Welcome to Beyond the Blueprint

When I first launched Erika Ward Interiors 20 years ago, I set out to create more than just beautiful spaces—I wanted to help families build legacies through thoughtful, intentional design.

What I didn’t fully realize then was that the work God called me to would extend far beyond finishes and floorplans. It would be about faith, family, and honoring the stories we carry and the spaces we live them in.

Beyond the Blueprint is where I finally get to share those layers with you.

This blog is a collection of moments that make up the life behind the brand. It’s where I’ll tell the stories that don’t always make it into client portfolios or social media captions—the ones that unfold on quiet mornings before site visits, or in loud, joyful car rides to football practice.

What You’ll Find Here

Faith & Foundation – the prayers behind the purpose, the grace behind the grit
Family & Legacy – real stories from our home, our parenting journey, and raising five strong, faith-filled kids
Wellness & Rhythm – how I stay grounded and energized through fitness, nourishing routines, and spiritual wellness
Home & Design – my latest projects, behind-the-scenes stories, and tips for making your home both beautiful and meaningful
Style & Everyday Living – my favorite finds, seasonal favorites, and the little luxuries that bring joy to everyday life

Whether you’re a longtime client, a new reader, or a brand seeking a values-driven partner, this is my invitation to you: come walk with me—not just through the houses we build, but through the life, faith, and family legacy that’s being built behind the scenes.

Thank you for being here.
Let’s go beyond the blueprint—together.

With grace,
Erika
