Interior designer Louise Hane’s formula for spaces that give back
By Louise Hane
The holiday season is usually about what we give to others, but our homes can be generous as well. A room can offer comfort, energy, confidence, and a sense of belonging. Here are a few gifts rooms can give and ways your own home can do the same.
- Rest: The antique French toile upholstered bed, layered in blue and white bedding, creates a truly peaceful escape. Notice which colors and textures naturally settle you and build around them.
- Inspiration: The bold artwork, geometric mirrors, and vintage floral draperies bring color, movement, and an interesting personality to the room. Surround yourself with pieces that spark your imagination and make you see things differently.
- Perspective: The equestrian gallery wall is a sentimental collection over 40 years in the making and captures attention. Buy and display what matters to you knowing that a great collection is built over a lot of time.
- Confidence: Toile, florals, leopard, wicker, a bold wall color, and antiques happily share this space. Trust what you love.
- Joy: “Bob” peeking from the corner contributes personality, conversation, and fun. Hunt for pieces that make you laugh an invite guests to laugh with you.
The most meaningful homes give something back. They restore us, make us happy, hold our memories, and welcome us just as we are.
