1)Never mix metals

I beg you to start mixing metals! It can be intimidating at first but if you stick to 2-3 complementary finishes (like oil rubbed bronze and brass) it adds a beautiful amount of intentional contrast in the small details.

2)Every surface needs decor

Negative space is a design element, so leave some breathing room around your visual anchors. You want your eyes to rest, not be overwhelmed by the clutter

3)Pushing your furniture against the walls makes a room feel larger

This actually does quite the opposite, it’s best to have your furniture floating to create a conversation space. Even 3-6 inches is enough to create architectural depth & shadows

4)Faux plants look cheap

as with anything in life…you get what you pay for. Do your research (or ask me for my rec’s 😊) because affordable and realistic faux plants are out there!! I promise!

5)Mirrors on the wall make a space feel larger

This is only true if what you are actually reflecting, what’s opposite of the mirror wall, is something beautiful (like artwork, a window or a a styled shelf). Please for the love of all that is green on this earth do not reflect a messy closet, be intentional about what is going to be reflected.

Proportions & visual weight is what can keep a space from feeling just right & these are the top culprits I see almost EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. (!!!!)

- Rugs that are too small
- Sideboards/TV stands that are not proportional to the TV
- Visual weight of furniture not playing with eachother (i.e a “leggy” piece with a “leggy” piece…you need to balance out the negative space with more grounded, chunkier pieces
- Artwork that is too small
- Trees and plants that are teeny tiny in relation to the furniture and room, i. e ceiling height

Get the scale right, and the whole room falls into place!

Great design is SOOO much more than a beautiful space, its about designing with intention from the beginning!

So here are my 5 design secrets you can steal to create a beautiful and cohesive home! 🙌

1. Craft a cohesive design story.
This is where you select the common threads that are carried throughout your space - mood, color, materials

2. Understand scale and proportions.
Scale is how piece fit within the room, proportion is how piece relate to each other.

3. Designing with function in mind.
This gets overlooked and is SO SO SO important. A space needs to work for you, making your day to day life seamless.

4. Establish a focal point.
Every room needs an anchor, this si where your eyes will land when walking into a space.

5.Create contrast.
A room without contrast is flat, so mix opposites together i.e. sleek and textured, light and dark, glossy and matte.

I hope this helps!💕

Confrontation is my least favorite thing on this earth 🫠 but when it comes to my clients…I always protect the vision, quality and budget. 🫡

But it seems so easy right?? 😉✨

Dreaming up the vision is fun, but turning it into reality…that’s where the hard work begins. 💪

Having a trusted experienced designer or consultant on hand saves you from the headaches.

Hiring a designer isn’t just about making things look pretty, it’s about knowing the exact order of operations so your project actually goes smoothly. It’s knowing precisely where tile cuts need to land for a flawless backsplash, or how to seamlessly transition different floors.

I handle all the technical details from start to finish so you don't have to stress. 😇

Nothing beats taking a design off the screen and bringing it into the real world. 💻✨🛠️

The absolute best part of handling in-person design projects is being on-site to oversee the ex*****on. Working alongside contractors step-by-step means I get to catch potential installation issues before they turn into costly mistakes. 😇

That’s why hiring a designer who manages the process from start to finish is a game-changer. Your vision is protected and your design gets built right, without the headaches!!💕

Shopping for tile on a budget does NOT mean your space has to look basic. 😇 (yes, the giant bag the size of my torso is full of samples)

✨ Here are 5 tricks to get that high-end designer look at Floor & Decor:

1. Go big with 24x48 porcelain: Large format tiles give you that sleek, continuous slab effect with hardly any grout lines.

2. Be intentional with your grout: The wrong grout can completely hijack your design. High contrast outlines every single tile grid while tone-on-tone grout keeps things soft and seamless. (Always check your undertones!)

3. Faux Zellige: Grab glazed ceramic tiles with a subtle surface texture to mimic handmade artisan tile and pair them with a matching grout shade.

4. Ditch the basic stagger: Skip the standard brick layout and install budget subway or square tiles in a straight vertical stack for a fresh, contemporary look.

5. Always match your dye lots: Double-check that every single box shares the exact same dye lot and caliber code before heading to checkout.

You can 100% create a gorgeous, custom designer look without breaking the bank…you just have to know what to look for!
