As in dance, it is important to have only one star in the design of your perfect space. Pick one inspiration piece to build your room around and let it shine! All the other parts should be supporting characters in the beauty of your space.
Too many “stars” do not give the eyes a place to rest. The room can feel chaotic and give a sense of dis-harmony, never giving you a sense of peace or relaxation. It’s like too many cooks in a kitchen.
Here are some examples of different inspiration pieces that were the “stars” of some of my edesigns. Each design also gives a list of the star and supporting characters, which contain affiliate links. This means I may earn a small commission if you buy something at no additional cost to you.
Great examples of this concept! And very true, you only need one star in the room. ??
Thank you!
What a wonderful way to explain this idea! I am always telling clients if everything is special then nothing is! You’ve nailed a great analogy to explain.
Thank you, and that is os true. Give the star room to shine:)
This is SUCH excellent advice! And so true in design! Everything in a space should be thoughtfully chosen and special in its own right, but only one thing can be the star (and usually the starting point)!
Thank you, and that is a great point about the star being the starting point!
