People who decorate their homes in ultra modern designs make me cringe. There’s nothing appealing about primary-colored tones used to accent large geometric shapes – and to call any of this art is just wrong. Not to mention that the furniture and fixtures that accompany this genre are flat out repulsive. There’s nothing warm or inviting about short-legged, wide-spread coffee tables or a want-to-be chandelier composed of a single stainless-steel beam and a light bulb.
The way a living space is decorated says a lot about the person who dwells there. And the last thing I want my home to say is frigid, dull and tasteless. I prefer to embrace a variety of styles and cultures in my home décor. One of my favorites is British Colonial décor because it’s easy to find and offers a sophisticated, yet rustic, appearance. Every room in my home is equally intriguing as it is inviting, and that’s the way I like it!
When my husband and I bought our own home, we both knew that we want to give it a distinct look. We had a second honeymoon in the South and we both admired the stately mansions that we visited on our trip. That was when we both knew that this was the style we were looking for.
