The 2023 home design predictions are here!!! Design experts from all the places came together (but not really since there are some seriously contradicting ideas) to forecast their home design and decor predictions of the year. So...what's staying and what's going? Some are repeats from last year, some were complete shockers that they're still a 'trend' and others are absolutely no surprise. And some friends...are things fig & farm (at home) has been saying since day 1!!!

Listen in, then weigh in inside our Facebook Group on which trend are you happy to see leaving and which one you're happy to see coming.

You've put the Christmas decorations away, it's a new year and now you're ready for a fresh start in your home's decorations? Is this you? 

Before you go to your favorite home decor store or get your credit card out to make the big purchase, I encourage you to Pause. Reflect on what your home has done for you this past year - the way it's served you and your family well. Explore the Purpose you have for your home (or more specifically, the room you want to refresh) and ask yourself what you want that room to do for you and how it can serve you and your family a little better than it did last year. Then, before making any changes or purchases, make a Plan. How does that plan reflect the purpose you have for the room, your unique design style, your feeling word you want for the room and your color palette? Not sure how all of those things go together or why they even matter?

Are you drowning in STUFF?

Is there stuff everywhere you look? Are you tripping over things that you know should have a resting place in your home? Are you constantly moving one pile in order to make space for another pile - thinking that what you're doing is called organizing? 

Friend, I hear you! It's overwhelming, frustrating and disappointing all wrapped into one. Do you want the good news? The good news is you CAN declutter, edit, remove, get rid of (whatever you want to call it) the excess so you can stop living for your stuff, and start living! 

In today's episode, I share three ways you can SUCCESSFULLY start decluttering your space to make room for more living - more time to interact with your kids, more time to chat with your husband, more room to have your friends over. More life, less stuff. 

If you want help creating a plan to remove the excess in your life, book a call: 

Decorating S.O.S. because decorating CAN'T happen if we first don't address the stuff.

Does your home look "put together?"

Creating a cohesive look to your home can make your home look AND FEEL more cozy. These five steps will help you to create a look of cohesiveness as you decorate your home.

1. Create a color palette: Using the formula 60 (foundation color) + 30 (primary accent color) + 10 (secondary accent color) will help you navigate the color flow of an open concept space. Play around with the ratios of your accent colors. Do you want three? Great - your formula could be 70 + 10 + 10 + 10. 

2. Use those colors from your palette as accents in decorating: pillows, rugs, frames, books, artwork...the colors you chose for your color palette should be represented throughout your room's design.

3. Look for the outlier (a.k.a. BULLY): standing in one vantage point look around to all areas/rooms. Do you spot something that doesn't quite fit in with the color palette? Something that sticks out like a sore thumb? That's your BULLY and the only thing a bully does is bring down the room's design.

4. Remediate the bully: you can remediate the bully by removing it and letting it live somewhere else where it will play nicely with other design elements within the space OR repeat design elements that the bully has somewhere else within the room so that bully isn't an outlier. 

5. Repeat generalized design elements & specific design elements: repeating design elements like color, metals and woods is just scratching the surface of creating a cohesive looking home. Try taking it a level deeper and repeat design elements that might be a bit more subtle. For example: the succulent artwork you have in the corner of your room. You're not only repeating the colors, but maybe you're repeating the plant itself with a live succulent sitting on the coffee table or the same geometric shape of the plant pot in the art as the candle holder sitting on the mantel.

"How do you transform a kid's bedroom into one that looks a little more grown up?"

That was the question my client Amy had about her growing son. They were both ready to paint over the mural on the wall and replace the poster of Cristiano Ronaldo, but the boy is still a sports loving boy.

Enter the ROOM EDIT! A Room Edit is my entry level design service where I help the client formulate a plan to create the room they aspire to have. It all starts with a questionnaire so I have an idea of what they want, a hint of what their style is and colors or products thy may need (or want to avoid). The Room Edit is created with A LOT of information - visuals for the client to follow, ideas of color palettes, and sometimes even recommendations for where to purchase products. Th Room Edit is recorded and delivered for watching, re-watching, re-watching...so the transformation can happen with the client is ready. 

This Room Edit's theme: Mid-Century Mod with an ode to the pitch - Enjoy!

STOP

asking all your friends, your Facebook friends, the people on the street corner, anyone who's breathing for decorating advice. Would you ask a complete stranger what you should wear for a TV interview? NO? How about how to discipline your child? NO? What to eat on Tuesday for dinner?

NO, NO, NO!

But when it comes to choosing a paint color for your wall, you seem to think you need a million and one DIFFERENT opinions! WHY...when you are already overwhelmed, frustrated, confused, discouraged would you ask a complete stranger for decorating advice - especially when you have a visual resource at your fingertips that can be so informative and less abrasive.

Pinterest

Using Pinterest to your advantage in home decorating is a powerful way to understand your aesthetic, but if we only use it for a source of inspiration rather than information - we'll continue to leave feeling overwhelmed and frustrated with a lack of clear direction. And that, my friends, can be down right DISAPPOINTING. 

In today's episode I share three ways you can use Pinterest with intentionality and purpose while you learn your aesthetic. 

If you're ready for MORE and want help using Pinterest as a tool for unlocking your design confidence, Home Design 101 is open for registration. We spend two weeks using Pinterest to establish a firm foundation before decorating your home.

BORING!

If that's the word you are using to describe your home you may be missing something. 

In today's podcast we're continuing our conversation of bringing more Christmas time cozy into your home when the last pine needle has been swept up and the ornaments have been put away. If we love the feeling of Christmas - can we truly get it the rest of the year? The simple answer...YES! Just look at your Christmas tree...it is covered with your family's story, history, legacy. Creating a home that honors your family's story is more than hanging a few photos on the wall (though that's a good start). 

Creating a home you love should reflect YOU...not your neighbor! Are you ready to learn how create a home you love? Home Design 101 is open for registration, but it's CLOSING SOON. Reserve your spot today at:

Do you love the feeling of Christmas in your home?

What is it about the holiday season that makes our homes feel so incredibly cozy? Is it the longer evenings? Possibly. Is it the nostalgia of the ornaments hanging on our tree? Possibly. Is it the decorations that you see from every vantage point? Possibly.

In today's conversation we're talking about that FEELING you get in your home around Christmas. You know the one...the one that makes you say, 'It feels like Christmas.' That one. What is it that makes our homes feel like Christmas and how can we have that feeling even in the heat of the summer? Is it possible? DEFINITELY. I share four things you can do in your home to make it feel as cozy as Christmas, even when the calendar says April.
