If you're planning to update your home, pause.

Before you buy the sofa.
 Before you choose the tile.
 Before you repaint or swap the lighting.

Not every design decision creates the same level of impact.

In this episode of Your Home by Design, we’re breaking down where to spend your money in the living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom to elevate your space — without renovating everything.

Because here’s what most people get wrong:
 They change a lot… but not the right things.

And that’s why a space still feels:

• Updated but not elevated
• New but not designed
• Fine… but not finished

We’ll cover:

• Why “builder grade” feels flat — and how to correct it
• The one anchor piece that transforms your living room
• How sink selection impacts daily stress
• The bedroom detail that instantly elevates (and most people overlook)
• Where to spend in a bathroom for maximum visual and tactile impact
• A final insight about execution that may completely shift how you allocate your budget

At Paro, we believe homes are active participants in your well-being. They influence your mood, your stress levels, your behavior — even your health.

Impact isn’t about spending more.
 It’s about spending intentionally.

If you’re ready to move your home from basic to intentional — this episode will change how you think about design.

🔑 Key Takeaways

• Builder grade lacks hierarchy — and hierarchy is what makes rooms feel finished.
• Anchor pieces (sofa, headboard, vanity, shower wall) carry visual weight.
• Daily-use elements deserve investment (sinks, faucet handles, lighting).
• Execution protects impact — poor craftsmanship weakens even good materials.
• Concentrating your budget in fewer rooms creates stronger results.
• Quality is felt — even when it isn’t consciously noticed.
