Own It! Have confidence in the designs and styles that you love and build on that. Your interior is just an extension of your creativity. Styling your home is an opportunity to express yourself artistically with looks that you love and live amongst those choices! At first glance, this can seem like a no brainer, but for many, it is not. We put so much pressure on ourselves and that’s when the doubt sets in. I’m here to tell you if you love a certain look, and you find yourself wanting to incorpo - rate it into your space, just go with it. You love it for a reason… because it’s you! If you need help from a professional, go for it! Interior designers are well trained in helping homeowners bring their ideas to life.
FINDING YOUR INNER INTERIOR DESIGNER DESIGN OF THE TIMES L ife is funny. One day you’re completely by Megan Callahan
carefree, 7 years old and hanging upside down at the playground with your friends. Before you know it, you’re 20 and think you have your whole future figured out. Then, out of nowhere, BOOM – you’re a full-fledged adult with all the responsibilities in the world. We don’t even realize it until we look back and see how quickly the days went by. Looking back, there are so many boxes we can check that say ‘Yep! I should have known my carefree days are over!’ One of those checked boxes is the never-ending desire to make our homes look exactly the way we want it to look. From our stockpile of interior design magazines to binge watching the amazing HGTV reno shows (shout out to Newfoundland’s own Rock Solid Builds!), and mainly through our own personality and creativity, we create an idea of how we want our home to look. There are many different angles to this, and therefore
the big picture can sometimes feel overwhelm- ing. We want our interior to look amazing and wow everyone that walks though the door, but many of us also want the ‘kick your feet up on the couch after work’ level of comfort, but not at the expense of design. We ask for it all, and we can get it! There are a few tricks to really help home- owners find the style they want in their home.
