Style like a stylist
So often we see a stunning setting in a magazine and think wow. Interior stylist and blogger, Hayley Little of @mumlittleloves, shows us how it’s done as she styles our Armand Library Shelving Unit — Hamptons style! — choc full of Early Settler goodies and decor.
7 easy steps
1
Gather your goodies
Collect all the books and items you want to display, wipe away any dust and group them into categories, such as kids’ trophies, photos and books.
2
By the book
Stack your books in small clusters — some vertically and some horizontally. You could group them by topic, such as travel books, memoirs, or by colour.
4
Pop in your peeps
Pick out your favourite family photos and put them on display. Nothing makes a house a home like personalising it with your loved ones and memories.
5
Trinkets & treasures
Bring the bling with some metallic glints or personal treasures and trophies. For special keepsakes, like trinkets from your wedding, you could have a decorative box.
6
Colour & quirk
Add those special items that are uniquely you and the family, like a framed drawing from your child, a seashell from a beach holiday or your favourite scented candle.
7
Snazzy storage solutions
Keep things organised and in easy reach with some baskets and boxes. The Armand also has generous cupboard storage to stash away the toys and extra cushions.
Voilà!
