Lack of Style with Anna Lobell
Interior designer, Anna Lobell, gives her insight on how to embrace your personal style by creating a space for yourself and an environment that will support and uplift you. The importance of knowing yourself and the courage to express yourself. Avoiding trends (like an all white room with a single cactus). The importance of being comfortable and happy in your space. Understanding compromise and purpose, and letting the space speak to you to tell you what it needs. Not designing for 5-10 years down the road (you and your taste will likely change); design for right now. BS overthinking. Design should be about what makes you happy—do it for you, not for anyone else (or collecting "likes"). The adage "How you do one thing is how you do everything" is pretty true. Declutter, clean or paint if you need a change but are on a budget. As within, so without—if you don't have time to see to your space, you don't have time to see to your inner-space. Spiritual housecleaning is a thing (and it's ancient). Add in things/colors that you love, even if it starts with a pillow. Acceptance of who you are and what you love. Enjoy your home. Allow what's functional. Create a supportive environment. Don't be paralyzed by indecision. Give yourself permission to love what you love. Ask yourself questions: what's your favorite color/texture/scent/flavor. Develop somatic intelligence. Expose yourself to the arts. BOOK REC: THE ART OF LOOKING by Lance Esplund. Allow yourself to really take things in. ApartmentTherapy.com to see examples of a range of styles. Look at other people's styles/design to see what turns you on. Trial and error. Energy flows where attention goes. Go for it and be honest with yourself. Don't be afraid to make yourself happy. Don't let others block your happiness. Famous last words: ...and then I'll be happy.
