(Sara Gilbane)5 Ways to Create Instant Style
1. Be Yourself. Keep your eye trained for things that express you, and collect them to develop your signature style and to bring your space to life. Every room in your home is a chance to express yourself.
2. Be open to inspiration. Take in your surroundings and pay attention to what you love and hate, or what makes you feel comfortable and gives you joy. Look at websites and books, and take time to travel.
3. Classic never goes out of fashion. Take a down-filled English arm sofa, a gourd lamp, a Parsons coffee table or a bamboo side chair, and simply add the right accessories to provide personality and make them feel more modern.
4. Let your room express your personal history. Photographs of family and your favorite things should have a welcome presence.
5. Design your home with functionality in mind. If you dream of having large dinner parties, but in reality tend to eat out, don’t invest in a large, expensive dining table. Focus on the things you really need and invest your money in the appropriate pieces.
