On the Being Home With Hunker podcast host @laurie.gunning.grossman is talking with prop stylist Robin Zachary.

In this conversation, they talk about how people can unlock their inner stylist to create beautiful vignettes and spaces at home. After many years of working in magazines where Robin learned how to do prop styling on the job, she now does it as her full-time gig.

Robin shares tips from the photo world on how we can style specific areas of our homes, including bookshelves, coffee tables, and the entryway table. She also has suggestions on where to find unique items for decor. For her, she loves the hunt.

She encourages us to see our homes as ever-changing—and that using styling techniques helps us to curate our spaces, establishing a sort of world within our homes.

You don’t have to just be interested in a career in prop styling to enjoy this episode. If you love to create beauty just for the sake of beauty (and learning styling tips on how to do that, especially in your personal spaces), you’ll love this episode.

In this episode we also talk about:

• Understanding the hierarchy in how we arrange items in our home – and how to use the spaces around us.
• How to use shapes for visual interest, and how to intersect objects when styling vignettes.
• How to use levels and stacking techniques.
• The items she loves to use when styling spaces, including flowers, magazines, and books. (Plus, she shares her favorite ways to use books for styling.)
• How to organize and manage items we collect.
• Why she loves mood boards – and how she teaches people ways to use mood boards. (Think mixed media.)
