People at Home from Apartment Therapy House Tours

You know we love to see your gorgeous homes here on Apartment Therapy. We're here to help you to create (and show off) spaces that are well laid out, lovingly furnished, thoughtfully organized. As much as we love seeing your homes, the icing on the cake is seeing you in them.

All too often, home decor photographs look staged and empty. We love catching people enjoying the spaces they call home. Here, we've gathered images of peopled interiors from past Apartment Therapy House Tours:

FIRST ROW:
• 1 Joshua and Julian from The Deaners' Fresh Start in Little Rhody at Apartment Therapy Boston
• 2 Mason and Serena's Sunset Beach Bungalow at Apartment Therapy San Francisco
• 3 Anne-Marie and Maddie from Anne-Marie & Vytas's Sophisticated Comfort at Apartment Therapy DC
• 4 Harry from Lance & Harry's Merged Mini Masterpiece at Apartment Therapy New York
• 5 Flavia and Rodrigo's Simpático Space at Apartment Therapy Los Angeles

SECOND ROW:
• 6 Ashwiny's Riot of Colors at Apartment Therapy Los Angeles
• 7 Amy's Vintage-Modern Nest at Apartment Therapy Chicago
• 8 Meghan & Shawn's Spacious & Vibrant Flat at Apartment Therapy San Francisco
• 9 Nicole Halves Her Haven at Apartment Therapy New York
• 10 Melissa and Matt's Design Lab at Apartment Therapy Chicago

Great article. It feels like the finishing touch in the one year I've been reading a.t. More often would have been cheesy, more polished would have been cold.

so glad this is being said - I had gotten the impression that real people were discouraged in the pics - but have enjoyed seeing homes with the people and pets and activity.

The sight of a kid's torso and a diaper isn't the icing on *my* cake.

I love this.I think it's always more interesting to see glimpses of who lives in the homes, and seeing the similarities between them...like dogs and owners
