You know that feeling when you walk into a room and something just... feels right?
Not because it’s perfectly decorated. Not because everything matches.
Just because it feels like somewhere you actually want to be.
That’s ambiance. And I promise, every single home can have it.
It’s not a design budget thing. It’s not a square footage thing. It’s a knowing what to do thing.
And that’s exactly what this series is for. 🕯️

Let me know if you want the links and don’t forget to send this to the friend who keeps saying her home never feels cozy enough. 👇

THE RUG SIZE GUIDE YOU ACTUALLY NEEDED

okay I am saving you from the most common decorating mistake I see (and have made myself, multiple times, no shame).

Living Room
Your rug should fit ALL front legs of your sofa + chairs on it. If you can only fit a coffee table on it… it’s too small. As a general rule: 8x10 for most living rooms, 9x12 for larger sectional situations.

Bedroom
Go bigger than you think. You’ll regret it. You want an 8x10 minimum so when you step out of bed, you land on rug, not cold floor. The rug should extend at least 18–24” on each side of the bed.

Kitchen Runner
Should run the length of your counter area
.
Entryway
Wider than your door. At minimum. Nothing sadder than a tiny square mat in a big entryway. 3x5 is usually the starting point.

Dining Room
The rug needs to be big enough that chairs stay ON it even when pulled out. 8x10 for a 4-person table, 9x12 for a 6-person. If your chairs slide off the edge every time someone sits down… you know what to do.

Save this for the next time you’re rug shopping 🖤 and send it to someone who just moved, they’ll need it!

honest review: the ambiance is a full 20/10. Like you ever say no to grabbing a drink on your favourite patio kind of ambiance.

The heat output 2/10 - I honestly thought it would be better. You have to sit SO close to get any warmth from it

Starting the fire 0/10. I smelled like a camp fire after. Maybe I did it wrong - open to feedback.

But seriously, I kind of think the ambiance is worth the starting it issues 🙈.

Let me know what you think in the comments. Would you keep it? Or no?

POV: you’re Canadian and patio season is FINALLY on its way.

Obviously the first thing you do, inventory your outdoor furniture and decor. The second thing you do, assess what you need. The third thing you do, if you need a new umbrella, add this one to cart 😍.

@Quince you’re going to be making me change my sheets daily - I cannot choose!! What do you think - brown bedding or green bedding?

The brown bed is:
- European Linen Sheet Set in Sand
- European Linen Duvet Cover in Espresso
- European Linen Cotton Stitch Quilt Set in Espresso

The green bed is:
- European Linen Sheet Set in Dusty Olive
- European Linen Duvet Cover in Dusty Olive
- European Linen Box Quilt Set in Dusty Olive

#LTKstyletip #LTKhome #LTKcanada

If your bed never quite looks like the photos you save... I've been there.

All you need to do is pick from the same colour family, just vary the textures.
And @Quince makes it easy with so many colours and fabric options to choose from.

The sheets and duvet covers you see are all European Linen. The green is in olive, and the brown is in sand and espresso

@Quince, making me steal the sheets I got for the guest bedroom. Their colours and fabrics and all so gorgeous, I am going to have to change my bedding every day to get the most of it!!
Here’s what you see:

- European Linen Duvet Cover in Dusty Olive
- European Linen Box Quilt Set in Dusty Olive

We’re working overtime and solving more than one problem here. No more saggy duvets. And holy crap doesn’t this look like a fluffy cloud? Almost like I have two inserts in my duvet.

20/10 recommend. It didn’t budge last night. It’s still as fluffy as ever.

I did a 120”x120” insert for my king bed. Any bigger and I almost think it would get bunchy and annoying. But anything is possibly until you try.

Don’t forget to save this for later and share it with a friend who’s looking for that cloud like bed without any saggy duvets.

Jokes aside I genuinely cannot think of a more justified use of a Wednesday afternoon.
Because here’s the thing: some people decompress with a run. Some people call their therapist. I rearrange furniture and open packages and stare at my living room until it finally feels like mine again.
And if that’s you too? Welcome to the home obsessed decompress club (we can work shop that name) 😆.

Save this for the next time someone asks why you bought the thing or rearranged your living room again. 👆 And send it to the person in your life who gets it.

The discovery I made at the end ☠️

Makes perfect sense.

Such a pretty decor piece that could thrive anywhere. On your nightstand. Coffee table. Shelf. Kitchen counter. And we know when something is pretty and adds ambiance it’s a 20/10 for me.

patio season is here and i shopped everywhere so you don’t have to

fair warning — patio finds move fast. prices go up and stock disappears the second the sun comes out in canada. if something catches your eye, don’t wait.

Some might call it excessive. I call it passionate.

The sun is giving LIFE and I don’t know about you but I am thinking this summer is the perfect time to transport to the French countryside.

Gimmie all the outdoor pots, layer them together and fill them with lavender. Ughhhh I’m so excited it hurts.

I linked this one and a ton of other cute ones

for the mom who thinks her living room aesthetic is a thing of the past 🖤
$269 dresser from Walmart Canada. in the living room. full of kids’ toys.
looks like it costs $1,800. nobody but your bank account knows that.
save this before it sells out 👆 and send it to every mom who needs to hear this

PS I will be reimbursed for this dresser as part of a future collaboration with Walmart but I would 1000% buy this on my own accord the price is so good.

Shelf styling made easy-ish.

Truthfully I think shelves are one of the hardest things to style so first and foremost, give yourself some grace.

Adding a few extra tidbits for you:

- start with a colour palette - pick 2-3 colours and repeat them. It’s what makes everything feel intentional instead of random

- go big, not many - a few oversized pieces beat a bunch of small ones every time. too many little
items = visual clutter

- vary your heights - mix tall, medium, and short. stack books horizontally to create a riser for smaller pieces

- layer in texture - wood, glass, woven, ceramic. the mix is what makes it look expensive

- lean art at the back - propping a frame behind your accessories adds depth without any extra effort

- edit ruthlessly - if it looks just as good with less, go with less. breathing room is part of the design.

Also, the intro of this reel adapted from the ultra talented @lillianavazquez - if you don’t follow her for fashion advice, what are you doing?!

i did the group chat research so you don’t have to.

every single find you just saw is linked storefront all ship to canada 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Episode 5 - Somewhere between becoming a mom and just trying to get through the day, the gym stopped being realistic for me and I had to get honest about that.

Because it’s never just the workout.
It’s the bag you have to pack.
The drive.
The shower after.
The hour workout that suddenly turned into two. Two hours out of a day where you had no time to give?! Two hours of something you don’t even love doing in the first place? That math never adds up.

So I stopped trying to force myself back into something that wasn’t working and started asking what movement could actually look like in my real life.

Turns out it looks a little different than I expected. But my body is moving every day and that’s the whole point.

If you’re a busy person trying to figure out what “taking care of yourself” actually looks like in practice, this series is for you. Follow along. 🤍

This seasons patio finds that no one will be able to stop talking about are here and ready for action.

I bought these Amazon Canada home finds and styled them in my actual home. Here’s how they actually look 👀

From a $22 candlestick set to a brass pepper mill I found for half the price. 🤍

which one surprised you most in real life? 👇

#LTKcanada #LTKhome

Let me be clear at the quality of these made me want to pay $100 for them. The fact that I’ve found them for 1/4 of the price is insanity.

But also, let’s never ever mention how much I paid for them again and just enjoy this price while it lasts.

Deal? Deal.

You know the drill. ❤️
