Styling Tips – From this week’s Newsletter

Styling Tips – From this week’s Newsletter

1. Vary Heights to Create Interest

Everything sitting at the same level feels static.
Mix:
Low (books, trays)
Medium (vases, bowls)
Tall (lamps, branches)

This draws the eye through the space instead of stopping it.

2. Leave Space — It’s a Design Tool

Not every surface needs to be filled.
Empty space:
Makes pieces feel more premium
Reduces visual stress
Helps key items stand out

If in doubt, remove one item — not add one.

3. Anchor Your Settings

Floating furniture feels disconnected.
Always ground a space with:
A rug
A central table
Or a defined layout

This makes everything feel intentional instead of temporary.

4. Mix Materials, Keep the Palette Tight

Too many colours feel chaotic.
Too many of the same materials feel flat.
The balance:
Limit your colour palette
Mix your materials (timber, stone, fabric, metal)

This gives depth without losing cohesion.

5. Style for Real Life, Not Just Display

The best spaces feel lived in, not staged.
Add:
A book someone might actually read
A tray ready for use
A chair angled as if someone just sat there

This helps customers emotionally connect with the space.

6. Create One Focal Point Per Area

Every space needs a “hero.”
It might be:
A sofa
A dining setting
A statement chair

Everything else should support it not compete with it.
