Sense of SIGHT
From the quality of light to the balance of color and the small details your eye lands on, what we see at home has a real effect on how we feel. Here I’ll share design inspiration, trusted sources, and simple ways to create spaces that feel beautiful, balanced, and easy to live in.
OLEILU Go-To Benjamin Moore Whites
Seapearl OC-19, Swiss Coffee OC-45, and Balboa Mist OC-27.
Consider: Are you drawn to warm, earthy tones or cooler neutrals?
Good Design Begins with Quality Lighting
Lighting is often one of the first things I consider when designing a home. A beautiful fixture can function like art—setting the tone for a room while also becoming part of its architecture.
Three OLEILU favorites:
The Urban Electric Company for lighting that feels rooted in tradition, but never stuck in the past.
Hennepin Made for locally made, hand-blown glass lighting right here in Minnesota.
Triple Seven Home for distinctive lighting at a range of price points.
Consider: How does the light in your home affect your energy throughout the day?
A Little More Green
There is something about walking into a beautiful plant shop that instantly makes me exhale. Bringing plants into your home is one of the easiest ways to add life, softness, and a connection to nature—especially in spaces that feel a little flat or overly polished.
For rooms with limited natural light, consider a snake plant, ZZ plant, or spider plant.
Consider: Where in your home could use a little more life?
