Home Decorating Philosophy & Trends

Today lets talk about purchasing or making matching items and sprinkling them throughout the rooms in your home to bring a cohesive feel to your home. We talked about color and how choosing a few paint colors and repeating them throughout your home can connect rooms and add an element of a general overall style to your home. Lets talk about matching items today.

I’m one who when I find a cute shirt I will buy it in two or three different colors. If I love it, I know I will wear it and like it in other colors as well. I’ve done the same with items in my home. This last year I found some signs that I absolutely fell in love with. I had some money leftover from some furniture purchases I made earlier that year, and used it to splurge on three of these large signs. You might think three large signs in someones home is too much, but I love that they repeat themselves throughout my home. I have one in the basement, one in our great room, and one in our master. Love.

I have also repeated random items throughout our home. I have 6 of the ikea cubed bookshelves, for functionality and for looks. I’ve already shared my use of repeating books, photos, wreaths, and garlands throughout my home. I repeat white frames, lamps, woven baskets, globes, and mason jars.
