James Whitfield

James Whitfield is an architectural designer turned interiors writer. Before joining LivingFinds he wrote for Dwell and Architectural Digest, covering residential architecture and renovation. James handles the structural side of the magazine: renovation planning, kitchen and bathroom design, and the load-bearing decisions — literal and budgetary — that determine whether a remodel ages well. His articles focus on the craft behind spaces that last: how materials meet, why certain details fail early, and where spending more buys longevity rather than looks. When he reviews furniture and fixtures, he evaluates them the way he was trained to evaluate buildings — by construction method, material honesty, and repairability first, styling second.
