My favorite part about dissecting interiors photos is the styling. I could spend hours studying the techniques and making notes for future reference. I figured this would make a great new blog series, called, The Stylist’s Eye, pointing out what my eye notices and now rather than having tear sheets all over my desk and desktop, I can post them here for easier access.
When coming across Interior Design firm, Jute, it was their laid-back, no fuss approach that had me eager to get styling on my next project.
These photos feel as if the person just left or entered the room. But I know the angle of every single item was strategically placed.
This image below displays a different angle of the same room, showing napkins instead of a book and recipe box. And notice how the pillows have been moved?
These shoes just casually fell to the floor. That’s what we want you to think. I pulled this trick too. Here.
Again, a different angle of the same room. Check out some differences.
Cool, right?
Happy Wednesday!

I love this series already! Something else I noticed was that in pretty much every picture the light is on, which also seems to imply that someone has just come home, flicked on the light, and kicked their shoes off after a long day! Fun to try and figure out what the stylist is hoping to get across! xo
Yes! I noticed that too and was bummed I didn’t mention it after the post when live. Doh! Glad you’re enjoying this new series already. Thanks for stopping by.
Totally in love with this new series idea! I love getting to delve into the mind of a stylist (c;
I love this new series! Styling makes such a difference. Love your blog!
Good eye and great series!
What fun this is going to be! Really enjoyed this post Irene. It takes some thought and some work to make a styled room look so casual. I like seeing how the styling is changed up for another perspective on the room. I wouldn’t have thought to do that.
Wow! Great post. I’ve tried this before, but I need to work on making it look a little more natural. I never thought about changing the position of items based on the angle of the photo. Great tips and good eye.
I’m totally blind in my stylist’s eye. That’s why I need people like you in my life!
You always point out what I don’t even notice! But those touches really make the space feel real and lived in. I’ll be looking for your touches! Wink wink
I’m tagging these pics for styling education. I’m the worst stylist! :-/
