Happy New Year, creatives! ✨ In today’s episode, we’re talking about something that quietly makes a living room feel… off and it’s not your furniture or your rug. It’s focal points.

From TVs in front of windows to fireplaces on the “wrong” wall, or oversized art floating in an empty space, small layout decisions can really shift the energy of a room. I’m breaking down the common mistakes I see all the time, sharing why scale, placement, and grounding matter, and giving a few simple ways to make your living room feel intentional, cozy, and balanced..without adding another thing to your already full space.

Even if you’re not planning a full makeover, these tips will help you look at your space differently, think about what your eye naturally lands on, and maybe even inspire a subtle refresh that makes the room feel right.

Grab a coffee (or a glass of orange juice, no judgment), and let’s talk living rooms, design, and everything in between.
