Personalizing Your Space
“The difference between a stylish space and a deeply personal sanctuary is often found in the curated details.”
- Rory Everitt
The Art of the Collected Home
For discerning homeowners, a house should be more than just beautifully staged. It must tell your story. The difference between a stylish space and a deeply personal sanctuary is often found in the curated details. Your art, photographs, mementos and collections elevate a space by injecting personality. At Rory Everitt Design, we specialize in weaving these personal elements into the overall design, ensuring your space is sophisticated yet uniquely yours.
The goal is to display your life's memories without creating clutter. We achieve this through thoughtful editing and integration.
Collections and Mementos
We see travel souvenirs and personal collections not as trinkets, but as valuable design assets. Instead of scattering them, we create dedicated display moments. This could be an illuminated curio cabinet for delicate travel ceramics, or a custom bookshelf with integrated lighting that frames a lifetime of collected books and objects. This method celebrates the pieces, making them feel intentional and gallery-worthy.
A display of handmade teapot and cups is exalted with thoughtful lighting and grouping.
Art, Gallery Walls and Photography
Family photographs and personal artwork add warmth and emotional resonance. The key is in the presentation. Special artwork deserves to be strategically placed and well-lit for optimal viewing.
We often recommend a curated gallery wall using matching or complementary frames to create visual cohesion. This system allows you to mix abstract art with black-and-white family portraits for a polished, cohesive look. For residents just moving in, this is a powerful way to instantly embed their personality into a new, unfamiliar space.
Using the same frame and/or artistic medium helps bring cohesion to this selection of personal art.
