Styling Notes

  1. 01Balance every blue upholstered piece with at least one warm neutral partner.
  2. 02Keep the fireplace styling symmetrical but never stiff.
  3. 03Use florals in muted scales — nothing too crisp or high contrast.
  4. 04A bouquet and candlesticks together make the room feel instantly lived in.
  5. 05Layer rugs and pillows in washed, faded tones rather than bright pattern.
