Find Your Home Style in 7 Easy Steps

You crave a home you love, but when you look around your space, you feel blah.

You see homes on Pinterest you love but don't know if it's really "you". 

You want to create your dream home but don't have the cash to do it all at once.

If it sounds like we're reading your mail, you're in the right place! We've created a step-by-step guide to help you (sustainably) create a home you'll love so much you'll ditch the vacation cause you won't want to leave!

Create a Mood Board: Set the Tone for Your Space

The first step in curating your dream home is creating a mood board. This is where your vision begins to take shape! This guide will review how to create a mood board on Pinterest, you can also gather images, colors, textures, and pieces that resonate with you to create a physical board. 

Pin Like Mad: Gather Inspiration from Everywhere

Now that you have a mood board created, it’s time to dive into the exciting world of inspiration and pin like mad! As you search, you can search with vague terms like "apartment bedroom" or get super specific and search "coastal living room". Whichever way you choose to search, don’t hold back—collect images of furniture, color schemes, decor items, and even architecture that catch your eye. This stage is all about gathering as much inspiration as possible. The more you pin, the clearer your vision will become!

Filter Things Out: Refine Your Vision

With a treasure trove of inspiration at your fingertips, it’s time to start filtering. Go through your pins and identify the pieces and ideas that truly align with your vision. Ask yourself: Does this item resonate with the mood I want to create? Does it fit with the overall aesthetic I’m aiming for? Keep the images and ideas that speak to you and let go of those that don’t quite fit. This process of refinement will help you hone in on your true style.

Look for a Pattern: Discover Your Signature Style

As you refine your pins, you’ll start to notice patterns in your choices. Maybe you’re drawn to mid-century modern furniture, earthy color palettes, or eclectic boho vibes. Whatever the pattern, it’s a glimpse into your signature style. This is your unique aesthetic—embrace it! Understanding the common threads in your selections will make it easier to create a cohesive and harmonious space.

Clear Out Your Home: Make Space for the New

Before you start bringing in new pieces, it’s important to clear out the old. Decluttering your space is not just about making room physically, but also mentally. Let go of items that no longer serve you, or that don’t align with the vision you’ve curated. This step is essential in creating a space that feels fresh, intentional, and aligned with your newfound style.

Save for What You Love: Invest in Quality Pieces

Now that you have a clear vision and a decluttered space, it’s time to start bringing your dream home to life. But remember...quality over quantity. Invest only in pieces you love—items that bring you joy and serve a purpose in your space. Whether it’s a statement sofa, an eye-catching piece of art, or a cozy rug, these items will become the focal points of your home. Don’t rush the process by grabbing something that's just ok from Amazon; take your time to find pieces that resonate with you and complement your style.
