What Your Camera Roll Says About You: Interior Design Edition

vibrant vintage portrait

Alright, friends. Let’s talk about that camera roll of yours. Yes, the one filled with obligatory first-day-of-school pics, the 57 super-flattering 0.5s of you taken by your twelve-year-old, and those Facebook Marketplace pics of old furniture you forgot to delete. In between all that? Gold. Absolute mood-board-level gold.

Here’s the thing—your camera roll isn’t just a random collection of memories. It’s a treasure map to your home’s design inspiration. Stay with me here:

Cocktail close-up obsessed?

So good it had to be documented, right?

If you have more cocktail close-ups than a bartender —martinis with the twist just so—your home might just be begging for a bar setup that’s more speakeasy than kitchen counter. Imagine this: every sip at home feels like you’re out at your favorite bar, even if you’re lounging in your ratty old PJs. I’m talking chic glassware, a well-stocked bar cart, and lighting that’s perfectly moody because, let’s face it, even a Tuesday night could use a little ambiance.

Vintage treasures on repeat?

That antique bust that *almost* came home with you.

Got a stash of photos featuring groovy lounge chairs, funky art, and quirky vintage knickknacks? If your camera roll looks like you’re scrolling through Chairish, you’re clearly vibing with that “storied” style. All those pics of vintage finds tell me your home needs a mix of pieces with personality—ones that have been around the block and have a little history of their own. Picture a cozy nook with a funky 70s armchair, maybe even a wall of eclectic art that feels like it’s whispering secrets from decades past. Let’s turn that vintage love affair into a whole lifestyle.

Got 257 breaktaking sunset pics?

I mean, gahhhhh!

If you have a rainbow of sunset shots—every pink, purple, and deep blue that ever hit the sky at 7:45 p.m.—you’re clearly in love with that golden hour glow. So, why not bring those dreamy hues inside? Think warm, fiery oranges on your walls or a deep blue that gives off all the calming vibes of dusk. With the right palette, you can create a space that feels bathed in that magic-hour light all day long.

So, what does your camera roll say about you?

Don’t ignore the seemingly random snaps of your shoes on funky tiled floors or that too-pretty-to-eat dumpling you found at a new dim sum spot. That’s pure inspiration gold right there. Each photo shows what makes you light up—whether it’s the stylish hotel lobby that had you drooling, the vibrant colored fresh flowers for sale at the coffee shop, or your kid climbing a tree. Translating these “happy moments” into your home’s vibe means embracing everything that speaks to you.

So, next time you’re scrolling, take notes. Your camera roll is telling you a story—one that just so happens to be the blueprint for a home that feels unapologetically you.

OH HEYYYY

Hi, I'm 
Jess.

The interior design mastermind behind this blog. I think weird is wonderful, animal print should be considered a neutral, and life’s too short to not have a home where every room, nook, and doodad gives you a little bump—a thrill—every time you look around. If you agree, we’ll get along perfectly.
