau. I feel that their products are not only beautiful, but that they really do something special. I love how the doors (of the refrigerator) are deeper and the cavity of the refrigerator is less so, and the reason is because you never know what it is in the back of the refrigerator, it’s like some sort of scientific experiment growing in the back there! The space is not lost, because they put it on the doors. It’s a brilliant concept!”

“We need spaces to recharge, regenerate and I wanted to build a house that translated that.”

Whether it be cooking, entertaining or even using the kitchen for other than culinary purposes, Windsor strives to create an environment that allows you to unplug, unwind and regroup. “A big trend now is escapism, the world is pretty rough out there and I think that people are entertaining at home more and want to be at home with their family.”
