Before you buy anything, check the walkways: 30–36" for the main path, 14–18" from sofa to coffee table, 24" around a bed. Tight room? Move one piece before you replace it. Every number I use, room by room: yourdesignguide.substack.com… #interiordesign #smallspaces

Builder-grade house feel like a waiting room? Don't blame the gray floors yet. Tape your rug size on the floor and move the sofa onto it. Most new-build rooms just need a bigger rug and seating pulled off the wall. yourdesignguide.substack.com… #interiordesign #homedecor

Arriving by boat is the best way to see Catalina: the mountains first, then Avalon's harbor. A designer's guide to the island. designandthecityla.substack.… #Catalina #CaliforniaTravel

Laundry rooms don't have to be an afterthought. Layered neutrals, light oak + handmade tile made this one feel custom. yourdesignguide.substack.com… #LaundryRoom #InteriorDesign

Paint tip: before you pick a white, look at what's already in the room. The floor, counters and tile all push a white warmer or cooler. Read the undertones first, then sample it in your own light, morning and night. yourdesignguide.substack.com… #paintcolors #interiordesign

Closet tip: plan the inside before you pick the doors. List what you own (long hang, double hang, drawers, shelves), then run storage to the ceiling so nothing is wasted. My closet design guide: jillseidnerinteriordesign.co… #ClosetDesign #ClosetOrganization #InteriorDesign

Is your art too high? Center it at 57 to 60 inches, or 6 to 10 inches above the sofa, and make it about two thirds the width of the furniture below. Lower and bigger almost always looks better. More in my 30-Day Room Redesign Challenge: yourdesignguide.substack.com… #Renters #NewHome
