A home may be designed and built to suit a purpose, but it is the choice of furnishing and decoration that reveals its owner’s tastes, preferences and personality.

At their most intimate, the combination of decorative elements may even reveal a facet of the homeowner’s character, where the choices influenced by experiences.
