The Power of Styling: Turning a House into a Home

A beautifully renovated space is a great start to any home, but without styling, even the most stunning space can feel cold and bare. The right décor can bring warmth, character, and a lived-in feeling that makes your space truly come alive. We believe styling is where the magic happens—it’s what transforms a newly renovated house into a home where our clients can live their best lives.

Our Signature: Mixing New and Vintage for Character

One of the easiest ways to add personality to your home is by blending new and vintage pieces. Whether it's a cherished family heirloom or a vintage find from a local shop, these items add a layer of history and uniqueness to your space. 

This mix of vintage and modern is one of the key elements of our design aesthetic We love incorporating vintage books, cigar boxes (perfect for hiding remotes and clutter!), and other timeless pieces that not only look beautiful but also serve a purpose. The mix of old and new creates a balanced, eclectic feel that makes your home truly one-of-a-kind.

Fun Fact: Not All Art Needs to Be Hung

Who says art always has to be hung? 

We love leaning artwork on shelves or mantels—it’s an effortless way to create visual interest without committing to permanent placement. It also gives you the flexibility to swap pieces in and out as your style evolves. 

Layering art with other decorative elements, like vintage books or plants, brings life and character to the space in a way that feels casual and personal.

The Power of Greenery - Let there be life!

Never underestimate the power of plants in a home. Greenery is a quick and easy way to make any room feel more vibrant and alive.

Whether it's a statement fiddle leaf fig or a small cluster of succulents, plants breathe life into a space and create a natural balance between the architecture and décor. Plus, they add a cozy, lived-in vibe that’s hard to achieve with furniture alone.

Make it Cozy: Styling for Comfort and Warmth

Without styling, a newly renovated space can feel stark and unfinished. The right décor—pillows, rugs, artwork, and personal items—adds warmth and makes the space feel lived-in and welcoming. 

A thoughtfully styled room highlights the architecture and design, softening the edges and creating an inviting atmosphere. This is where the transformation happens, where a house becomes more than just a space—it becomes a home.
