Many people look to their friends and social media for inspiration for home decor, as well as personal style. Then they take bits and pieces of what they find, try to redecorate or reinvent, but find that it still doesn’t look right. The problem is that other people aren’t you.
That doesn’t mean you should ignore your inspirations. But it does mean that you need to figure out why they appeal to you. What do the styles that interest you have in common? Once you figure this out, don’t just borrow the interesting bits. That’s not a coherent style. Build your own. Try creating a moodboard that represents you.
Also remember that this is only one step in the process. You’re not going to find the perfect fit immediately, and may need to swap things out multiple times. This is especially true if you’re looking to redecorate your home as well as reinvent yourself. You’ll need to keep in mind wall colors, accents, and decor type, as these can all affect your home’s value down the line.
