How To Find Your Home Aesthetic
Decorating a home can be a daunting task, especially if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for. To avoid overbuying random pieces or spiraling into the depths of Pinterest, choose a home aesthetic that encapsulates the home you want.
Just because one of your favorite influencers or friends has a perfectly decorated home doesn’t mean that their choice of home décor is perfect for you. Finding your own personal home aesthetic is important to creating a space that’s tailored to you! When it comes to furniture choices, wall art, specific greenery or flowers, as well as bedding, throw pillows, and rugs, there are so many decisions to be made. And while it can be fun to randomly select pieces that you love without thinking about the overall look of the room, it's not always the best for creating a cohesive space.
To help with this, scroll through Pinterest and Instagram to find reference pictures that match the style you like best, and then build your décor from there. Knowing what rooms have the best natural light can also help with the development of your home décor. Another aspect to think about is storage. If you need a lot of storage space, your décor needs to be functional and cute.
Wondering what home décor aesthetic is best for you? Here’s a list of a few popular aesthetics and how to style them!
Coastal Grandmother
You may have heard of the coastal grandmother aesthetic for style and beauty, but the home décor aesthetic is equally classy and beachy. And no, it doesn’t mean nautical-themed décor!
The key aspects of the aesthetic are simple, modern, and light. The base of the home is white, and then you slowly introduce soft shades into the décor, without too many splashes of color. The emphasis on calming colors, shapes, and pieces is a major aspect of the aesthetic, so the décor you choose will need to fit into those categories.
Relaxed and elevated, the neutral colors of the coastal grandmother aesthetic will instantly transform any space. Maybe you just need a new paint color for one room or want to transform a random closet. Keep the patterns minimal and the fabrics as natural as possible.
