Unlocking the Power of Interior Styling
When it comes to transforming a house into a home, interior styling is where the magic truly happens. At JH Interior Design in Omaha, Nebraska, we understand that styling is about more than just choosing beautiful decor—it’s about telling a story, creating harmony, and elevating your space to its fullest potential.
We recently sat down with Interior Designer Dana Wear to delve into her philosophy on styling. Her insights reveal just how impactful this final layer of design can be in shaping a space that feels both polished and personal.
Embracing Bold Choices in Small Doses
“For those who are a bit afraid of bold design, styling is an opportunity to try new or brave colors, patterns, styles, etc.,” Dana shares.
Not everyone is ready to commit to emerald green cabinetry or walls covered in chinoiserie wallpaper—and that’s okay! Styling offers the perfect avenue for experimentation. Whether it’s a statement pillow, an eye-catching vase, or a striking lamp, these smaller elements can inject personality into your home without overwhelming the space.
A Nod to Sentimentality
Dana believes that styling isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about weaving the homeowner’s story into the design. “Styling is also an opportunity to incorporate pieces that hold sentimental value for the client,” she explains. “In doing so, we can make the house truly their house rather than just a staged space.”
At JH Interior Design, we love working with clients to find meaningful ways to display heirlooms, collectibles, or mementos, blending them seamlessly into the overall design. These personal touches transform a house into a home and spark joy every time you enter the room.
Elevating the Essentials
While foundational elements like tile, carpet, and woodwork lay the groundwork for a beautiful home, styling takes it a step further.
“Styling is an opportunity to elevate the finishes of a space,” Dana notes. “On their own, tile, carpet, woodwork, etc., can all be beautiful, but add the right furnishings, art, and decor, and now you have a room that feels complete, well put together, and simply next level!”
Thoughtful styling turns a beautiful room into a stunning one. It’s the secret ingredient that makes a space feel cohesive, intentional and undeniably luxurious.
The Art of Curating
One common challenge for many homeowners is deciding what stays and what goes after a big move or renovation. Dana understands this dilemma well. “I have lots of clients who ask me what furnishings and decor to keep and what to get rid of after either lots of time in a house or after moving to a new space,” she says. “Some pieces have a timeless quality to them that allow them to fit well into a new space or into an eclectic design plan, and other pieces simply have to go.”
At JH Interior Design, we guide clients through this process, ensuring that every piece in their home serves a purpose—whether it’s functional, sentimental or purely aesthetic.
