In today’s world, where social media often dictates what’s stylish—whether it’s home décor, fashion, books, or beyond—consumerism is at an all-time high. We’re constantly exposed to the latest trending “thing” at our fingertips, 24/7. It’s no wonder we often find ourselves wondering if we’re keeping up.
It feels like consumption and creative expression are deeply intertwined. But lately, we’ve found minimalism to be quite inspiring. We’re embracing a lifestyle of intention, and it’s one of our favourite things to take photos of.
Here’s some of our best advice when it comes to home décor and getting your space ready:
1. Start slow and small
2. Choose quality over quantity
3. Make a Yes/No pile
4. Look for alternatives (think second-hand, DIY, research other brands or repurposing)
5. Sleep on it
6. Less is best
7. Create one cozy spot where you actually want to drink your coffee
Our photos are taken with lifestyle and story in mind because we believe that’s what really helps a buyer fall in love with a home—the story it tells.
