"Curiosity is key in design, and I believe it's essential not to shy away from exploring your own creativity. Take the time to truly understand what your personal style feels like, as this will guide you in creating spaces that are authentically yours."

Style In Action
Expert Tip: "I’m a big fan of tangible inspiration. Gather a stack of your favorite design magazines, tear out the pages that resonate with you, and create your own mood board. This tactile approach can be incredibly grounding. Of course, digital platforms like Pinterest and Instagram are also invaluable for sparking ideas and keeping up with trends. However, the sheer volume of content can be overwhelming. My advice? Stay true to yourself and the inherent style of your home. When you do, you’ll find that your design decisions naturally fall into place."
