A WELL-CURATED STORY WITHAric Yeakey & Jared HeinrichThe longtime friends and founders of Love House (the eclectic Greenpoint design showroom) share their best decorating tips, sourcing secrets and style essentials.

“The best part about design is you can be as experimental or as safe as you want. Trust your eye.”

What makes a well-curated home, according to the design duo1. Mixing old with new.2. Enhancing existing character.3. Having various lighting sources to warm up a room.4. Personally meaningful decor from travels and pieces that speak to you. 5. Proportions of furniture, objects and art in relation to how the eye travels around the room.

“Occasionally we get attached to pieces that come through the showroom and have to say goodbye. It’s always a little heartbreaking.”

“Keep an eye out for special pieces at auctions. Research different eras of furniture and see what speaks to you stylistically. We love mixing pieces from all eras of design.”
