00:00I wouldn't say function over form but function needs to come into play as well.
00:03You need to have a space that is not just beautiful but also functional because it's a home.
00:12Rule one, refine your colour palette and amp up the texture.
00:14Layering natural organic textures onto a warm earthy base palette
00:18adds so much more depth and richness to a space.
00:20I love a home that makes me want to walk in and run my hands over every surface
00:24and once it's installed feel comfortable to kick off your shoes and relax.
00:27It's your home not a museum and patina adds character.
00:30Rule two, lean in with bold shapes and sculptural forms.
00:33Oversized pieces add such a sense of cool effortless drama to a space.
00:37Don't be afraid to have fun.
00:38Rule three, prioritize natural wooden accents over metals where you can.
00:42We love to use carved wooden handles on our projects.
00:45Walnut feels like the cooler younger sister of bronze.
00:47It adds so much warmth but it's a less formal accent than bronze.
00:51It's refined but relaxed.
00:52Rule four, scrap spotlights in lieu of beautiful mood lighting.
00:55Gently illuminate your spaces with flush mount or directional lighting fixtures
00:59to add warmth and a sense of intentional moodiness to every corner of your home.
01:02This works very well with textured, limewashed or plastered walls
01:06because it accentuates their natural cloudy welcoming effect.
01:09Rule five, curate and collect on your travels and only buy pieces you love.
01:13If you love a piece, buy it.
01:14You won't regret it and you'll find a way to integrate it into your space.
01:17I love collecting pieces on my travels, accessories and vintage pieces of furniture.
01:21Adding those into your home gives so much more authentic,
01:24natural personality and character to a space.
01:26Essentially, if you love it, it's not out of place.
