Decorating Tips and Tricks

Less is definitely more - more style, more curated, more enjoyment. Today we teach you how to increase your style but reducing your stuff!

A few of the key points from today's episode -

A house overflowing with stuff (even good stuff) can be stressful.

Don't buy stuff just because it's cheap and on trend.

Steer clear of trends unless they really speak to you.

Collect things you love

Don't buy things just because they are the right color.

Don't buy things just because your decor has a 'hole' in it.

Summertime and the living (and decorating) is easy! There are so many simple ideas to freshen up for this season. 

Summer decorating might just be more about what you take away than what you add. Remove and store away any items that say winter. That is includes the beloved furry Mongolian pillows!

Maybe you take down drapes & let the room bask in even more sunlight.

If you are adding for summer, how about:

We had so much more to say after the MUST KNOW DECORATING TIPS part 1, that we had to record a part 2! This part 2, unlike many sequels, is just as great as part 1 - maybe even better!

You can find part 1 HERE.

Here are just a few of the MUST KNOW DECORATING TIPS we shared in this episode.

~ Scale your furniture to the room size & ceiling height;

~ Do your homework before buying antiques;

~ Use furniture to delineate spaces;

~ Choose a simple, neutral tile backsplash ( you will never regret it! );

~ Add a mirror to your entry;

~ Use furniture with low visual noise in a small space;

~ Incorporate the rule of threes;

~ Use every room in your home regularly ( imprint the life of your family on every square foot! )

Oh and the tips go on & on .... as do the laughs & stories.

Are you a collector? Do you have a passion for dishes, or linens or something else? Let's talk about how to collect without becoming a hoarder. What are the do's and don'ts of collecting?

First, try to curate your collections so that you just have your favorite pieces, the best of the best. You don't need a hundred items to make it a curated collection. Next try to do a write up on the items for future generations. Why are you collecting the items? What is their importance to you or your family?  Make a note of anything of a large monetary value so your family will know.  If you suspect your collection is worth a lot of money, have it appraised, then consider securing a rider on your insurance policy for the items, so they will be covered in case of loss.

We also encourage people to display their items and if possible, use them. I collect dishes, and I try to use them often. Boxing things and putting them in the attic is not a good way to enjoy them.

As you may know, Kelly has always used soft pink incandescent bulbs to create a warm glow in her home. With the ban of the incandescent bulb a reality she scoured the globe looking for a replacement LED bulb.

Today she shares her findings, what you need to know about the switch from incandescent to LED and we discuss the state of lighting today. As lighting can make or break your decor this is a must listen bonus episode.

Bottom line:

If you miss the radiant warmth of a gently dimmed incandescent light bulb,

the Philips Ultra Definition 60W Replacement A19 Dimmable LED Light Bulb

with Warm Glow Effect Soft White might be the next best thing, at least for now.

These LED bulbs are designed to mimic the analog ambience of a heated light

filament by casting more red light waves as their dimming level gets lower,

without the need for Wi-Fi or a complicated app setup.

So if you're longing to bask in that nostalgic radiance. Try these bulbs HERE.

( make sure to choose soft white - 800 lumens - 60 watt )

Jennifer said, "[This is a review of the consult not the podcast]

I had been angsting about what to do with our LR for months. I finally decided to set up a consult with you. Now I ask myself, Why on earth did I wait so long!? You both came prepared and clearly had examined my photos and thought everything through before you called. You gave me specific, actionable suggestions which were right on point. You explained the reasons for your suggestions which gave me the ability to adapt your ideas as needed, because the goal and plan plan were so clear. I’m almost done with the room now, and couldn’t be happier!"

Often we say "Rule - Schmule" ~ well, something like that.

We generally like to pave our own decorating road and encourage you to do the same. That being said, there are some tried & true rules which when followed make decorating easier and the look better.

Before we get to far into our show notes, we're so excited to tell you that we have some fun bonus content coming at you the end of each month. We're choosing lively design topics, and we are both going to weigh in. Opinions will be flying. Will we agree? Tune in to find out. Check your podcast app for an extra episode at the end of each month.

Today we go over one of these rules, so you know it, understand how to apply it and you know when to hold 'em & when to fold 'em with respect to it. Listen in for the rule, a terrific listener question and a coming together to help request.

The rule is the 60 - 30 - 10 rule.

Do you know of it? Do you follow it? We dive into the reason for the rule, what it does for your decorating, how you can use it to your advantge and a few ways to tweak it make it your own.

Our listener question today is from Patricia and it involves hanging a chandy...

Question for you ~ are you a 'swagger'? Let us know & listen in to hear what we think of Patricia being a 'swagger'.

Thanks for your question Patricia!

We have ideas that push the envelope of what might be typically considered ‘romantic’ and those that clearly fall into that category. Each item will add a delightful touch to your home and in turn make you feel wonderful. That sounds pretty romantic doesn’t it?

A velvet duvet from Ballard Designs HERE.

A cross the tub bath caddy from Wayfair HERE

A faux fur throw from Soft Surroundings HERE.

SCHEDULE A DESIGN CONSULT

Need help with your home? We'd love to help! We do personalized consults, and we'll offer advice specific to your room that typically includes room layout ideas, suggestions for what the room needs, and how to pull the room together. We'll also help you to decide what isn't working for you. We work with any budget, large or small. Find out more HERE

Hang out with us between episodes at our blogs, IG and Kelly's YouTube channels. Links are below to all those places to catch up on the other 6 days of the week!
