Fix My Room: Small Changes Make a Big Impact in this Living Room

In this first episode of my new "Fix My Room" series, I take you behind the scenes of a real-life design coaching session with Kathleen. Join me as I help her transform a frustrating living room into a peaceful, light-filled space by focusing on what truly brings her joy. We'll explore how a few strategic changes—removing heavy curtains, relocating clutter, and finding the perfect rug—can completely shift how you experience a room. This isn't about spending lots of money, but about creating intentional, meaningful design that reflects your personal style.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Design is about personal experience, not just following trends or filling a space with stuff

  1. Sometimes less is more: removing clutter and unnecessary items can create a sense of peace and openness

  2. Investing in quality pieces (like a good rug) that you truly love is more important than constantly buying and replacing items

  3. Take time to understand what you want from a space emotionally before making design decisions

  4. Natural light and simplicity can transform a room's feel more effectively than extensive renovations
