It’s been a whirlwind of a May, and I couldn’t wait to share some game-changing tips that one of my clients absolutely loved! These four design tricks completely transformed her perspective on home styling. Here’s what made all the difference:

1. Dining room curtains, or curtains in any room for that matter. They make all the difference they bring a room from plain to spectacular. Rules with curtains to ALWAYS abide by, hang them as close to the ceiling as possible and buy a length that leaves them fluttering on the floor for all the drama. This dining room felt complete the moment I hung these!

2. When you question open wall space in a room near a window: Hang the mirror. It will brighten, lighten and broaden any space! (Peep the curtains again 😍)

3. Layer the pillows on the bed, even though your husband will be annoyed taking them off every night 😇. On a king sized bed you need 3 24x24 white pillows, 2 24x24s of a print or texture and then a lumbar pillow sized 36x16 of your choice to bring it all together. Making your bed in the morning sets the tone for the day and why not have something pretty to make!

4. To my surprise, my client said she never ever thought of layering a rug on top of carpet and when I did this staging her home she was mind blown. So I figured this would be a helpful tip for the rest of my people! A rug on carpet makes it so your furniture doesn’t look floating and it makes a room feel more interesting and well designed. Do your best to have all front legs of the furniture touching the rug to make it feel cohesive.

Happy May, slay the day, love always
