Part 16 of 25 Interior Design Tips for 2025 ✨ and today we’re tackling the questions I get asked every single day as a designer — my 5 must-know home decor rules that will completely change the way your space looks and feels. 🫶 1. Do you need an area rug? YES. Every room (and even hallways!) need rugs. And please… go big or go home. 🎨 2. Paint sheen? Eggshell forever. It looks matte, hides imperfections, and is wipeable — the dream combo. 🛏️ 3. Pillow sizing? Always size up your inserts. A 20x20 cover needs a 22x22 insert for that plush, designer look. ☁️ 4. Duvet or comforter? Duvet. Always. It gives that hotel-quality volume and the luxe finish you see in every inspo photo. 🖼️ 5. How high to hang wall art? Over furniture: keep a 4–6 inch gap. On a blank wall: aim for eye level — around 60 inches. Save this for your next room makeover because these five rules alone will instantly elevate your home. ✨ LTKHome

Part 17 of 25 Interior Design Tips for 2025 — and today we’re talking smart splurges 🛋️✨
Five home decor items that are 100% worth investing in (even if you’re a budget girlie like me).

🛏️ 1. Bedding
You use it every single day, so yes… it’s worth it. I always splurge here. Percale is my ride-or-die as a hot sleeper — crisp, breathable, and instantly elevates your entire bedroom.

🍽️ 2. Flatware
Hot take: splurge on flatware before dinnerware. A chic, heavyweight utensil set makes every meal feel elevated and lasts forever.

🧺 3. Organizers
An organized home is a peaceful home. Investing in good organizers saves time, energy, and about 47 future headaches.

💡 4. Lighting
Always, always splurge. Think table lamps, sconces, pendants — plus quality light bulbs. Lighting is the jewelry of the home, and it sets the tone for your entire space.

🧶 5. Large Area Rugs
Size. Up. Always. A larger rug grounds your room, adds warmth, and instantly makes everything feel more designer.

If you’re trying to make your home feel elevated without blowing your budget, these five categories are game-changers 🤍✨

A special holiday edition: 10 ways to actually feel the holiday spirit this year**
If you’re someone who never really gets in the holiday mood… we’re changing that. Here are 10 things that will instantly make your home feel festive — even if you’re in a tiny space, renting a room, or always feel like December sneaks up on you. 🎄❤️
1. Decorate every area
Don’t overthink it. A mini tree on your nightstand, garland on your dresser, a wreath on your door… decorating your space truly shifts your entire mindset.
2. Holiday scents
Candles, diffusers, stovetop pots, room sprays — whatever you love. So many are on sale right now and scent is the fastest way to transform a space.
3. Seasonal phone wallpaper
Silly? Maybe. Effective? YES. A cute holiday wallpaper genuinely boosts your mood every time you pick up your phone.
4. Swap your hand soaps
Target seasonal hand soaps are elite and only like $3. One in the kitchen, one in the bathroom — instant festive upgrade.
5. Holiday PJs
Non-negotiable. They set the tone and make everything feel cozy. Grab a cute matching set and thank me later.
6. Holiday movies 24/7
Put them on as background noise instead of music. It feels magical, especially in the evenings.
7. Festive laundry routine
Add a seasonal laundry booster or a boujee holiday scent. Folding laundry just hits different when it smells like Christmas. 😉
8. One holiday craft
Push yourself to do at least one! Gingerbread houses, paper chains, homemade ornaments — it’s nostalgic and therapeutic.
9. Plan everything
My Type-A girlies know… the holidays are BUSY. A plan keeps the chaos manageable and the season enjoyable.
10. A signature holiday diffuser scent
Mine runs 24/7. It’s warm, cozy, and ties the entire house together. Scent is the unsung hero of holiday vibes.
Happy December, friends — let’s make this your MOST festive season yet. ❤️🎄✨

