Part 3 of my 25 Interior Design Tips for 2025: Let’s talk RUG SIZING 🏡✨ Because nothing throws off a room faster than a rug that’s too small (and I promise it’s the most common mistake I see). Here’s what you need to know ⬇️ ✔️ Always size up — a bigger rug makes your space feel larger and more cohesive. ✔️ At least the front legs of your furniture should sit on the rug — it visually anchors the room. ✔️ Leave 8–12" of floor showing around the rug edges for balance. ✔️ In the bedroom, the rug should extend 18–24" past each side of the bed (no tiny rugs under a king bed 😅). ✔️ Dining chairs should stay on the rug even when pulled out — 24" beyond the table is ideal. ✔️ Layer smaller rugs over jute or sisal bases to get that designer look for less. If you take away one thing from this video: when in doubt, go bigger. The right rug size completely transforms your space. 🫶🏼 Would you want me to make a room-by-room rug size guide next? 👀 LTKHome

🧼✨ “Hygiene for your home” — because while I love decorating, a happy home starts with being clean, healthy, and high-functioning.

Here’s your checklist for a cleaner, fresher home:

1️⃣ Change your AC filter monthly — this one’s huge for air quality. It helps your HVAC system run more efficiently, lowers dust buildup, and keeps allergens and pet dander under control. You’ll literally breathe easier. 🌬️

2️⃣ Use an air purifier — especially if you have pets. It helps remove dust, odors, and invisible particles floating in the air (think pollen, bacteria, even candle soot). I keep one running in our bedroom and main living area 24/7. 🐾

3️⃣ Change your bedding weekly — sheets collect sweat, oils, and skin cells (gross but true). I stick to white bedding because it’s easy to bleach and sanitize, and I keep multiple sets on hand so I can rotate them easily. Crisp white sheets = instant hotel vibes. 🤍

4️⃣ Vacuum + mop weekly — don’t wait for visible dirt. Consistent cleaning keeps your floors truly clean and prevents grime from building up. Pro tip: vacuum slowly to actually lift dust and allergens, and use a gentle floor cleaner that won’t dull finishes. 🧹✨

5️⃣ Keep hypochlorous acid on hand — it’s my cleaning secret weapon. Naturally derived, non-toxic, and powerful enough to disinfect surfaces, kill bacteria, deodorize, and even refresh fabric. It’s safe for pets, kids, and sensitive skin — truly magic in a bottle. 💧

6️⃣ Run your diffuser daily — I keep mine going 24/7 with fresh, non-toxic essential oils. It makes your home smell clean even when you’re not there, helps purify the air, and creates that calm, cozy atmosphere that makes home feel like home. 🌿

Because the truth is — a beautiful home means nothing if it isn’t fresh, healthy, and high-functioning. ✨

✨ Episode 2: 25 Interior Design Tips for 2025 ✨
Let’s talk table lamps — one of those small details that completely change a space. 🤍

Here’s what I always consider when shopping for them ⬇️

1️⃣ Height matters most. The lamp should complement the height of your headboard. Personally, I only go for large, oversized lamps on nightstands — anything under 20” feels too small.

2️⃣ The base is just as important. I love when it has visual weight — wide, substantial, and grounding. Skinny or slender bases tend to get lost next to furniture.

3️⃣ The shade sets the mood. Larger shades give off a softer, golden glow — exactly what you want in a cozy bedroom. 🌙

💡 Bonus tip: If your lamp isn’t dimmable, use smart bulbs (or small wattage bulbs) to get that same warm, relaxing vibe.

Would you rather go oversized and statement-making or sleek and minimal with your lamps?

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome

If your home ever feels flat or “off” and you can’t quite figure out why — this is probably the reason 👇🏼
Most people decorate all at once instead of layering intentionally.
Designers, on the other hand, always think in layers: base, middle, and top.
Each one has a purpose, and together they create that balanced, magazine-worthy look (without needing a huge budget).
Let’s break it down 🪞✨
🏛️ Base Layer — Furniture
This is the foundation of your space. It’s everything that sets the tone and defines flow — your sofa, rug, bed, dresser, or dining table.
Think scale and placement first. Even the prettiest decor can’t fix a layout that doesn’t make sense. I always recommend starting with your biggest piece (like a sofa or bed) and building out from there before adding anything decorative.
💡 Middle Layer — Art & Lighting
Once your foundation is solid, add your visual interest. This is where your personality really starts to shine through.
Art, mirrors, sconces, pendants, and table lamps all add depth and dimension.
A common mistake I see? Relying only on overhead lighting. Layered lighting makes your home feel warm, cozy, and designed.
If a room feels dull, it’s usually because this layer is missing.
🕯️ Top Layer — Styling Objects
This is your finishing touch — the detail that brings the whole story together.
Pillows, throws, trays, candles, vases, books, stems… these are the pieces that make a space feel lived in yet intentional.
Mix textures (glass + linen + wood), vary heights, and style in groups of three for that effortless designer look.
✨ The Rule:
If something feels off, don’t buy more decor — step back and ask yourself:
“Which layer is missing?”
Decorating in layers is how you create rooms that feel collected, cohesive, and done. It’s the difference between a space that looks styled and one that feels curated

