Share your personal story with guests by incorporating souvenirs and photos into your decor. This style is known as the curated look and it actually is very on-trend right now. Here are some suggestions for curating your own home.
Tips on how to Experiment with the Curated look
1. Remember: the quirkier, the better
Your home should reflect your individuality and journey through life, not a department store catalog. Frame your stash of wacky diner menus from around the globe. Or hang your kite collection from the ceiling. The more unique, the more effective.
2. Be unexpected
Use items in your collection in ways apart from their intended purpose to add a level of creativity to a room. Your antique porcelain chamber pots? Fill them with flowers. Fashion bottles of wine from special events into chandeliers or candle holders. Have mirrors cut to replace the strings on your old tennis rackets for a true reflection of your taste.
3. Think about size
When gathering treasures to display, make an effort to mix up the size of the items or photos in a grouping to provide visual interest.
4. Light it up
Make sure the lighting does your photos and treasures justice. Picture frame lights are available in so many styles you may also carry your theme through your hardware. Lights for inside cabinets and shelving units ensure everyone can admire the details of your collection.
5. Start with a single item
Lack a collection but have one item you cherish? Start with that piece and build a room around it, based on the color or style of the item. Hit flea markets, or the internet, with a purpose.
