Unforgettable in every way! Natalie Cole said it first. And today let's explore how to make your home unforgettable with one of our favorite design schemes in interior design.
We are so inspired by these interiors that we are sharing today! If you are looking to create a home of visual interest aka one that looks as if its been ripped right out of the latest issue of AD Magazine then we have got you. A home that is an authentic representation of you and your lifestyle. We got you. A home that is full of personality and a wonderful sense of storytelling. We got you.
Shall we begin?
One of the keys to layering is to not keep things linear. Intentionally curate an experience. One where the eyes will find it hard to decide where to settle. And this doesn't mean that you create a room that feels chaotic. I mean there are moments where messy is chic but let us focus on creating homes that radiate tranquility. (And tranquility does not come in a one size fits all, please and thank you!)
What layering allows you to do is to create a home that is a reflection of a life lived. Your collection of Christmas baubles that you choose to display all 365 days of the year. Your beloved VHS collection of 1990 romcom films. What do we do with all the wonderful objets that you have decided to let live in your space? We build a home around them; an opportunity for you to place yourself in a space that feels loved and lived in.
+ Throw Practicality out the Window
Yes, I am in the kitchen but why can't I have a disco ball as my chandelier? My vintage record player, where else would she be other than on the counter space next to my fruit basket. See each room as a movie scene! Why not? After all you are the main character in your life story. Stepping into a kitchen like this weaves a whole host of stories just waiting to be embraced by you and your guests.
+ 'Excuse me while I kiss the Sky'
Continue the design conversation upwards. Our first interior shot is a great example of this. A gorgeous weathered vintage bookshelf sits bursting at the seams. The narrative could have stopped there. But the narrative continues with the eye-catching vintage mirror and antique paintings. It's just these little details that make a space feel effortlessly curated.
+ Thou Shall Not Waste
We are champions here at Galileo at living life fully. Whatever full throttle means and feels like and looks life for you. Go for it. Capture that energy by filling each nook and cranny with something wonderful. Layering allows you to use negative space to create a story -- whether simple or dynamic, its all up to you.
And that dear friends is the best tip we could ever give you!
