Do you want more COLOR in your home decorating?
Beige, taupe, white, and gray walls are fine, but what happens when you crave a bit more color in your home decorating? What happens when you want to add more boldness but are stopped from action because you are afraid of the change?
In today's podcast I'm answering listener Jen's question and easing her fear about putting more color into her home decorating. We first need to break through the barriers that are keeping her stuck, but then we dive right into the tactical ways she can approach adding more color and playfulness in a home that is mostly benign in design.
If you're ready to embrace color, cohesiveness and your design style in your home but you don't know where to start, I invite you to join me in my LIVE, FREE two day Back to Basics Bootcamp where I am teaching you the power of understanding and identifying your personal design style so you can begin making confident design decisions in your own home with less overwhelm, frustration and wasted money.

Quality furnishings that span the generations are a highlight while timelessness trumps the latest trend.

How do you see the BIG PICTURE vision for your home's design?
It starts in the unlikeliest of places and it starts very, very small!
When we think of creating a big picture vision for our homes, we immediately think about putting all of our favorite things into one place and most of us put those things onto Pinterest boards.
But using Pinterest in this capacity only confirms only one thing: that we know how to identify pretty pictures. That is a great start, but identifying pretty pictures and translating those to your home are two separate skills.
Taking some of those pretty pieces we find on Pinterest and isolating individual objects to place onto a mood board or notebook of inspiration is the next best step.
But knowing HOW to identify which specific pieces should go onto those mood boards is key!
In this episode I'm teaching you why looking at the small, fine details matter and how they matter MOST for being able to create a BIG picture vision for your home's design.
This is a high level teaching of how to start identifying the small design elements that make up your style, but I'm teaching more specifically HOW to identify your style inside my

Do you have a room in your home with low natural light?
When you have a room in your home with little to no natural light, you have three choices for decorating:
1. Leave it as-is and do nothing
2. Try to lighten it by highlighting the contrasts
3. Embrace the dark and create an intentionally moody, refined, cozy space
If you'd like to learn more about how to combat a naturally dark room in your home, go back and listen to Episode 224.
In today's episode we are embracing the darkness and creating an intentionally refined, yet cozy, moody space. I share five design elements that will help you to achieve the look:
1. Dark walls
2. A color palette with colors that have deep undertones
3. Ambient lighting
4. Warm accents: wood and brass
5. Textures: velvet and leather
Bonus: traditional pattern
Creating intentional spaces in your home using your design aesthetic (or design style) is something that can be learned. If you are wanting to learn how to create a home that looks cohesive and feels cozy, whether it is bright and airy or moody and broody, I invite you to join me inside Home Design 101 where we learn all things home design in terms YOU can understand.

Do you have everyday clutter that you don't know what to do with?
Everyday clutter is visual clutter that we live with day in and day out. It's useful clutter - things like cords for tech, coffee canisters on the kitchen counters, keys and mail. Every home has everyday clutter, but does every home have a way to contain the clutter in a way that looks pleasing to your design sensibilities (aka pretty)?
In this episode I'm sharing easy solutions for hiding everyday clutter that goes beyond 'put it in a basket'. I share strategies for using multi-purpose furniture, containing shoes, hiding magazines, organizing a coffee station and more.
What's your favorite way to hide everyday clutter? Share it inside the Facebook group at: https://www.bit.ly/design101group
