With a little help from Hem: the styling ABCs
We craft pieces that are imaginative, but that can also seamlessly integrate with your spaces 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 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 or art, as well as your personal accessories.
Add layers:
Mix and layer materials for depth and visual interest: Incorporating various textures through different textiles, metals, leathers, lighting, and accessories, will help to 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 fury and fuzzy throw draped over the arms of a leather armchair. Mixing materials of different visual temperatures will add a visually pleasing dimension to your interiors.
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 interiors. From sculptural vases, and metallic accents to floor lamps or extra wall lighting, even the smallest little 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 pieces into your decor or vintage pieces that still complement your room’s palette. Whether it’s a larger-scale piece above the sofa or more of a gallery wall feature of 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 an iconic assertion.
Additionally, go on the hunt for those vintage pieces that resonate with your personality and that you always loved. Your personal collection of items will always make for an interesting collection, regardless of your taste, because it’s authentically you.
