Make your home easier to live in, not just nicer to look at

Hooks where you drop things. Light where you read. Storage where the mess happens.

Watch where the clutter lands for a week and put storage exactly there rather than where it looks neatest.

Function first. A house that works is more pleasant than a house that photographs well.
