Interior Design: Styling like a boss

Sharing this little beauty by @ispydiy to talk about styling.

Ever wonder how they make it look so damn good?! Well, some of it is practice, some of it is talent - loads of it can be learned!!

I like to think of it like a landscape of mountains. Some are low, some are high, some are in the middle. From a distance, many mountains overlap each other creating that perfect picturesque landscape.

Consider these key tips:

- create groupings of items instead of just lining them up. Let the pieces get cozy with their friends - they don’t need to social distance.
- group similar items for repetition. A grouping of similar candle sticks, cutting boards, coloured glasses, etc.
- layer. Put tall pieces in the back and smaller pieces in the front.
- get friendly with triangles. Arranging pieces to create a distinct peak and valley moves your eye across an arrangement in a way that makes your brain happy.
- change up the texture. Think smooth clear glass with textured rough wood. Or in this case, colourful greenery against a smooth backsplash.

How to create an inviting space you'll actually want to spend time in

What makes a space we want to spend time in?

I think an inviting space is a thoughtful combination of classic pieces, warm woods, textured materials and a fun infusion of something modern.

The combination of these elements keeps a space fresh and a little bit unpredictable. We’re humans after all, and even as we resist change - we crave it.

I think this dining space by @anthology_creative_studio mixes these elements beautifully.

I would happily pull up a seat and share this space with friends and family.
