Today while scrolling social media, I stumbled across a post from a well-known interior decorating brand. The headline? “5 Trends Top Designers Are Secretly Ditching—And Why You Should Too.” Naturally, I clicked. I love interior design and am always curious about what's trending (and what isn’t).
While I agreed with many of the points, the article confirmed something I’ve always believed: a home shouldn’t follow trends—it should reflect the unique way you and your family have been created.
Your home should do more than look beautiful—it should feel like you. Every corner, color, and curated detail tells a story. At Bloom Haus, I believe in designing homes with intention—spaces that reflect not just trends, but the heartbeat of the people who live there.
Whether you're refreshing your space or starting from scratch, here’s how to approach home design with meaning and mindfulness.
1. Start with Purpose
Intentional design begins with clarity. Ask yourself:
-
How do I want this space to feel?
-
Who uses this space, and how do they live in it?
-
What are my favorite features of the space?
Whether it’s a peaceful retreat, a vibrant gathering space, or a cozy family hub, defining your why will guide every decision.
2. Curate, Don’t Just Decorate
Designing with intention means choosing pieces with meaning—not just filling a room with things.
-
Incorporate heirlooms, travel finds, or handmade goods.
-
Choose art and accents that spark memories or joy.
-
Let function and beauty work hand in hand.
I love mixing homemade art, family treasures, or thrifted finds into my spaces. I care more about how something makes me feel than whether it’s on-trend. A curated space tells a story—and invites others into it.
3. Create a Flow That Supports Your Lifestyle
Design isn’t just about how a space looks—it’s about how it works.
-
Map how you naturally move through your home.
-
Revisit storage solutions that may need updating.
-
Design around your rhythms: morning light for your coffee nook, soft textures where you unwind.
Whenever our home feels cluttered, it’s usually one of two things: we've brought in too much, or our current storage solutions aren’t working anymore. A home should support your life—not overwhelm it.
4. Embrace Your Signature Style
Trends fade, but your personal style is timeless.
-
Identify the colors, textures, and materials that make you feel at home.
-
Blend old with new, minimal with cozy.
-
Layer in your story through scent, texture, and collected treasures.
At Bloom Haus, I believe every home deserves a signature—yours. When I lean into trends, I do so in ways that can easily be updated. For lasting elements, I focus on how I want my family to feel in the space—not what’s trending online.
5. Infuse the Senses
Intentional design delights all five senses.
-
Scent: Natural candles (like our seasonal Bloom Haus collection) set the mood.
-
Sound: Calming playlists, soft textiles, and quiet corners make a difference.
-
Touch: Use tactile materials—linen, wood, leather, clay.
-
Sight: Layer in lighting, texture, and art to draw the eye and ground the space.
This is my sweet spot. A home becomes memorable when you design with the senses in mind—especially for the people who live there.
Your Home, Your Story
Intentional design isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. Your home should reflect your journey, your joys, your roots, and your dreams. When you design with intention, you don’t just fill a space—you flourish in it.
