The Founder Story

  • The Story Behind the Mood of Home

    Ava + Bru was born from the stories that live inside our homes — the late-night talks on the couch, the quiet mornings lit by one good candle, the lived-in objects that carry memory and warmth.

    As a mother and a creative, I always found peace in the small things — the textures, the shadows, the scents that fill a room. After years of curating spaces, studying design, and building a home rooted in calm, Ava + Bru became the place where memory and mood could meet.

    Every candle, every thrifted object, every monthly chapter is crafted with one intention: to make a home feel lived-in, loved, and deeply human.

Why Ava. Why Bru.

Named after the two souls who shaped my world the most, Ava + Bru is more than a brand — it’s a reminder of where peace begins. Not as a children's brand, but as a reflection of home, family, memory, and the stories we carry forward.

Our Philosophy

  • Quiet Luxury

    We believe a home should feel intentional, textural, and warm. Built from pieces that age beautifully.

  • Mood Over Minimalism

    It's not about empty space. It’s about grounded palettes, soft shadows, and emotional atmosphere.

  • Nostalgia, Always

    We blend curated finds and crafted scents to evoke memory — the feeling of belonging and familiarity.

Curation With Intention

Each piece is chosen for its texture, its history, or its ability to bring calm into a room. From handcrafted scents to thrifted treasures, every product is part of a mood — never random, never rushed.

Crafted Scents, Cinematic Atmosphere

Our signature scents are designed like scenes — layered, warm, and moody.

Ava (Soft Nostalgia) and Bru (Deep Moody Luxe) set the foundation for our scent library, each created to shift a room’s emotional tone with quiet intention.
