@thelundshome: Design advice I wish I knew sooner. 1. Texture matters more than color. The most beautiful homes usually repeat the same few materials over and over: wood, linen, stone, metal, greenery. 2. Every room needs: - a lead actor - supporting characters - and quiet background pieces Too many “statement” pieces is usually why a room feels chaotic. 3. Don’t sleep on Facebook Marketplace. Especially for large pieces. Older furniture is usually better made, more unique, and somehow still cheaper than buying new. Honestly, the larger the piece… the more it should probably be an antique. 4. Your rug is probably too small. If the front legs of the furniture aren’t on it, size up immediately. 5. Good lighting matters more than almost anything else. Lamps will always make a home feel better than overhead lighting. 6. Furniture with visible legs almost always makes a room feel more expensive. Air underneath furniture = visual breathing room. 7. If a family member offers you something… say yes first. Silver, artwork, crystal, furniture, linens. Collected homes are built over generations. 8. Stop buying fast decor. “Buy it nice or buy it twice” is painfully true in design. 9. Matching furniture sets usually make a room feel flatter. The exception outdoor furniture. The best homes look layered, not purchased all at once. 10. Every room needs: - something old - something imperfect - something handmade - and something alive That’s usually the difference between a home that feels decorated… and one that feels unforgettable 🤍 Also STOP buying tiny decor. Bigger art. Bigger lamps. Bigger plants. Bigger impact. Let me know if you want a part 2. #timelessinteriors #collectedhome #interiordesign #slowliving #homedecor
