Interior designers frequently say our homes should be a reflection of us, but what does that actually look like in practice? We're complex individuals, never just one thing, and our homes should tell that same nuanced story. That's precisely why I've always championed the high-low approach: pairing high street finds with designer pieces, blending brand new items with cherished vintage treasures, and combining dynamic patterns with textured plains.
