Why nobody’s home in shelter magazines

Those perfect rooms are staged by professional editors and photographers

Do you ever wonder why there are no people in those perfect rooms in glossy shelter magazines? It’s because people would detract from the perfectly curated furnishings designed to make you green with envy. Resist the impulse to go out and duplicate those rooms. You can’t. Because people are the unknown X factor in those rooms. Yes you, dear people, are part of the environment. Take it from a professional interior designer. If you can’t put yourself in the equation, guess what? There is no equation. End of story.
