[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s my style — eclectic, bookish, worldly, comfortable but a little more traditional. My own home is a reflection of my love for ikea/things I could afford to buy, and stuff from my parents house after my mom died.  I don’t like trendy decor. As soon as I admire it, it’s everywhere— think the Warby Parker aesthetic.

I prefer art and decor to have real meaning and sentimental qualities. So, for instance, a vase and silver plate my immigrant parents bought on their honeymoon in Niagara Falls. A Persian rug my dad purchased from his friend, whose brother was stuck in Iran and had all their wealth in rugs. Handicrafts from India (I’m Indian American)—but not too much, this can quickly become clutter. I like mid century furniture but I’m not strict about it’s provenance. Add white walls downstairs with modern lamps and bright art or family photos in a gallery display. Upstairs we have walls painted rich espresso, lilac, pale blue and lemon yellow, and more family collectibles and art we’ve created. I do see something in most of the visual clutter. I keep it tidy but not all at right angles, exactly on the mark. It’s a home, not a a hotel or museum. [/quote]

It sounds layered and deep personal, which are always the best homes in my opinion.[/quote]
