Emphasising the importance of individuality, balance, and sustainability in interior spaces, the following can help anyone looking to create a beautiful and functional interior that truly resonates with their style.

Embracing Your Personal Style

Aim to curate spaces that reflect your personality and lifestyle. It's essential to create a home that feels authentic to you. Don’t be afraid to mix different styles and pieces that resonate with your taste, adding personal touches, such as artwork, books or collectables can transform a space and make it truly yours.

Focus On Balance & Harmony

Creating a balanced, easy flow and feel good environment in your home is crucial to our wellbeing – pay attention to proportions, colors, and textures. Mixing heavy and light elements can enhance the overall aesthetic, aiming to achieve harmony in your space so that all components—furniture, decor, lighting—work together to create a cohesive look.

Embrace Layers & Textures

Incorporating a variety of textures adds depth and interest to a room. Use different materials, such as wood, metal, fabric, or glass, to create a tactile experience.

Prioritise Lighting

Lighting can dramatically alter the mood of a room. Use a combination of ambient, task, and accent lighting to create versatility, interest and warmth. Consider the natural light available and how it changes throughout the day. Well-placed and design/feature focused light fixtures can highlight areas and enhance the overall design of your space.

Sustainability Matters - Think Long Term

Invest in quality pieces that offer longevity. While trends can be tempting, it's important to choose timeless designs and durable materials that will stand the test of time. This approach not only ensures that your space remains timeless but also reduces the need for frequent updates, making it a more sustainable choice.
