A refresh in the sitting room. It was much needed. I enjoyed the black walls for nearly 8 years but the space was begging for some light. I’m not sure about my gallery wall at the moment. I like it for now until I find that perfect piece for the wall. I’m hoping to find a beautiful antique tapestry to hang.

... Read moreRefreshing your living space after years with a particular design can breathe new life into your home and mindset. I’ve personally experienced the impact that lighting and color changes can have, especially when transitioning from a dark palette like black walls to lighter tones. This change not only makes the room feel more spacious but also energizes the space, encouraging different furniture and décor choices. A gallery wall can be a great way to showcase personality, but it’s often tricky to get it right. When starting my own gallery wall, I went through phases of swapping out pieces, balancing colors, and mixing styles until it felt just right. Having an eclectic mix allows for personal storytelling through art and finds from thrift shops or travels, tying into trends like dark academia and maximalism, which combine vintage and intellectual aesthetics. Incorporating a beautiful antique tapestry is a fantastic idea. Tapestries bring texture and history to a room, often becoming a focal point that adds warmth and uniqueness. Sourcing antique tapestries can be done through estate sales, vintage shops, or online marketplaces specializing in vintage textiles. Keep in mind, the tapestry’s size, color, and theme should complement the surrounding décor to maintain harmony. Finally, embracing thrifted décor pieces aligns well with the sustainable and cost-effective approach to interior design. Mixing thrifted finds with newer items encourages creativity, often resulting in a well-curated and inviting living space. These layered styles, like eclectic and maximalism, celebrate individuality, making the sitting room a true reflection of your tastes and experiences.

If your towels aren’t as soft or absorbent as they used to be—or worse, they have that musty smell no matter how much you wash them—it’s time for a deep refresh! 🧼💦 ✔️ The Problem: Over time, detergent & fabric softener build up, making towels stiff and less absorbent. ✔️ The Fix: Skip the
