Because you deserve a home that feels real, welcoming, and tactile. Let’s design an intentional home with Hawkins New York!
Tips for Designing an Intentional Home
Intentionality does not have space for absolute perfection. Instead, intention often rests with what you personally find fulfilling and enjoyable. What you gravitate towards will help you define what intentional in your own spaces. So we recommend starting there: with what you love and what calls to you. After that, follow the below to build a home that feels authentic and serves your daily routine.
- Choose what’s useful. This is as simple as decluttering gadgets and furniture that never sees the light of day. Remove the extraneous and return to just the item and pieces that work within your home and daily movements. That way, everything has a purpose, everything is there for a clear reason and makes sense.
- Hide wires and electronics. Though this might seem like a strange suggestion, if you think about it, it makes sense. A thrown together room often means the tiniest details, like how to cleverly hide away cords, aren’t considered. We recommend sourcing storage, working with a contractor, and purchasing clips, ties, and other tools to hide those cords and make the placement and styling of electronics look like you thought it through.
- Don’t forget the details. Décor and ornaments serve a very real function in your home; they make it feel lived in. And when you’re designing an intentional space, you want it to be welcoming. We recommend bringing in décor, throw pillows, art, and layered lighting to add depth and create environments with atmosphere that invite you in. Even the most minimalistic and Scandinavian of spaces needs knickknacks and décor to fill out the look. Keep it minimal if you must, but don’t forget the details!
