Shailey spills her interior design secrets — the little things that make your home look effortlessly styled (without it feeling like a museum where no one’s allowed to sit on the couch).

She walks Katie through her favorite hidden design tricks — like how to use coffee table books as instant personality injections, why stacks of three just feel right, and how trays are basically the emotional support system of home decor.

They also get real about the struggle of folding fitted sheets (spoiler: Shailey has thoughts) and how to mix colors, textures, and personal items so your space actually feels like you. Expect laughs, stories, and a few moments of deep design wisdom that will have you eyeing your living room differently.

Coffee table books = instant personality and visual interest.

Stack in odd numbers for balance (3 is the magic number).

Add personal items — no one else has your memories, so show them off.

Trays make everything look intentional (even your clutter).

Mix colors and textures for cozy depth.

Books are more than decor — they’re conversation starters.

Thrift stores are gold mines for unique finds.

Swap out seasonal books for a quick refresh.

Your personal stories should guide your design choices.

Intentional design makes a home feel cohesive, not cookie-cutter.
