Decorate for the feeling
When you remember a room you loved, you rarely remember the sofa. You remember how it felt to be there.
Most decor advice starts with furniture and trends. Living With Aura starts with mood: the feeling you want when you walk through your door, and what light, color and texture can do to create it.
That’s why our ideas are sorted into four auras rather than by room. Each one gives you a palette, a shoppable room and practical steps you can use in the home you already have.
What we believe
Light comes first
The same room can feel like four different places depending on its light, so we think about lamps and windows before furniture.
Borrow freely
Nobody needs to copy a whole room. Take a color, a lamp or an idea, and leave the rest.
Fewer, better things
A room usually improves when something leaves. We’d rather you buy one piece you love than ten you don’t.
About our rooms and links
The rooms on this site are design concepts, created to show what each mood can look like. They aren’t photographs of specific homes, and the products we link to are chosen because they’re similar in spirit, so they won’t always be an exact match for what you see.
Some links earn us a commission. Read our disclosure for the details.
