I get a lot of questions about styling and I´ll share some simple tips that I use for my own home as well as for work. Since I just moved in to this apartment you might find the photos I’m sharing a bit empty but I actually want to keep the airy feeling and try not to fill the rooms with stuff. Lets start with the living room, although most tips can go for every room in the house its nice to see what I am talking about in actual use.
1. Smaller objects, always gather in stills. Even a magazine with a nice spread can be part of one. I prefer a more casual and personal way of styling, its nice when it looks like you’re actually living in your home. So don’t be to hung up in making a perfect still. The imperfection is the most interesting. Windowsills (if they are deep), your table or on top of a shelf or a cabinet are great places to make these.
2. Making stills can also be done with a framed artwork and a stack of books or magazines. Use everyday objects you have in your home and put them together with selected items you love. Things with a story makes your home more personal.
3. Keeping a wall completely naked is relaxing for the eyes. I intend to keep it like this in my home and having a blank canvas to work with is great. Framed artwork can be placed on the floor and makes it easy to change it whenever you’d like.
4. Skirting boards in the same color as the wall. Not really a styling tip, but I’m including it. It adds length to the wall and makes the room look calmer. Doors and window frames also look beautiful painted in the same color but since I have different colors in my rooms I chose to paint mine white.
5. Lamps can easily serve both as functional lighting and as a sculpture object. There are so many beautiful lamps to choose from! A nice lamp can be the centre of attention on the side table, casually placed upon a stack of books.