Hosting Thanksgiving like Martha Stewart ✨🍂
10 tips to elevate your table settings and host like a pro — because we’re going for chic, effortless, and warm-and-inviting this year.
1. Linen napkins — the quickest way to elevate your dining experience. This is the one time of year I love splurging on a small luxury.
2. Layer your dinnerware — chargers → dinner plates → salad plates. It instantly makes your tablescape look full, finished, and intentional.
3. Keep the centerpiece low — we’re here for conversation, not craning our necks around a giant floral arrangement.
4. Signature scent — you know I’m passionate about this. Diffusers running an hour before guests arrive + a couple candles lit (especially in the bathroom). Game changer.
5. Add ambience — fairy lights tucked into the centerpiece + mini battery candles = an instant warm glow.
6. Curate a chic Thanksgiving playlist — slow jazz or soft acoustic in the background just ties everything together.
7. Self-serve drink station — trust me, this makes hosting so much easier. BYOB or mix-your-own keeps the flow smooth while you finish cooking.
8. Family-style serving — if you want to keep table settings simple, this is the easiest way. It fills the space and feels cozy.
9. Let your guests help — hard for my Type-A girlies, but people love contributing. Assign small tasks like refreshing drinks or helping set the table.
10. Clean + restock the bathroom — the most-used space of the day. Fresh towels, a candle, and all the essentials stocked.

25 Interior Design Tips for 2025 — Pt. 14
5 tips to create a hotel-quality bedroom at home 🛏️✨
If you want your space to feel elevated, luxurious, and put together, these are the non-negotiables:
Symmetry – Your best friend in the bedroom. Keep nightstands, lamps, and overall styling mirrored on both sides. It instantly makes the space feel calmer and more intentional.
A duvet – I know… some of you hate them. 😂 But nothing creates that fluffy, high-end volume like a good duvet. It’s worth the learning curve, I promise.
Quality bedding – This is my splurge category. You use your bedding every single day, so invest in materials that feel soft, breathable, and luxe.
Lighting – Large lamps + soft, low lighting only. No overheads. This is the secret to that warm, cozy, boutique-hotel vibe.
Air purifier + diffuser – Clean air is essential in a bedroom. An air purifier makes a massive difference, and a diffuser helps your space smell like your signature scent.
Turn your bedroom into the five-star escape you deserve 🤍✨

How to Decorate Your Mantle for the Holidays (Like an Interior Designer)
If your mantle has been stressing you out every holiday season… this one’s for you. Here are the 5 essential steps to getting that designer look without overthinking it:
1. Layer multiple garlands
One garland is fine… but multiple garlands? Chef’s kiss. Layering different textures instantly adds depth, movement, and that really rich, expensive look.
2. Choose your configuration
Decide your vibe early on. Do you love a more asymmetrical swoop with heavy volume on one side? Or are you team balanced and centered? Both are gorgeous—you just need to commit to the style from the start.
3. Add stems + florals for volume
This is your “go crazy” moment. Stems add height, color, and dimension. And if you want your entire home to feel cohesive, pull colors or textures from your Christmas tree into your mantle. This works especially well for asymmetrical designs.
4. Add lights for movement
Fairy lights or twinkle lights woven through the garlands make everything feel magical at night. It adds the prettiest subtle movement—trust me, this step is underrated.
5. Finish with bows + stockings
Bows on the garland and chunky stockings are having a moment this year. They add softness, whimsy, and that cozy designer touch that makes the whole space feel intentional.
Let me know if you want me to break down how to layer multiple garlands next! ✨🎄

25 Interior Design Tips for 2025 — Part 12
Let’s talk blank walls — because they’re either your best friend… or your biggest design headache. Here are 5 designer-approved ways to fill (or not fill) that space:
1. A large statement piece
The easiest, most versatile option. A single oversized art piece works anywhere — your entryway, above your bed, or on a random empty wall. And if you want to elevate it? Add sconces on each side for instant drama.
2. A gallery wall
I’m not obsessed with gallery walls, but if you’re going to do one, do it right:
• Anchor it with a piece of furniture
• Keep the frames close together (tight spacing = intentional, airy spacing = chaos)
3. Matted frames
My personal favorite. Matted frames instantly add customization and that high-end, elevated feel. They work over a bed, behind nightstands, down a hallway — truly such a chic, timeless option.
4. Mirrors
Mirrors are your secret weapon in dark or dull areas. I love them in dining rooms and entryways to add light + depth.
🚫 But absolutely never put a mirror above a bed — it always looks off and throws the whole room’s balance.
5. Leave it blank
Yes… really. Sometimes the most designer move is to let the room breathe. If you’re unsure how to decorate a wall, choosing to leave it empty is always better than filling it with something you don’t love.