How to decorate a bedroom like an interior designer (Amazon edition 😉)✨
Today’s topic: mixing wood tones — because not everything has to match to look cohesive. The key is balance 🤍
I like to tie different wood tones together using decorative elements like art, area rugs, and soft textiles that blend the tones throughout the space. It creates that layered, designer look — all without the price tag.
Which tone are you most drawn to — light oak, walnut, or espresso? 👀

Let’s talk lighting 💡✨
Choosing the right lightbulbs makes a huge difference in how your home feels — cozy and inviting vs. harsh and cold. Here’s how to actually read those lightbulb boxes 👇🏼

1️⃣ Watts (W): This used to be the main way we measured brightness — but now it’s often replaced with lumens. Higher lumens = brighter light. You’ll still see watts listed, but for modern LED bulbs, lumens are the number that really tell you how bright the bulb will be.

2️⃣ Kelvin (K): This measures the color temperature of the light.
• 2700K–3000K → warm, golden glow (my favorite for that cozy, inviting vibe 🌤️)
• 3500K–4000K → bright, neutral white — great for kitchens & bathrooms
• 5000K+ → cool daylight — perfect for offices or task lighting

Personally, I’m team warm glow all the way — I want lighting that feels like golden hour, not a doctor’s office 😂

💡Tip: Always check those two numbers on the box — lumens for brightness and K for warmth or coolness. They’ll tell you exactly how your space will look once the lights are on.

Are you team warm glow or bright white?⬇️

Let’s talk about the Ralph Lauren Christmas trend that’s taking over this year 🎄✨ Think timeless, cozy, and sophisticated — the kind of Christmas that feels like it belongs in a mountain lodge or a country estate. Here’s how to get the look at home:
1️⃣ Stick to a traditional color palette — deep reds, forest greens, maroon, and navy never miss.
2️⃣ Bring in classic textiles like tartan, gingham, and rich wool throws for that heritage feel.
3️⃣ Keep it classical over kitschy — no Grinch-green decor in sight 😂
4️⃣ Candles are your best friend — they instantly add warmth and that moody, elegant glow.
5️⃣ And of course, you need a good Christmas playlist to complete the vibe… should I share mine? 🎶
It’s giving old-money holiday charm with a cozy twist ❤️✨

#LTKHome #LTKFindsUnder50

Unpopular opinion: I love open-concept homes 😌✨
I know they’re not everyone’s favorite, but when they’re done right, they feel airy, inviting, and effortless.
Here’s how to decorate one like a pro 👇

1️⃣ Pick a color palette and stick to it religiously.
If decorating isn’t your strong suit, neutrals are your best friend — they’ll instantly make your space feel cohesive and calm.

2️⃣ Use area rugs to define spaces.
This is the most important part. Without them, everything blends together and feels like one giant room. I always recommend XL rugs in open-concept layouts.

3️⃣ Layer in lamps.
The biggest mistake people make is skipping lighting — you need multiple lamps to keep things cozy instead of sterile.

4️⃣ Think about walkability.
Since it’s one large space, you should be able to move around easily. Keep pathways open and your furniture layout intentional.

If you do these four things, your open floor plan won’t feel like a warehouse — it’ll feel like a dream home. 🤍

#LTKHome #LTKStyleTip

Homes have gotten a little too copy + paste lately 😬
If you’re craving something more creative or whimsical in your space — here are a few ways to bring back personality and charm ✨
1️⃣ Funky lampshades — If your lamps feel a little boring, swap the shade! Pattern, pleats, or scalloped edges instantly make them feel designer.
2️⃣ Fabric-covered mats — A DIY favorite! Wrapping your photo mats in patterned fabric adds so much texture + color to a gallery wall.
3️⃣ Sconces — So underused! There are tons of wall sconces that work with rechargeable puck lights — no hardwiring needed.
4️⃣ Patterned curtains — Step away from plain white! Patterned or colored curtains (even café curtains in the kitchen!) bring so much life and warmth.
5️⃣ Statement furniture — This one’s an investment, but I love when accent chairs or side tables are a little funky. They instantly give your space character.
It’s time to make your home feel you again 🤍
Which one would you try first? 👇

Some people have niche obsessions with Taylor Swift. Some people love birds.
Mine? Small boutique hotels — and the interior design inside them. 🫶🏼✨

One of my absolute favorites sits in Lake Como, Italy: Passalacqua. The history alone is breathtaking — at one point, it was home to Pope Innocent XI, and it’s now been restored into a 24-room boutique hotel that feels less like an overnight stay and more like a life-changing experience. 🕊️🇮🇹

I’m endlessly inspired by the European architecture and Italian interior design — it’s truly one of the most stunning places on Earth.

