My Favourite Hacks For Curating Trend Resistant Interiors 


There is nothing wrong with feeling inspired by current design, aesthetics and even trends… but by not ever truly distinguishing between what YOU actually love (and what you are subconsciously being influenced by)…

You’ll likely end up spending a silly amount of money; hopping from one trend to next, and here's the thing… it can start to feel dated VERY quickly.
 
So today I wanted to share my Top Tips for Curating Trend Resistant Interiors:
 


✨ 1. Reflect on Your Personal Story

  • Write down significant life experiences: Start a journal or document where you can note down memorable experiences, nostalgic places, and/or influential stories from your life.

  • Create a mood board: Use images, quotes, or items that remind you of these experiences to visualise your personal journey.

  • Incorporate personal elements into your decor: Choose art and collect objects that tell your story or remind you of a specific time, place, or emotion.

  • Always remember: Infusing your unique story is the difference between creating a space that lacks soul, and a space that sparks conversation.

 


✨ 2. Create Focal Points with Art

Integrating artwork into your home isn’t just about filling walls; it's about creating meaningful focal points that evoke emotion, spark conversation, and tell a story.

  • Aim to choose pieces that capture a memory, spark curiosity, or offer an escape.

  • Learn about the artist, their story and process.

  • Learn about their background, techniques, and inspirations. Knowing this will enrich the story of each piece, adding layers of meaning that will far outstrip aesthetic appeal alone.

  • Create focal points in the room by hanging the artwork at eye level, in most rooms, this means hanging it approximately 57-60 inches from the floor.

. Be Intentional About Letting Your Space Evolve
 

Be Intentional about letting your space evolve — Rushed decisions often lead to fleeting satisfaction. Timeless interiors evolve over time.

  • Try to resist the urge to decorate your space in one go: rather invest in quality pieces - as you stumble across them and fall in love.

  • Curate over time: Allow your space to gradually incorporate pieces that you truly love and hold special meaning to you.

  • Design with purpose: Ensure every item in your space has a reason, whether it's functional, sentimental, or aesthetic.


    ✨ 4. When in Doubt, Turn to Nature 

    Nature has been here long before we ever existed and will continue to be here long after.

    I am a firm believer that nature holds the key to timeless design. Its patterns, textures and colours have inspired artists and designers for centuries.

    • Incorporate diverse plants: Mix different sizes, shapes, and colours of plants & flowers to bring vitality & life into your space.

    • Use natural colours and textures: Let the outdoors inspire your colour palette and material choices.

    • Select nature-inspired art and decor: Select art pieces and decor that draw from these colours and textures, whether it’s a painting, a sculpture, or decorative objects that mimic these natural forms.
