I have been thinking a lot about 'a room should look collected not decorated' and it's really difficult to get the right mix of eclectic and interesting without making it look too forced. I adore images and homes full of unique features, it's a feast for the eyes and is probably why Anna Spiro is one of my favourite designers. I truly admire her bold and extravagant uses of colour with classic and interesting pieces.
Being a perfectionist is also juxtaposing because there truly is no perfect way to make a home your own. And sometimes, 'collect the things you love' can be such a wide range and variation of tastes - it pays to think about whether you want your decor to stay or ebb and flow with the latest trends.
I guess I'll just try my best and hope for the best too! :) It's quite fun really and I shouldn't get caught up in the technicalities! Haha!
It is fun, and thinking about it is part of the fun as well! :)
ReplyDeleteI think I'm obsessed! When I sit on the floor with the kids I catch myself thinking about what needs doing! :)
