Styling changed how she shops

Switching from Domino editor to stylist rewired her eye. A vase with too shiny a glaze, or an opening too tight for flowers, never makes it onto set.

“if the glazed ceramic vase is too shiny, it will never photograph well”

Bud vases that read neutral

The Pierce & Ward collab vases hold short or tall stems and stay quiet without falling back on black, white, or beige. She bought a set for herself after a shoot.

Low woven bowls do everything

A shallow bamboo bowl breaks up a grid of books on a coffee table or pairs with a lamp on an entry table. Cheap flexibility for any surface.

“Low baskets and low bowls are a stylist's best friend.”

One candle holder, three jobs

A sculptural taper holder adds old world romance, height to pull the eye up, and natural texture. Swap the candle color and it feels new again.

Baskets rescue open shelving

Wall-to-wall shelves are exhausting to fill. Baskets absorb the empty stretches and give the eye somewhere to rest instead of reading as clutter.

Glass and trays with presence

Blocky-footed wood trays let light travel underneath. On open kitchen shelves, skip crystal clear glass and pick tinted, chunky recycled glassware that won't disappear.
