It is natural to look at other homes furnished with items and decorated in styles very different from yours. Nothing is wrong with admiring those interiors; nothing is wrong with fantasizing about living in such spaces. What may be wrong is your wanting to own a home designed and decorated for the pure pleasure of keeping up with the Jones's, and showing off to family and friends. What may be wrong is your wanting a particular decor because it is popular, or trendy.
If your home is comfortable and equipped with the necessary furnishings for your lifestyle, you don't have an "ordinary" living space but a home that works for you.
Isn't that what home really is?
It is having the look and feel that evokes nostalgic memories of childhood and other happy events in your life. It is surrounding yourself with the things that caress your senses. It is a space that soothes and nurtures your body and soul. It is the place where you kick off your shoes, put on your most comfortable clothes, play your favorite music, talk, laugh and play with the people you love and entertain the friends who love you just the way you are.
What is important is how your home makes you feel emotionally and physically and that special way in which it echoes your personality and accommodates the way you live every day.
So, decorate your home with freedom, with passion and with your individual decorating style, whatever it is.
