When it comes to decorating EVERYTHING!
I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve uttered the words “if you love it, buy it”. Sometimes I think people get so caught up in decorating in a specific style, one that they may not even truly be connected with, that they buy only items that fit the image of what that style looks and feels like in their minds. While I am all for someone identifying and understanding the foundation of the style that most appeals to them, I am also someone who believes your home should be and feel personal, be a collection of things that make you feel good and soothe your soul, and most of all be full of things you love, just because you love them!
And yes, I am one of those designers that believes if you see something, LOVE IT but don’t know exactly where it will go in your house, BUY IT because you will find the perfect spot for it within your home!
If you see a magenta JUJU hat and it makes you smile…buy it! The perfect wall decor does not have to be framed and under glass.
If you see a wild piece of art to fill that empty wall, go for it. Art is a personal statement and says so much about who you are!
If a striped sofa or a royal blue one for that matter are what you love, buy it and use it as the jumping off point for the rest of your decor.
If a bold rug reflects the energy and zest you have for life, bring it home and let it energize the rest of your home.
If a canary yellow stool adds a sense of sunshine to your home, buy it and place it so that you see it every time you enter and exit your home.
If whimsical curtains reflect your personality and maybe your love of food, why not? Afterall, your home should be a personal reflection of you.
If a yellow lamp is calling your name, grab it and make it a focal point. It just might be the perfect accent to tie it all together!
If just one more pillow turns your bedroom into a retreat, buy it because that’s what your home should be!
When it comes to decorating, we all want a home that is beautiful, but beyond that we should all strive for A HOME THAT WE LOVE!
What does your home say about you? Do you love everything in it?
