When it comes to design, you want your home to feel put together, while still feeling laid back and approachable. Bright, white spaces with natural light flooding in are your jam.

You feel most at home on the beach or on a lake with the sun shining down, and love bringing that cheery vibe into your home.

"Have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful."

HERE are SOME tips to avoid design fatigue:

You are drawn towards natural materials, such as rattan, bleached wood, and linen. While you have a lot of white throughout your home, these natural elements help to warm up your space and add texture.

Although you love white, you aren't afraid to mix in a pop of color here and there. Whether it's a fun tile, a blue island - these unexpected accents make your home all the more cheery.

In your world, the perfect home is fresh, bright, and airy with the sun beaming in, a fresh breeze, and your feet kicked up.

So what does it really mean?

Now that you know your style, create a Pinterest board for each room you're designing and start saving images that all have the same feel. You’ll still have an array of options, but you’ll be able to make the final decision with more confidence knowing it suits your aesthetic.

Start with one piece that will be your focal point and build off of that. Whatever it is, make sure you genuinely love it. Your focal point should put a smile on your face because odds are you're going to be looking at it a lot. This could be a tile, counter, sofa - generally it's a foundational piece of your space.

Pick the rest of your décor to compliment that one statement piece. This will help you overcome any interior design indecision you may be facing. As a rule of thumb, we tend to stay more neutral on the items that are more permanent (such as tile or countertops).

Color and texture can transform how you feel. It’s science, friend. Each shade has a unique psychological affect. For example, blue is calming, which makes it a great pick for bedrooms.

Texture can also add a lot to a room. If you’re going for a warm, inviting vibe, pick soft fabrics. We like to add color and texture through items that can easily be swapped out, so if over time you get sick of them, you aren't demoing tile to change the look.
