What Is a Homestory?

Designing your home to feel like you.

You’ve probably seen it before—those perfectly styled homes on Pinterest or Instagram. They’re beautiful, sure. But do they feel personal? Do they tell your story?

At Dwelling Place Interiors, we believe great design starts with listening. Not just to trends or “what’s in,” but to you—your values, your vision, your everyday rhythms.
We don’t have a one-size-fits-all aesthetic. We don’t copy and paste a signature look from client to client. Instead, we approach design like storytelling—because your home should be a reflection of you, not us.

We call this approach Homestory. And it’s the heart of everything we do.


What Is a Homestory?

Your Homestory is the blend of your passions, your purpose, and our design expertise—all woven into a home that feels beautifully authentic.

It’s how we turn:

  • A Pinterest board into something livable and lasting.
  • Travel memories into meaningful color palettes.
  • Your love for family dinners into the flow of your kitchen.
  • A favorite chair or heirloom into the soul of a room.

A Homestory isn’t just about style—it’s about substance. It’s not just what looks good. It’s what feels right, functions well, and honors the way you live.


How Do We Create Your Homestory?

We’re not here to impose a look. We’re here to interpret your inspiration and translate it into your home—with wisdom, creativity, and care.

Here’s how we do it:

1. We start by listening.
We ask the right questions—about your lifestyle, your goals, your taste, and the way you want to feel at home. We don’t skip this part. It’s the foundation of everything that follows.

2. We design with purpose.
From space planning to selecting materials and furnishings, we tailor every detail to your story. We create what we call a Design Map—a curated visual and technical plan for your project that reflects your unique story and sets the tone for the entire journey.

3. We collaborate closely.
You’re never left out of the process. In fact, our clients often tell us how much they enjoy making decisions with our guidance. We help you make wise choices once—avoiding costly mistakes and design regrets. It’s our job to bring clarity and confidence to what can otherwise feel overwhelming.

4. We see it through.
We’re with you from initial vision to final install. We manage the details, troubleshoot the surprises, and make sure your home unfolds the way it should—layer by layer, story by story.


But… What If I’m Not Sure?

We get it. You might be thinking:

“Isn’t hiring a designer expensive?”
It can be—but not designing well can be even more expensive. We help you avoid costly mistakes by choosing wisely the first time, sourcing the right vendors, and making decisions in the right order. Our clients often tell us they actually saved money by working with us.

“What if I don’t get a say?”
Let us reassure you—we’re highly collaborative. This is your home, your life, your investment. Our role is to guide and elevate, not take over. We bring design expertise, but you bring the heart. We wouldn’t want it any other way.

“What if I don’t know what I like?”
That’s okay, too. We’re skilled at reading between the lines of your inspiration, asking the right follow-up questions, and gently uncovering what will truly feel like home to you.
