From the time we left the nest and embarked on quests for our own spaces, we’ve all thought about interior style and how to approach it. It’s engrained in us early on that those spaces should look like they were ripped right out of an episode of Cribs, Sex and the City, or Selling New York. (A fallacy, we should add…)
And what happens? Many panic and run to IKEA, fill their blue buggies with whatever looks fun or urban chic; transform their space into a neutral nightmare with every wall painted a shade of beige or cream; or build bookshelves with plywood and cinder blocks, and throw in a couch that may have last decorated a street curb, in an effort to seem “green”.
Don’t worry, there is hope. It is possible to pull back from the ledge of neutrals and flat-pack furniture, and even the “rescued” furniture of our college days. You can still find the “just right” personal style for your space.
On this blog, we’ll guide you through the DOs and DON’Ts of leveling-up your space’s style, whatever kind of space it is. And, don’t get us wrong, we don’t hate IKEA – your apartment shouldn’t look like page 75 of their catalogue.
