Here are our go to secrets for a home that feels considered, complete and luxurious.
1. Pick one dominant material, like timber or stone, and repeat it through the home. It creates flow between rooms.
2. Anchor every space with the same metal finish. Brass, matte black or brushed nickel, just stay consistent.
3. Start each room with the rug, then build around it. It defines the space before anything else goes in.
4. Layer in this order. Flooring, walls, lighting, then decor. Each choice should respond to the one before it.
5. Hang art so the centre sits between 145 and 152 centimetres off the floor. It sits at eye level and feels right without you knowing why.
6. Keep the same globe warmth throughout the house. Warm white for a cosier, more cohesive feel room to room.
7. Measure twice before you buy. The wrong size rug or sofa will always read as a mistake, no matter how nice it is.
8. Build a simple mood board before you shop. Lock in your palette and textures first, shop second.
9. Walk your own home before buying new. The piece you already own might be the accent you are looking for.
10. Work to one whole home plan. Finishes chosen room by room rarely end up feeling like one house.