✨ BEST OF 2025 • PT 2 ✨
Today we’re talking about one of my MOST asked-about routines:
my super simple, super effective laundry routine — the one that makes everything clean, soft, and fresh without spending $$$. 🧺✨
If your laundry has ever felt stiff, dingy, or just off… this routine will change your life.
Here’s exactly what I do ⬇️
1. My washer is the Elite Trio
This thing is a powerhouse. It cleans SO well that you don’t need tons of product.
2. Detergent: LESS is more
I use Persil laundry detergent and you only need ¼ cup.
Anything more than that = total waste + buildup on your clothes.
3. NO fabric softener… ever
Fabric softener doesn’t actually clean your clothes — it coats them.
Instead, I use white vinegar in the fabric softener compartment.
It cleans, sanitizes, brightens, and leaves everything naturally softer.
4. Borax = my holy grail
I sprinkle Borax directly on top of the clothes.
It’s a powerful laundry booster that:
• deep-cleans
• whitens
• removes buildup
• makes detergent work better
These three products? They last MONTHS and are insanely affordable.
5. If you love scent…
I shared my two favorite laundry scents that are seasonal right now.
Add them if you want that elevated, cozy vibe — totally optional.
6. Dryer routine = luxury hotel moment
Two things only:
• Wool dryer balls
• A few drops of my essential oil (boujee, fresh, and SO easy)
This is what gives everything that soft, clean-laundry smell without chemicals.
That’s it.
Simple, clean, inexpensive, effective.

How to Style Your Bedroom Pillows Like a Designer
If your bed ever feels “off” but you can’t figure out why… it’s probably the pillows 😅 Here are 4 designer-approved rules that make any bed look elevated instantly:
1. Configuration
Start by choosing your vibe:
Are you a minimalist girlie who loves clean lines?
Or do you lean more traditional with a full layered moment?
Your configuration sets the tone for everything else.
2. Symmetry
No matter your style, symmetry is the secret.
Matching pairs keep your bed balanced, intentional, and hotel-level pretty.
3. Sizing
Always build from largest to smallest.
Think: big Euros in the back → standard pillows → decorative accents in the front.
It creates depth and makes your bed feel plush and styled.
4. Layering
This is where the magic happens.
Mix color, texture, and pattern so your pillows feel curated—not flat.
Linen + velvet + a subtle stripe? Chef’s kiss.
Save this for your next bedding refresh and let me know what part you want next! 🛏✨

PART 10 ✨ Holiday Edition: How to Decorate Your Christmas Tree Like an Interior Designer (in 5 Easy Steps!)
If you want that designer, Pinterest-worthy Christmas tree… this is your step-by-step formula 🎄💫
1. Fluff, fluff, fluff
The most important step. If you don’t fluff properly, you’ll end up with gaps everywhere — and the fewer holes you have, the easier the rest of the tree is to decorate. Don’t skip this!
2. Add more lighting
Unless you splurged on the famous Home Depot tree, you need my Amazon lighting hack. Add extra string lights throughout your tree and the before/after is INSANE. Lighting is what makes a tree magical.
3. Garlands + ribbon
This is where the “interior designer” touch really begins. Add lots of garland and ribbon to create movement, dimension, and layers. If decorating a tree overwhelms you, break it into three vertical sections and decorate one at a time — game changer.
4. Ornaments
The fun part! Choose ornaments based on size, color, and texture so your tree feels balanced and intentional. This is how you get that full, styled, Pinterest-level look.
5. Foliage
Have any dead or flat spots? Add foliage stems to fill them in and create that lush, full shape. (And yes — this makes all the difference.)
