The Weekly Edit

This week we talk about the difference between Interior design and Styling, give you some tips of how to style your shelving units and share a delicious Autumn recipe.

1. Interior Design VS Styling

This is often confusing topic so I will do my best to explain the difference...

Interior Design encompasses the planning and execution of a space’s layout and functionality while styling focuses on the decorative aspects and arrangement of furnishings to enhance the overall visual appeal.

Interior Design addresses the broader elements often from the initial building stages, such as spatial planning and architectural considerations. Styling adds the finishing touches to reflect personal style and overall ambience.

2. Style Your Shelves

Styling a set or a group of shelves can be tricky so here are some tips!

Aim for a balanced look by distributing items of varying heights and sizes throughout. Mix and match objects such as books, vases, baskets, decorative objects, candles and plants and incorporate textures and materials such as wood, ceramic and glass. Choose a colour scheme that complements the room's decor, experiment with layers to create depth and dimension and use odd numbers when grouping items.

Do not overcrowd, leave empty spaces to add depth and dimension. Personalise it by adding some pictures and don't be afraid to keep experimenting until you achieve your desired look.



 3. Hello Autumn

Loving for 2024

I We have recently put together a selection of wool throws for a client. Throws provide both warmth and coziness to a space whilst adding a touch of luxury. Plus they are delicious to cuddle up with!

Design Tip

When styling a shelf or larger area remember the “rule of three’. Select three focal points or grouping of items to create visual interest and balance. For example a stack of books with an object on top, a framed photo with a small plant and a unique sculpture or vase.
