Our home is our refuge. The place where we relax, reconnect, retreat and rejuvenate. In this photo challenge, our guest judge, interior designer and blogger, Anita Yokota, will be looking for her favorite photos of the home. Photographers are encouraged to shoot not only their home, but also themselves or others as subjects within the space. The photos submitted can be interior or exterior shots.

Anita shares tips for great home shots:

• Shoot Vertical: Most social media platforms display vertical shots best.
• Have Balance: Place bigger furniture such as sofas in the center of your shot. Add in accent tables, textiles and art as layers to give visual depth and interest.
• Use Natural Light: Natural light is your best friend. Eliminate artificial lighting in your interior shots.
