When was the last time you walked into your home and thought, “This truly feels like me?” Not just a pretty space, but a space that reflects your personality, your story, and your vibe. If you’re not feeling that way yet, don’t worry—you’re not alone. Creating a home that feels authentic is more than just buying trendy furniture or matching colors; it’s about tapping into your essence. Let’s talk about how to do that, and why it matters so much.

First off, think about what makes you happy—not just on Pinterest, but in real life. Is it the smell of old books? The way natural light hits your favorite coffee shop? Maybe it’s the vibe of a cozy wine bar, with dim lighting and deep reds. Start there. Those little details that spark joy in your everyday life can translate into design.

Here’s where it gets fun: mix the unexpected. For example, one of my recent clients wanted a natural wood table for their vinyl player but didn’t want the space to feel too vintage. We paired it with a bold, modern lamp and a statement plant to strike a balance. The result? A space that felt completely one-of-a-kind—just like them.

Now, here’s the kicker: don’t aim for perfection. Homes aren’t meant to look like catalogs. They’re meant to feel alive, a little messy, and entirely yours. That painting your best friend made for you? Frame it. The chair you found at a flea market and had to lug up three flights of stairs? Give it pride of place.

Designing your space isn’t about trends—it’s about creating an environment where you can laugh, cry, dream, and grow. A place that feels like home. So, what story is your space telling? And more importantly, does it feel like you?
