Meet Nasreen
Nasreen lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, Nazim, and their 3 beautiful children. What started as sharing outfit ideas with friends and family in 2017 has now grown 6 years later into a successful career as a lifestyle, fashion, and beauty influencer. She’s worth the follow— both for inspiration and her heart for others that shines through in everything she does.
If you’ve ever wondered if she’s as genuine in person as she is online, the answer is YES. She’s truly one-of-a-kind and we are so grateful for the opportunity to help her family get settled in their new home.
Building Luxury
The plans for Nasreen’s dream closet started back in 2021 when Rebecka had the opportunity to weigh in on features Nasreen’s closet needed to include for not only her beautiful collection but for her career as well. Rebecka thoughtfully drew up plans for the builder and the result is absolutely breathtaking.
“During the building process we really wanted to make sure we maximized the space that we had with built in systems that would work best for our family. I reached out to GS for that reason, I knew they would be able to help us design our closets and mudroom to do just that!” -Nasreen
Details Worth Mentioning
Open shelving was built for Nasreen’s investment pieces to be displayed, while drawer space was utilized for casual sandals and tennis shoes.
Even in this custom closet, Rebecka ensured all shelving and hanging rods were made to be adjustable.
A built in steamer was included in the closet as they prefer to steam vs. iron.
For this family who loves to travel, a travel zone was created in the primary closet to easily grab-and-go travel essentials and suitcases.
Tall ceilings, no problem! We maximized space by bringing the hanging rods and cabinetry all the way to top.

Everyday Elegance
The primary closet is a perfect example of what we can accomplish with our Building Luxury service. Rebecka worked with Nasreen and her builders to design a fashion lover’s dream closet, creating moments throughout to display items like handbags, hats, and belts. Gold-lipped drawer organizers add a pop of sophistication while keeping accessories in place, while stands for jewelry give the space a boutique feel.
DID YOU KNOW? Founders Rebecka and Christina bring their experience working at CHANEL and Bank of America to everything they do at Graceful Spaces, redefining luxury organization with high standards and attention to detail.
Curious which CHANEL is Nasreen’s favorite?
“My favorite is the white one which is one of the most recent ones I purchased. I got it the day before my double mastectomy and reconstruction while we were in LA. I wanted that bag for a couple years but it’s a “unicorn” bag they say. We were out walking around after lunch and I walked into the CHANEL boutique just to browse and it was there, staring right at me!! The last one in the country so of course I had no choice ;)”
Luxury Handbag Care 101
Store out of direct sunlight.
Light and dark leathers should not touch.
Ensure all handbags have the correctly sized handbag stuffer inside to maintain shape.
Most handbags should be placed on shelf vs. on a hanger to care for straps.
Lambskin (one of the most gentle) should be placed in an area that is not busy because it scratches easily. It should also be considered what display cases would cause imprint or dents.
Caviar is less delicate.
Any time of exotic prints should ideally be in dust bag.
All handbags should be in air controlled environment
If you have vintage bags in need of new life, check with your local shoe smith for conditioning of leathers. Most designers also have a repair program where investments bags can restored for as little as $250.
“The GS team was amazing! Nazim & I joked that they were like little fairies just working away making everything beautiful. They were very respectful of our home and were truly a joy to have here!” - Nasreen

PRO TIP: The most important thing to remember when tackling bathroom organization is to determine how it fits into your routine. Once you know how your bathroom is being used, organize toiletries and other items by how frequently they’re needed. Daily and weekly items should be easy to grab, while monthly or occasional products can be more tucked away.
