Thoughtful notes from Carteret Coastal Home.

Look at the light

Spend a little time in each room at different points in the day. Notice the natural light, the lamp placement, and how the space feels when someone first walks in.

Give each room a purpose

A room is easier to imagine when its purpose is clear. Consider whether furniture placement helps people understand how the space can be used, and keep walkways comfortable.

Keep the details personal

Home should still feel like home. A favorite texture, a well-placed chair, or a simple arrangement can bring warmth without making a space feel crowded.
