Today I am featuring the amazing home of Jessica Bennet the talented designer and owner behind Alice Lane Home Collection. She has given us some great insight into her home. Enjoy!
My style is collected.
I love design and can always find something beautiful and intriguing in just
about any genre. If I had to peg my style down though, I’d say I’m
Transitional- a blend of contemporary and traditional. Throwing a few
traditional pieces in a room gives it a lasting quality and maturity, and the
contemporary pieces keep things feeling fresh and forward. My aesthetic is well
appointed, tailored, and a little off-beat. I never want my home to appear flat
or pegged into one period- I think all of the great rooms feel traveled, like
they’ve evolved over time.

The photos featured in
this shoot are from the home I have been renting since I moved to Provo
four and a half years ago to open our shop. I wanted to start buying pieces that
I would want in my collection forever, but I knew that I would not be living in
this house long-term . I decided to invest in pieces that could easily be reworked in
a new space—for example, I chose not to invest in a sectional, but rather in
separates that can transition into many rooms in the home. I like change, and
these pieces will make it easier to revamp my house without having to start over.

When designing a
space, I start with my rug. My rug isusually the “hero” of the room, and it
will dictate the mood and color palette of everything else around it. For my
Family room, I chose Thomas O’Brien’s “Dyana” rug; it’s hand-knotted out of
wool and silk, and is based off of a modernist Klimt painting. I believe that
selecting a great rug that will last a lifetime is a well-placed investment,
much like buying fine art.

When it comes to
selecting my larger upholstered pieces, I look for quality, comfort and an
easy-going style that plays well with others. One thing I am is practical;
besides loving something for its aesthetic, it has to work. I can’t have a
chair that’s uncomfortable, or a sofa that doesn’t sit great- that’s it’s job!
I want everyone to be comfortable and will always pay extra feather/down
wrapped cushions.
I think that
is the most important thing to remember when you are designing your space is
that your home is a reflection of who you are and what you value. If I had to
pick three words that really captured the essence of who I am and what I value,
those words would be “comfortable,” “warm,” and “edited.” If you stay true to
yourself while you are designing, you will always love your space and it will
always love you back.
Thanks so much Jessica! Make sure you check out the Alice Lane blog here!

What an incredibly gorgeous space! Absolutely takes my breath away!
I completely stalk the Alice Home Blog daily because I love it so. Her aesthetic is right on with mine and I just want to hop into every space she creates!
Gorgeous furnishings! I am not a fan of their business practices but the store and furnishings are fantastic.
This is an outstanding home. It is so personal and collected, and those things will go with her everywhere! Great ad for how to decorate if you rent! Her style and taste are TDF…classy lady!
Have a nice weekend.

Her home is gorgeous. Makes me want to re-do my entire house, I love it all!
These are just one of the most amazing apartments in the city, with the great neighborhoods and the pretty amazing interiors and designs.
Wow!!! So well organized. Loved your interior.
I love her style! It seems like the perfect blend of modern and traditional and I like the quirky little touches of personality.
Wow! Magnificent! Everything in the house is well designed. I love the blending of the colors, from the fabrics, wall paint and the house decors. I wish I can even step my foot inside this house.
The antique furnishing in the interiors makes it more fascinating and vibrant. Clinton apartments
