Room by Room

Intuitive choices, objects that tell a story and some rules that can, and should, be broken, we share some of our "styling tricks", when we seek to give life to a house, and reveal the identity of who lives there.

From kitchen to headboard, a room-by-room view of everything that makes a house truly lived in.

Kitchen

WHAT MAKES A KITCHEN LOOK LIVED-IN AND NOT ASSEMBLED?

Things you actually use in the kitchen. I love a kitchen full of spices planted that become part of the décor.

---

WHAT KITCHEN ITEM WOULD YOU BUY FOR THE AESTHETIC EVEN IF YOU HARDLY USED IT?

Recipe books, I love having them in the kitchen, and since I don't cook, I don't use them, they would be aesthetic.

Breakfast

WHAT PIECE WOULD YOU USE EVERY DAY, EVEN IF IT WAS TOO SPECIAL FOR DAILY USE?

The most special dishes you have, I use all my favorites every day.

WHAT CHANGES THE BREAKFAST TABLE IN A HOME COMPLETELY?

A tray that organizes everything you put on your breakfast. It will completely change the look and organization of your table.

Living Room

WHAT PIECE DESERVES THE MOST INVESTMENT IN A ROOM?

I think furniture needs to be very comfortable, besides being just beautiful.

---

WHAT DO YOU FIND MOST DIFFICULT TO GET RIGHT: SCALE, COLOR OR COMPOSITION?

I have an easy time with color and composition, I admit. For me the most difficult by far is scale, I resort to Paula: my sister, who is an architect.

---

DO CUSHIONS NEED TO TALK TO EACH OTHER OR IS IT BETTER WHEN THEY SEEM TO HAVE COME FROM DIFFERENT PLACES?

They have to have something in common, it's very interesting you've made a collection in different places and managed to maintain the same thread with your own choice of style.

---

WHAT CAN'T BE MISSING IN A SOFA TO MAKE THE ROOM MORE COZY?

A blanket somewhere on the sofa, it can be on the arm, it can be on the foot, if it's an L-shaped sofa, it makes all the difference in terms of warmth.

Dining Room

WHAT MAKES A SET TABLE LOOK SPECIAL WITHOUT SEEMING TOO FORMAL?

I think all the details you put on the dinner table when you're receiving guests, then, from the utensil rests to the vase that goes on the table, individual things, miniatures, like salt and pepper shakers individual for each one.

---

WHICH SET TABLE RULE DO YOU THINK CAN BE BROKEN?

I break many rules of not being able to use American pattern with tablecloths, sousplats with American pattern. Looking much more at the visual of the décor of this table.

Office

WHAT DOES A GOOD BOOKCASE REVEAL ABOUT A PERSON?

Personal tastes and places where she has been

---

WHAT DO YOU LEAVE PROPOSITALLY VISIBLE ON A DESK?

A tray without anything, empty. I think it's very functional to help you with the things you sometimes have, are using or messing with.

---

PERFECT ORGANIZATION: HELPS OR TAKES AWAY PERSONALITY?

Helps, a lot, especially when we're talking about home office, where to be able to have attention on a certain topic, you need organization visual of your side as an ally.

Bedroom

WHAT CAN'T BE MISSING IN A BEDHEAD?

Lighting, a lamp, preferably, the same on both sides of the room, I like it very much, it's not a rule.

---

WHAT CHANGES A ROOM MOST: BED LINEN, LIGHTING OR ART?

I could say another aesthetic thing, but bed linen changes a room.

These are just a few of our founder's opinions: Marcela, a small glimpse of our perspective, choices, and unique way of looking at home.
