For the past few years, the world of interior design has been dominated by minimalism and the "clean girl aesthetic" - neutral tones, sleek lines, and carefully curated big-box furniture. While there's no denying the appeal of these spaces, they can sometimes lack the individuality and personality that make a home truly yours.
At So So Spiffy, we believe it's time for a change. It's time to ditch the cookie-cutter trends and embrace a new philosophy: It's In to be out. Out with conformity, out with mass-produced decor, and in with spaces that reflect you- your personality, your tastes, and your lifestyle.
Why It's Time to Break Free from Trends
Trends come and go, but your home should be a reflection of who you are and how you live. Big-box furnishings might look great in a magazine spread, but they often lack the soul and character that comes from mixing things up. After all, a home isn't just a showroom- it's a living, breathing space where your memories are made, your personality shines through, and your unique style can flourish.
When you create a home that reflects you, it becomes an extension of your individuality. Maybe you love bold patterns and rich textures. Maybe your style is eclectic, with a love for mid-century modern furniture paired with boho accents. Or perhaps your home is a blend of new and old, with vintage pieces sitting comfortably next to contemporary designs. Whatever your style, the key is to design a space that feels authentic and true to who you are.
Mixing Patterns, Textures, and Time Periods
One of the things we love to do at So So Spiffy is mix patterns, textures, time periods, and design styles. We believe this is where true creativity lies- by blending seemingly contrasting elements, you create a look that feels rich, layered, and full of personality. Imagine pairing a sleek, modern sofa with a handwoven Moroccan rug, or adding an antique wood coffee table to a room full of contemporary furnishings. It's this kind of mix that makes a space feel curated, not contrived.
We source from all over the world, finding pieces that tell a story and bring something unique to the table. Whether it's a vibrant piece of art from a local artisan, a bold patterned throw from a flea market in New York, or a vintage chair discovered at an auction, we're always on the lookout for items that will help you break free from the ordinary and create a home that feels distinctly yours.
How to Create a Home That Reflects You
So, how do you create a space that's a true reflection of who you are? Start by embracing the things you love. Don't be afraid to take risks and combine elements that not seem to "go together" at first glance. That quirky lamp you picked up at an estate sale might look incredible next to your modern sideboard. Or maybe that bold, patterned wallpaper you've been eyeing will serve as the perfect backdrop for your minimalist furniture.
Your home should tell your story. Think about the colors, textures, and objects that speak to you, and use them to craft a space that's uniquely yours. It's about finding the right balance - combining the old and the new, the bold and the subtle, the eclectic and the classic. In doing so, you'll create a home that's not just stylish, but deeply personal.
It's In to Be Out
At So So Spiffy, we're here to encourage you to step outside the box. It's time to embrace individuality, let go of the "clean girl aesthetic", and bring back personality into our homes. Whether you're drawn to mixing vintage and modern, or you love experimenting with texture and patterns, remember that your home is your canvas. There are no rules except the ones you make for yourself.
So go ahead- make your space a true reflection of you; because these days, it's in to be out.
