Everyday Objects, Thoughtfully Chosen

Choosing fewer, better things

The objects we keep within reach — a mug, a lamp, a bowl on the counter — shape a room as much as any piece of furniture. Chosen carelessly, they add noise. Chosen with intention, they add warmth.

We encourage clients to slow down on the small purchases, not just the large ones. A well-made everyday object, used daily, does more for a home than an expensive piece kept for special occasions.

Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.

— William Morris

A question worth asking

Before bringing something new into your home, ask whether you’d be glad to see it every day for the next ten years.
