creating a warm home
ADD COLOR
Starting with a blank slate is great, however things can look a bit repetitive and flat without adding color or texture. Don’t be afraid to experiment! Tip: if you're not sure where to start, add pops of your favorite color throughout your space. Remember your home should reflect your personal style.
KEEP THINGS SIMPLE
I cannot stress this enough. Having a cluttered home isn’t good for your sanity nor is over consumption good for your pockets. Keep spaces neat and clutter free. A minimalist design can significantly reduce the amount of time spent cleaning so you can dedicate more time to things you love doing.
GET INSPired
Pinterest is great but sometimes it can leave us with unrealistic expectations. Taking inspiration from our everyday lifestyle can have a huge impact on how we decorate our home. Go to the nearest coffee shop or take a trip to the museum, you’ll be surprised on what design choices you gravitate towards.
HOW TO CREATE A ZEN HOME WITH KIDS
Creating a peaceful, Zen-like home when you have children may sound like a challenge, but it’s not impossible. A calm, balanced environment can benefit both you and your kids by reducing stress, promoting mindfulness, and encouraging a sense of harmony in the home.
Shopping for those
“special pieces”
ESTATE SALES
Estate sales are my personal favorite. Different from antique or thifting, estate sales offer a unique blend of history and value. Depending on the type of estate sale, you can virtually furnish your home with amazing quality pieces on a budget !
THRIFT/ANTIQUES
Thrifting and Antique shopping has so many benefits. Not only is it extremely sustainable and has a positive impact on our environment, but it offers the chance to discover unique and vintage items not found anywhere else at reasonable prices.
SHOP IN-STORE
Cool, we know how to shop on the internet, but how many times have we had to return something. When it comes to our home we want pieces that are going to give us longevity and fit into our space seamlessly. Shopping in-store allows us to touch fabric, test out furniture and get a real feeling of what an item is before bringing it home.
