You Don’t Need a New Home
You Need Someone to See What’s Already There

About Me
I Believe Your Home Should Tell Your Story
Hi, I’m Kym, the founder of Style This House. I help real people create beautiful, functional homes by working with what they already have.
I believe home should feel personal, comfortable and collected, not like a showroom. You don’t need a bigger house or a bigger budget. You just need a fresh way of looking at the one you have.
How I Got Here
I’ve always been drawn to the homes and the people behind them.
Over the years, I’ve worked with so many homeowners who felt stuck. Not because they were starting from scratch, but because they couldn’t see the potential in what they already had.
They had:
✓ Pieces they loved
✓ Memories throughout their homes
✓ A vision of how they wanted their spaces to feel
They just needed someone to help them see the connection.
MY APPROACH IS DIFFERENT
Many decorating projects start with one question: “What should we buy?” I start with a different question: “What do you already have?”
“You don’t need a new house.
You just need a new way of seeing the one you have.”
Why I Believe in Shopping Your Home First
I’ve walked into plenty of rooms where the homeowner was convinced something needed to be replaced.
-
The sofa was wrong.
-
The rug wasn’t working.
-
The room needed new accessories.
Except sometimes, none of those things were actually the problem. After years of working in people’s homes, I’ve learned that buying something is often the easiest decision to make, but not necessarily the right one.
Sometimes the room needs a better layout. Sometimes there’s simply too much competing for attention. Sometimes a piece that looks completely wrong in one spot is exactly right somewhere else.
That’s why I shop the home before I shop the store. Not because you should never buy anything new. You should. But when you do, I want you to know why you’re buying it and what problem it’s actually solving.
Your Home Has to Work for Your Actual Life
A room can be beautifully decorated and still not work. I pay attention to the things that are easy to overlook: where you put your coffee, which chair nobody sits in, the corner that collects everything, the lamp you never turn on, or the furniture you keep walking around.
Those little things tell me far more about what a room needs than any decorating trend ever could.
Good design should make your home:
✓ Comfortable to live in
✓ Functional for the way you actually use it
✓ Personal rather than predictable
✓ Pulled together without feeling overly styled
Your home doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. It needs to make sense for you.
The Shop Your Home™ Method is how I help you figure out what's working, what isn't, what you can change using what you already own, and what is genuinely worth buying.
