about us

At Sense & Solace, we believe that the art of interior design lies in the harmony between elegance and comfort. Founded on Scandinavian principles of simplicity and enhanced by a global perspective, we strive to create timeless living spaces that reflect each client’s unique story.

“Our homes should inspire us to go out into the world to do great things, and welcome us back for refuge and solace”

Our Philosophy

We approach every project with an unwavering commitment to thoughtful design. By marrying clean lines with curated textures and subtle, worldly accents, we create interiors that feel both elevated and inviting.

Our goal is to offer more than just a beautiful result—we want our clients to experience a sense of calm and reassurance at every stage, confident in the knowledge that their vision is in expert hands.

Therese Borglund Santos

Founder and Lead Designer

Therese’s journey has taken her across continents, from global financial hubs to design-forward cities. Through these experiences, she rekindled her lifelong passion for creating sanctuaries that balance functionality with a refined aesthetic. Her formative years in law and finance gave her a meticulous eye for detail and perfected her project management skills, while her travels instilled a love for diverse cultures and design traditions. At Sense & Solace, she merges these insights into a streamlined process that accommodates busy lifestyles while still delivering interiors imbued with warmth and individuality.

For Therese, design is an expression of life’s most meaningful elements—a way to embrace one’s heritage, celebrate personal style, and find solace in a world that often moves at lightning speed. By bridging her professional expertise with her creative vision, she ensures that every project is thoughtfully tailored to the client’s needs, honouring both form and feeling in equal measure.
