Hi Wazhma! Please give us some more details on All About Home. How did you develop it, and what sets it apart?

I started my Instagram account in 2022 by posting photos of products, which evolved into posting videos of my home as I decorated it with budget-friendly finds. Despite almost no growth for two years, I continued posting five days a week. Finally, three of my reels went viral back to back, and my account grew to over 100k followers. My unique home layout and design set my account apart; I don't always follow the trends.

What attracted you to including Grandeur Hardware in your home?

I chose the hardware for this project because the long plates, variety of levers and knobs, and the lovely Vintage Brass finish all matched exactly what I was looking for. The details and craftsmanship were perfect for the aesthetic I wanted to achieve. I changed out the first-floor door handles and am planning to change our second-floor door handles, too. I love how our doors look, and I want to update all the door handles in our home for a cohesive look.

Did you learn any tips and tricks about door hardware that would benefit others?

Before starting the installation, I recommend carefully reading the instructions and watching the videos. This preparation helps ensure a smooth and successful process.

What is your design style, and how do you incorporate it within your home?

My home design is transitional and modern, and I love the brass finish. Incorporating brass-colored hardware makes the home feel more custom-made and adds personal touches.

When starting a project, how do you organize and plan for it?

I work on one project at a time and only start another once my first one is completed. If I have multiple projects, I take a few days' break before starting my next project to avoid burnout.

What are some recommendations for readers who wish to take on large remodeling projects?

For those who want to take on extensive remodels, I recommend thoroughly researching and planning each step of the project. Setting a realistic budget and timeline, hiring contractors, and sourcing materials are all crucial. Additionally, consider consulting with a professional designer to help bring your vision to life and ensure everything goes smoothly.

What are some tips for readers who wish to transform their homes?

Transforming your home starts with a clear vision of your goal. Begin by decluttering and organizing your space to create a fresh foundation. Establish a realistic budget, prioritizing impactful items like furniture or lighting. A fresh coat of paint can dramatically change the ambiance of a room. Opt for multi-functional furniture to maximize space, especially in smaller homes. Personalize your home with art, photographs, and decor that reflect your personality. Pay attention to lighting by incorporating ambient, task, and accent lighting to enhance the atmosphere. Adding plants can bring life and color to your home. Focus on key pieces that anchor each room, such as a statement sofa or a distinctive dining table. Finally, don’t be afraid to blend old and new styles to create a unique, inviting space.

Thanks to Wazhma for a great partnership!
