With a little help from Hem: the styling ABCs
We craft imaginative pieces that seamlessly integrate with your space and taste. Styling your Hem pieces effectively can transform your home into your sanctuary of luxury and comfort. Here are some of our expert tips to help you master the art of styling furniture.
How to start:
If you’re overwhelmed with all of the options, start with embracing neutral and light tones. Opt for moderate color palettes such as ivory, beige, taupe, or charcoal. Light furniture helps create a positive mood and often boasts contemporary silhouettes. They will not only create a sense of spaciousness but also serve as the perfect backdrop for showcasing the beauty of your showstopper pieces, as well as your personal accessories.
Add layers:
Mix and layer materials for depth and visual interest. Incorporating various textures through different textiles, lighting, and accessories will help add depth to your space. For example, you can pair a warm, plush couch with a sleek, cooler metal coffee table or accessorize with a fuzzy throw draped over the arm of a leather armchair. Mixing materials of different visual temperatures will add a visually pleasing dimension to your interior.
Play with contrasts:
Contrasts are key. Balance your sofa’s clean lines or rounded edges with oversized, fluffy pillows in rich tones or fun patterns. Similarly, juxtapose the smooth surfaces of light wooden furniture with more rugged, deeper elements like a woven rug or a bold leather ottoman. These contrasts add character and personality to your space while highlighting the distinctiveness of each furniture piece. No spot in your living space will feel boring, and every corner will have something appealing to observe.
Accessorize attentively:
Accessories are the final touches that complete and round off your decor. Choose items that reflect your character and add a touch of attention to your interior. From sculptural vases, and metallic accents to floor lamps or extra wall lighting, even the smallest thing will add a layer of story to your interior journey. Remember to select wisely to avoid cluttering your space and detracting from the beauty of all the pieces you want in focus.
Show off:
Make a bold statement by incorporating striking, one-of-a-kind, or vintage pieces into your decor that still complement your room’s overall feel. Whether it’s a larger-scale piece above the sofa or a curated collection of trinkets, art can serve as a focal point that ties the entire room together. Our Hem X limited edition pieces are perfect for giving any space that iconic assertion. Most importantly, have fun with it! Go on the hunt for vintage pieces that resonate with your personality. Your personal selection of items will always make for an interesting collection regardless of your taste, because it’s authentically you.
