A post shared by CAFFERY VANHORNE HOME (@cafferyvanhornehome) Understand Your Style According to Caffery, there’s an element of how we put ourselves together that translates into the way we live. That’s why he always starts in a client’s closet, looking at the choices they make every day.
Sometimes, those choices are things that people think they look good in; other times, it’s what they feel good in. Figure out what attracts you and you’ll begin to better understand your personal style. “If you look at your wardrobe and realize you wear a lot of black, for example, then you’ll understand that you’re attracted to dark colours,” he says.
“If you look good in something that you’ll also look at, it surrounds you.” Caffery says one of his favourite bedrooms he’s ever done was a black bedroom with windows.
