I don't believe in "styling" your entire home. For me, there are simply too many surfaces that have a big job to do (coffee tables to hold up feet and drinks, entry tables laden with keys and mail, bookshelves filled with--gasp!--books), and while I love the pretty look of a surface that has been carefully styled, it's just not always realistic.
There: I said it.
But there ARE opportunities for styling. The top of the dresser in a little-used guest room is a perfect example.
Statement lamp, layered art (large hung, small propped), a stack of boxes to create another vertical, a bowl to soften the edges, and a little frame covered in bits and pieces for that sculptural quality.
Oh, and my early-morning reflection in the artwork for good measure.
Tell me: to style, or not to style?
