Work to create an emotional experience
According to legendary interior designer John Saladino, your home’s interior should provide an emotional experience for every guest that steps into your home.
“When you see a room for the first time, your blood pressure should go up. I like to create an emotional experience. A well-designed space doesn’t give out its secrets right away. It should never bore you or feel dated,” he told Elle Decor.
Creating a truly compelling look is rather simple—just work to make every room a mixture of completely unique antique items and simple staples.
