Hey friend!
Have you heard the trending phrase on social media "demure and mindful?" It's popping up everywhere and even my 13 year old son has taken notice (and he doesn't have social media). So it got me wondering...what in the world is everyone talking about?
As I looked into 'demure' and what it meant versus what I thought it meant, I also noticed that there's a very similar word with quite the opposite meaning: 'demur.' If creating a home that is demure is your goal, you don't want to get the two confused. :)
In today's episode I'm sharing 8 ways that your home can look and feel demure without it feeling like a pretentious museum room.
If you're wanting to create a demure look and feel in your home, you can start with these 8 things:
1. Create a calm color palette: 50 shades of white anyone? If you must have a 'pop' of color - try oatmeal or mushroom.
2. Use light wood tones: white oak or natural immediately come to mind. Don't have that? Try a painting technique instead of throwing out your cherry entryway table.
3. Brass or Champagne gold metals. The goal here is minimal contrast - so avoid bronze, flat matte black at all costs.
4. Remove the chaos, the clutter, the extras...on EVERY surface. Demure homes resemble minimal homes.
5. Quality of furniture matters, but not in a flashy way. Demure homes are quiet and respectful - not pretentious.
6. Consider the weight of objects in your home. Demure homes are opposite of heavy - they're light and airy.
7. The scent matters: choose subtle scents with no dominant identifiers that indicate what it is. No pumpkin spice, lavender, even vanilla. The more benign, but delicious, the better.
8. Consider the background sound as well as the scent. Demure homes are not loud, flashy or calling attention to themselves. Turn down Alexa playing the latest Jellyroll song (not my style anyway) and opt for instrumental playing at a volume 2 - audible, but only as a faint whisper.
