Scenes from Home: Signature Style Home Decor Pieces

It appears my blog posts this month have a scenes from home refreshed theme going, and I can’t think of a more Louisiana centric topic of conversation than interior design and signature style home decor pieces associated with the interiors of homes in the New Orleans Garden District.

After all, home is where the heart is.

Distinctive details and visual contrast along with signature style home decor pieces uniquely characterize the charm of New Orleans.

Creative leeway, contrast, varied price points, and brilliant juxtaposition work in unison with signature style home decor pieces to represent the decorating styles expressly associated with period homes and signature NOLA style.

When I take a visual inventory of the curated style in my own home and the home decor pieces featured in this post, I’m reminded of the spaghetti sauce ad from campaigns past that proclaims, “it’s in there!”

Over the years, pieces that detail and define our rich and eclectic Louisiana history, inspired charm, varied provenance, and distinctive architectural elements have found a home within our home.

Contemporary spot pieces such as a small gold accent table(s) elegantly lends a modern twist to a predominately classic interior.

“There are two things that make a room timeless: a sense
of history and a piece of the future.”

— Charlotte Moss

Spot on in size and style, the accent table is perhaps the most genius of home decor pieces.
