Keep your place tidy and make sure all your hangers match.» — Janice Erlacher
Buying only to match
«Buy things you like rather than buying just to match. Take the time to get to know the space you live in. And there are a lot of things you should consider not doing when filling a new apartment or house with decorative elements and furniture. Find what works and feels right for you.» — Mariana
Trying to be perfect
«Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Avoid mass-produced items and cheaply made plastics as much as possible. Go for handmade, locally sourced, or vintage items instead. Get what you need to live comfortably, and then take your time to really curate the rest — even if it takes you years, like it has for me!» — Matt Anderson and Jessica Cumberbatch Anderson
«Don’t rush things. There are plenty of things to think about doing when decorating your home. My biggest DIY meltdown resulted from having to re-paint the office desk (an Ikea hack) three times. In retrospect, the first coat of paint was just fine.» — Esther Hahn, Brendan Cooney
Mass-produced decor (when possible)
«Be conscious of where your furnishings are coming from.
