The Art of Living: How to Style a Home That Feels Like You
There’s something powerful about walking into a home and knowing instantly, that it belongs to someone. Not just because their mail is on the counter or there’s a dog bowl by the door. But because the space reflects their story. Their travels. Their taste. Their spirit.
At Harry and Kit, we believe that the most beautiful homes aren’t trend-driven or perfectly polished. They’re deeply personal. And styling your home isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about creating a space that supports, inspires, and surrounds you with meaning.
Welcome to the art of living. Where style meets soul.
Why Home Should Feel Like You
In the age of Instagram, it’s easy to get caught up in mimicking other people’s spaces. But just like fashion, interiors are most powerful when they’re an extension of who you are, not who you're trying to be.
Ask yourself:
- What colours make you feel calm? Energised? Creative?
- What textures do you gravitate toward? Raw linen, buttery leather, hand-thrown ceramic?
- Do you want your home to feel light and airy? Rich and moody? Earthy and grounded?
Your home is your most intimate canvas. Let’s paint it with pieces that mean something
Ways to Style a Home That Feels Authentically You
Start with What You Love
Instead of asking “What’s trending?” ask “What do I want to come home to?”
Build your space around:
- A treasured heirloom chair
- A handcrafted vase
- Artwork that makes you feel something
From there, everything else is supporting character.
Think in Layers, Not Rules
Great homes unfold in layers. Texture, tone, light, scent. The trick? Mixing old with new, soft with structured, sleek with rustic.
Try this combo:
- Natural timber table
- Vintage ceramic jug
- Crinkled linen runner
- Wild branches in a stone vase
It’s not about matching. It's about balancing.
Tell Your Story with Texture & Form
We respond emotionally to what we touch and see. The more sensory your space, the more lived-in and loved it feels.
Add dimension with:
- Woven throws
- Raw ceramics
- Embroidered cushions
- Iron candleholders
- Carved timber stools
Choose pieces that feel like they’ve had a past, or will be part of yours for years to come.
Curate, Don’t Crowd
Every room deserves room to breathe. That doesn’t mean minimalism, it means intentionality.
A well-styled home lets the eye rest, move, and return to what matters.
When we design homes that reflect who we are, not just how we want to appear, we create spaces that nourish us. Spaces that invite others in. Spaces that hold meaning beyond the Pinterest board.
At Harry and Kit, every piece we bring to our collection is chosen for one reason: to help you live beautifully and intentionally.
Whether you’re styling a whole home or refreshing a single shelf, we’re here to help you make it feel like you. Grounded, expressive, and unapologetically unique.
