CONNECT HEART & HOME ///
How important is decorating your home with personal flair and sentimental touches?
Do you believe your home is a reflection of you?
What colours, textures, and compositions make your heart sing and bring you effortless joy?
There are some simple and awesome benefits to designing the space in your home with heart felt individual style. The choices you make to decorate your home should reflect your personal experiences, aesthetic and sensory pleasures and ultimately, your unique personality.
Here are 5 reasons why:
1. You will feel uplifted by your surroundings
You are ahead of the game if you surround yourself with things that speak to your heart and make you feel something! Each day you get to hang out with your favourite things. As you use unique kitchenware or admire a favourite artwork, or even wrap yourself up in a favourite throw. I dare you not to smile.
2. Your memories will be all around you
As you collect special trinkets and treasures on your adventures, you will have a collection of souvenirs from places you visited, gifts from special people or unexpected new finds that remind you of an older memory. Photographs displayed in handmade or vintage frames at a lovely aesthetic to visual memories.
3. You will create an opportunity to connect more deeply with yourself
As you select furnishings and decor for your home, you must tune into how different colours, textures, and aesthetics make you feel. You will naturally be drawn to some themes, colour palettes, and designs more than others. This is normal and important. Be brave and bold in your choices, tune in deeply and choose your own joy every time.
4. You will feel more gratitude and care for your home
As you interact with the furniture and decor, you have personally and lovingly selected with thought and heart felt intention. You will feel gratitude for simple daily routines and rituals. You will take more care not to break or damage precious items. Things will taste better, feel better, and belong together. You will naturally want to love and care for your home with greater capacity.
5. You will be doing the environment a favour
Because you are decorating your home with more personal integrity, you will take more time and care to select items for your home. You will select homewares and decor with more intention. This will see you investing in longevity, timeless design, and durable, well-made pieces that will last and won't need to be replaced in a couple of years.
