When you think of the word “trend,” what comes to mind? Is it the regrettable fashion choices of yesteryear, fleeting musical sensations, or the transient allure of silly social media challenges? Here at Blissful Interiors, we see home trends come and go more quickly than you can DIY your own bathroom tiles. It’s tempting to succumb to the latest fads endorsed by design magazines and social media influencers, but will you really love that style a year from now? 10 years from now?
Undoubtedly, the Modern Farmhouse style with its rustic accents and open floor plans currently reigns supreme, but does it align with your personality and lifestyle? We absolutely enjoy indulging in HGTV binge sessions for inspiration every now and then, but the Blissful way of doing things is a bit different. Embracing a trend without considering its long-term resonance can lead to regret down the road, so our mission is to curate meaningful spaces with timeless appeal.
What characterizes our client-centered approach? We start with a two-hour in-home consultation, during which we’ll take a deep dive into your vision. We’ll ask questions like:
What functionality do you need from the space?
Who will be using the space?
What colors do you love? What colors are not your cup of tea?
How do you want to FEEL when you walk into the space?
The consultation is a critical part of our design process, so we urge you to reflect on these questions prior to your visit so we can truly capture the essence of what you would like to achieve through design.
Once we’ve completed the consultation, we’ll take the reins! Our design philosophy revolves around three core principles:
1. Customization is key
We reject the notion of one-size-fits-all design! Instead, we meticulously curate custom furniture and accessories, incorporating patterns, colors, and textures that are tailored to your lifestyle.
2. Embrace your home’s character
Every home has a unique personality and we want to showcase that—not turn it into a cookie cutter version of the current trends. For example, a project in Melrose saw us infusing contemporary flare into Tudor-style home while preserving its inherent charm. The client’s wish list included living room seating that placed the focus on the fireplace and piano rather than a TV.
3. Balance Timelessness with Freshness
Unlike fashion, where trends can be easily swapped out each season, quality interior pieces demand a more considered approach. For a timeless design that lasts for years, we strive to incorporate a mix of both contemporary and vintage-inspired pieces. A blend of multiple styles allows your living space to achieve a feel that is curated and authentic.
