"It's no interior styling secret: Once upon a time, designers believed that good interior photography meant stripped-down rooms devoid of personality. The fewer personal touches in a room, the better, so that designers could highlight their work and provide a blank canvas on which potential clients could project their own lifestyles and aspirations. No more. Today's editorial preferences and social media feeds call for a lived-in sensibility-signs of life that turn a house into a home."
""The most interesting interiors are the ones where you get a strong sense that the space belongs to actual human beings with a point of view," says stylist Michael Reynolds, who has lent his touch to many AD-featured homes. "Having someone who can visually interpret the space-that is seismic." But even just knowing the tricks of the trade can help you score big points with editors and clients alike."
Design trends shifted from stripped-down, impersonal rooms toward spaces that display personal touches and signs of life. Minimal compositions once aimed to showcase designers' work and offer blank canvases for client projection. Contemporary editorial and social media aesthetics favor a lived-in sensibility that transforms houses into homes. A stylist who can make a space feel unique and authentic to the homeowner adds significant value. The most compelling interiors convey that the space belongs to actual human beings with a point of view. Familiarity with styling techniques improves appeal to editors and clients and elevates compositions.
