Curation, personality, and individuality
are increasingly valued traits in design, whether in interiors, fashion, or graphic design. The trend is moving away from rigid, standardized concepts and leaning towards more personalized approaches. Shelves that display items reflecting the resident’s character—such as travel
mementos, collectible books, and distinctive decorative pieces—become focal points in living rooms and workspaces.
How to create a cohesive gallery?
To create a personalized yet harmonious arrangement, a few key guidelines can be followed:
Objects of varying sizes:
To create greater visual interest, mix larger, standout pieces—such as lamps,
vases, and frames—with smaller items like candles and keepsakes.
Focal points:
They create visual interest and act as guides, evenly distributed, ensuring that
even in a “planned chaos,” everything feels intentional.
Color palette:
Despite a variety of items, it’s essential to stick to a cohesive color palette, whether
more vibrant or neutral, depending on personal preference and the room’s style.
