Brand Tone

Creative, Encouraging, and Charming

Brand Values

• •Quality & Curation
• •Creativity & Transformation
• •Community & Local Connection
• •Authenticity

Best Practices

• •Use Storytelling Language: Instead of just listing features, frame products within a narrative of transformation (e.g., "give a new life," "tell a new story," "begin your next chapter"). This connects with the core brand value of restoration.
• •Emphasize "Curation" and "Quality": Consistently use words like curated, hand-picked, premium, artisan-quality, and authorized retailer. This justifies the premium nature of the products and builds trust.
• •Speak Directly to the "Maker": Address the audience as fellow creatives. Use encouraging and inclusive language like "your project," "let's create," "we believe in your creativity," and "makers like you."
• •Adopt a Charming and Evocative Vocabulary: Incorporate words like charming, delightful, beautiful, enchanting, and eclectic to reflect the "fun cottage" personality of the brand and the aesthetic of its products.
• •Balance Inspiration with Instruction: Pair inspirational content (finished projects, beautiful transformations) with clear, simple calls-to-action that guide customers on how to achieve the look themselves ("Shop the supplies," "Explore the collection," "Begin your project"). This makes creativity feel accessible.
