Turning a house into a home is more than just design—it’s about creating a space that feels uniquely yours. From my perspective as the owner of an interior design company, I achieve this transformation in four key ways:
- Building Selections
When a client purchases a builder-grade home and wants to add their own personality to it, the first thing we do is ask them how they want to feel in the home. This helps us lay a foundation. For instance, if they want to feel warm and cozy in their living room, we know to proceed with warm tones for flooring, paint colors, and other elements. This personalized approach ensures that the space truly reflects their desired atmosphere.
The foundation of any home design starts with the building selections. I carefully choose materials, finishes, and fixtures that reflect your style and meet your functional needs. Whether it’s selecting the perfect hardwood floors, choosing custom cabinetry, or picking out tiles for the kitchen backsplash, these choices set the tone for your entire home.
- Furniture
At Linden Creek, we select furniture that looks beautiful and is also kid and pet-friendly. I have tested many pieces and honed in on those that stand the test of time. Our furniture selections look stunning, offer comfort, and withstand daily life, so your kids can eat popcorn on the sofa and you can cuddle with your dog without worrying about wear and tear.
- Decor
One thing we love to do is blend your sentimental items with new decor. For example, the candlesticks that have been in your family for generations will tie in beautifully with the new vase we’ve chosen for your dining room. It’s all about creating a space that holds personal value and tells your unique story. This thoughtful mix makes your home truly special and meaningful.
- The Little Details and Nuances
It’s the little details that truly make a house feel like a home. When our team completes a design, we go a step further to personalize your space. From framing your kids’ art projects and hanging your wedding portraits to leaving your pantry stocked and flower vases full, our goal is to make your space feel like home from the moment you step in. We pay attention to the nuances that match your lifestyle, ensuring that every corner of your home feels like it was made just for you.
Creating a home is about more than just design; it’s about capturing the essence of who you are and translating that into your living space. By focusing on these four key areas, I strive to make every house feel like a warm, inviting, and uniquely personal home.
