Your home should feel like you—a reflection of your story, your style, and the things that matter most. Here are three easy ways to bring more personality into your space.
Display Personal Photos & Art
There’s no better way to make a space feel uniquely yours than by incorporating personal photos and artwork. Display images of loved ones or moments that bring you joy. Use art that reflects your taste or travels. In the Golden Garden Kitchen, we started with a bold, tropical piece of art and designed the entire color scheme around it—proof that art can truly lead the way in personalizing a room.
Incorporate Unique and Sentimental Items
Decorate with items that tell a story—heirlooms, souvenirs, or pieces passed down through generations. These elements bring warmth and history to a home. In the recently completed Victorian Sands kitchen (check it out on Instagram), the client had one must-keep item: a shelf that belonged to her mother. We built the pantry around it, turning it into a meaningful focal point.
Customize Items Just for You
Choose custom fabrics, finishes, or furniture details to ensure your space feels one-of-a-kind. We especially love mixing patterns and textures in pillows, chairs, and window treatments to create that polished, personalized finish.
It doesn’t take much to make a home feel deeply yours—just thoughtful layers that speak to who you are. Want our support in showing yourself in your home? Let’s connect!
Sincerely,