Should I make this a whole series? 👀💭

I’m about to ruffle some feathers 🪶😅 but here are 3 things I hate in home decor (and how to fix them 👀):

1️⃣ Olive trees – I love them in theory, but we’ve gotten out of hand 😭 The key is finding one that’s full and realistic — not tall, skinny, and sad looking. You want something that actually brings life and movement to your space. I linked some of my faves that actually look good 👏

2️⃣ Lightbulbs – Hear me out: lighting can make or break your home. If your space feels like an operating room, it’s time to turn off the overheads 🙈 Stick to warm, cozy lamps and soft lighting instead — it changes everything.

3️⃣ Family gallery walls – Controversial, I know 😬 but they’re really hard to get right. If you’re going to do it, make sure your frames have mats, the photos are all in the same tone or section, and PLEASE hang them straight.

Which one do you agree with most?! 👇✨

Bringing back one of my favorite series ✨ — how to decorate a bedroom just like an interior designer 🛏️
This time, I’m only using products from Amazon to prove that you can create a custom, elevated space without the designer price tag.

I hate to tell you this… but some of y’all stink 🫣👕✨
If your towels smell like mildew, or your clothes never come out fresh—your laundry routine is the problem, not your nose.
Here’s the combo you actually need (cheap + effective):
1️⃣ Skip the “fancy” stuff and go with a good detergent.
2️⃣ Replace softeners with white vinegar (seriously—game changer).
3️⃣ Add borax. It disinfects + deep cleans like nothing else.
Bonus if you’re a little bougie like me:
🌸 Scent beads — Bath & Body Works Flannel for cozy fall vibes, or Palo Santo if you want that clean, aesthetic “Le Labo” energy.
🌀 Toss the dryer sheets — use dryer balls instead! Add a few drops of essential oils (lavender, citrus, eucalyptus… I rotate them weekly).
Result? Clothes that actually smell clean, stay fresh longer, and make laundry less of a chore. 🧺✨

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKFindsUnder50

Fall is the perfect time to cozy up your entryway and make your home feel warm and inviting right from the first step. Here’s how I layer in seasonal charm for that welcoming curb appeal:
1️⃣ Start with a statement wreath – I always choose something oversized and full of texture. Think dried leaves, mini pumpkins, faux eucalyptus, or wheat bundles. Nothing smaller than 22 inches—it should fill the space and make a bold first impression.
2️⃣ Layer your planters – Mix tall faux branches like maple or olive with real fall florals like mums, cabbages, or pansies. Vary heights, tuck in gourds or mini pumpkins, and use cozy containers like woven baskets or rustic ceramic pots to add charm and dimension.
3️⃣ Add fall accents – This is where you can really get creative. Layer in solar lanterns, clusters of pumpkins, candle-filled hurricane jars, or even cozy plaid throws draped on a bench. It’s those thoughtful little extras that bring the whole space together.
It doesn’t take much to bring the magic of fall right to your doorstep 🍁 Save this post for inspo and tag me if you decorate your porch this season!

We’re officially in the most magical season and the holidays are right around the corner ✨🎄 If you want to decorate the right way, here are my 3 go-to tips—with @Wayfair finds, of course 😉

1️⃣ Christmas Trees Everywhere – don’t stop at your main tree! I love using smaller trees in the entryway or on either side of the front door for instant holiday charm.
2️⃣ Faux Florals on a Budget – the easiest way to sprinkle holiday cheer. I add them to my entry, dining table, and even the kitchen. 🎀
3️⃣ Garland Statement – nothing beats a layered, lush garland on the mantle. I always double (or triple!) up to create a custom designer look. 🌲✨

Wayfair has SO many amazing holiday pieces to help bring these ideas to life, no matter your style or budget. 🛋️🎁 #wayfair #AD #WayfairPartner

Effortless chic is all in the details 🖤
– A pretty hand soap bottle that makes the sink feel special
– Tiny treasures with meaning, tucked into shelves + trays
– Delicate wine glasses (because juice tastes better in them, too 😉)
– Crisp white sheets that give hotel vibes every night
– Glass hurricane candle holders that add that cozy, glowy magic
It’s the quiet little luxuries that make a home feel elevated. ✨ What’s your chic must-have?
