Cookie Cutter Modern
The rise of stores like Ikea meant that more people could incorporate a Scandinavian minimalistic style in their home for a decent price. However, that means that many people’s homes end up looking exactly the same. Designer Erika Yeaman explains how to prevent this.
“A lot of people love the idea of really simple, modern living—it’s appealing, it’s nice, and it seems serene. But the reality of maintaining that is a little tricker. Mixing Scandinavian design with bohemian style warms it up and makes it feel more homey and attainable.”
Remember To Edit
Sometimes we add a piece of decor to our homes and then totally forget about it. Even if it was working for a while, always remember to take a look at your home’s decor and see if it still makes sense.
Try to look around and “edit” your home’s decor. Designer J. Randall Powers shares the best way to do this without it taking too long: “If you look at it and you question it–put it away.” It’s a great method for avoiding clutter.
