Hey friend!
I get it...when you think you stink at something, it's not super motivating to keep doing it. Right? But learning how to decorate your home is just that - it's a learned skill. Similar to riding a bike, tying your shoes, or baking a cake - you weren't born knowing how to do it, so why should you expect home decorating to be any different?
Inside this episode I'm responding to Tracy's Dear Dani letter - trying to bolster her decorating confidence after years of feeling unsuccessful (and now stuck) in the way her home looks and feels. She's wanting a change, but feels a bit scared to give it another go.
5 Tips for building your home decorating confidence
1. Start small: Start with low risk changes rather than expensive (both in time and money) changes that might not work out. Shop the house, rearrange the furniture, get rid of things are all great examples of starting small.
2. Practice with a test run: If you're contemplating change, try mimicking that change and practicing the look before committing any money to it. Listen to the podcast for an example.
3. See it before you decide: Before you buy anything, try taking a screenshot of it and placing it on a word doc so you can see how the items look all together. Once you like it, then try it.
4. Progress over perfection: Just like learning any new skill, it's about the progress rather than perfection. You will make mistakes - like anyone learning a new skill, but using some of the tips will help you practice you home decorating muscles so you begin limiting the amount of mistakes you are making. The end goal - to love your home better than you do today. That happens with progress over time rather than perfection.
5. Hold on to Rules loosely: Let the rules be a companion in decision making ONLY if they are helpful. Not sure what size of curtains to get? Find the rules and let those inform your decision making.
