HOW TO... CURATE YOUR SPACE

YOUR HOME IS MORE THAN JUST A PLACE TO LIVE, IT’ S AN EXPRESSION OF WHO YOU ARE. CURATING YOUR SPACE MEANS INTENTIONALLY SELECTING AND ARRANGING ELEMENTS THAT SPEAK TO YOUR STYLE, SUPPORT YOUR LIFESTYLE AND BRING JOY TO YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE. WHETHER YOU’ RE STARTING FRESH OR FINE-TUNING AN EXISTING INTERIOR, THESE TIPS WILL HELP YOU SHAPE A HOME THAT FEELS CONSIDERED, COHESIVE AND COMPLETELY YOURS.
1. START WITH A MOOD BOARD A mood board helps clarify your aesthetic direction. Collect images, fabrics, colours and textures that inspire you. Online platforms like Pinterest are useful, but don’ t underestimate the power of physical samples and magazine cuttings.
2. DEFINE YOUR COLOUR PALETTE A carefully chosen colour palette creates harmony throughout your home. Kent’ s soft, natural light lends itself beautifully to earthy neutrals, muted pastels and deep forest greens. Don’ t be afraid to use bolder tones as accents.
3. MIX OLD WITH NEW Blending vintage and contemporary pieces gives your home depth and personality. Think: a mid-century sideboard with a modern lamp, or antique mirrors paired with clean-lined furniture.
