The Layered Home

The design influencer behind the Instagram handle A Spoonful of Benjamin presents an aspirational guide to transforming your living spaces into vibrant and cozy havens.

"If you choose one playbook rule, let this be your guide: Layers plus personalization create absolute spatial magic. Nothing else comes close." –from the Introduction 

To magazine editor and stylist Benjamin Reynaert, more is more when it comes to the home. The more patterns and colors combined, the more preloved pieces scooped up at the right time, the more surfaces to display treasured objects, the more a house will feel like home. Layers are key to achieving this maximalist alchemy. It's not a look that can be bought all at once, but one developed over time, leisurely and with intention, as you stay mindful of your space’s personality. Most of all, layering a home requires listening to and respecting your own instincts and taste.
