Creating a “Eureka!” Moment in Your Home

Have you ever walked into someone’s home and immediately know something about them just by looking around their entryway or living room? Often times I check out the decor just because I love thinking about such things but usually the decor speaks for the homeowner. I want my own decor to tell a story of who I am and to inspire those who come into my home to use color and vibrancy to tell their own story. I want to give them a “Eureka!” moment.

Graham & Brown recently asked me to become a brand ambassador for them and I was super eager to agree. This company is based in England and offers absolutely STUNNING wallpaper. But they also offer paint and other home decor/accessory items. Each month Graham & Brown would like myself and several other home decor bloggers to write about a certain home decor trend. As you can tell, this month’s is “Eureka Trend”.

I thought I’d make a fun inspiration board to show an example of creating a Eureka moment in your home. The first space people see in most homes is the entry way, so we’re going to go with that room! I feel like this is the perfect place to introduce yourself and your family to guests. I want my home to say relax, come on in and be yourself, feel inspired and enjoy your time here.

How fantastic is this wallpaper and paint from Graham & Brown? The wallpaper is called Black & White Bursts and I love that it’s lively and still neutral. It definitely tells my guest we’re a fun family that you can relax around. I would hope it’s boldness inspires a Eureka moment!! The paint color is called Pendle Witch and it’s the perfect muddy black to accentuate the wallpaper.

I actually have this very entry table in my entryway. We scored it for a great deal. It’s a very heavy, large piece that grounds the space. Add in a couple natural elements like the fur pillow and the lovely Feather prints, also from Graham & Brown and the space really speaks to relaxation, fun, calm and beauty.
