How I Help Clients Who Feel Stuck With Their Space

There’s a sentence I hear all the time:

“I don’t hate my home… I just don’t know what to do next.”

If you’ve ever felt that way, you’re not alone.

Most people don’t reach out to a designer because they want something extravagant. They reach out because they feel overwhelmed, unsure, or stuck in decision paralysis.

And that feeling can linger for months — sometimes years.

Let’s talk about why that happens — and how I help.

Why So Many People Feel Stuck

Feeling stuck usually comes from one of three places:

1. Too Many Choices

Paint colors. Sofa styles. Rug sizes. Layout options.
The internet gives you endless inspiration — but very little clarity.

2. Fear of Making the Wrong Decision

Furniture is an investment. Renovations are expensive.
It’s natural to worry about getting it wrong.

3. “Almost There” Syndrome

You’ve bought a few things. Rearranged furniture. Tried new decor.
But the room still doesn’t feel finished.

That’s where thoughtful design makes all the difference.

What Working With Me Actually Looks Like

When clients reach out, they don’t need to have everything figured out. That’s my job.

Here’s what I focus on:

Clarity First

Before choosing anything, we identify:

  • What’s not working

  • What you want the space to feel like

  • How the room needs to function for your real life

Clarity eliminates overwhelm.

Confident Decisions

I guide you through selections step by step — whether that’s:

  • Paint

  • Furniture

  • Layout

  • Lighting

  • Finishes

You don’t have to second-guess every choice. You’ll know it works because it’s part of a cohesive plan.

A Space That Feels Like You

Good design isn’t about trends.
It’s about creating a home that feels calm, welcoming, and personal.

That’s the part I love most — watching clients relax in a space that finally feels right.

In-Person Design or E-Design

I work with clients in two ways:

In-Person Design

For local clients who want hands-on support from concept to completion.

E-Design

For clients anywhere who want a clear plan, curated selections, and step-by-step guidance — all online.

Both options provide the same thoughtful approach — just delivered differently.

You Don’t Have to Stay Stuck

If you’ve been thinking about your home a lot lately — wondering what to change, what to keep, or where to even begin — that’s usually your sign.

One Small Change that Makes a Room Feel Finished

There’s a phrase I hear from clients all the time:

“I like my home… it just doesn’t feel finished.”

And almost every time, the solution is simpler than they expect.

More often than not, the missing piece isn’t new furniture, a renovation, or a complete redesign — it’s lighting.

Why lighting matters more than you think

Lighting has a powerful effect on how a space feels. A room that relies on a single overhead light can feel flat, harsh, and unfinished — even if the furniture and décor are beautiful.

Layered lighting creates warmth, depth, and comfort. It helps a space feel intentional rather than accidental.

This is one of the first things I mention when I walk into a client’s home.

The easiest lighting fix you can make today

If your room feels “almost there,” try this simple shift:

  • Add one table lamp or floor lamp

  • Use a warm bulb (around 2700K)

  • Turn off overhead lighting in the evenings

That one change alone can instantly soften a room and make it feel more welcoming — especially in living rooms, bedrooms, and family spaces.

Lighting isn’t just functional. It’s emotional. It affects how we relax, connect, and unwind at the end of the day.

When lighting still doesn’t feel right

If you’ve added lamps and your space still doesn’t feel finished, the issue may be:

  • Scale (lamps too small or too large)

  • Placement

  • Balance across the room

  • Or how lighting works with your furniture layout

These are the kinds of details I help clients with every day — both through in-person design and e-design services.

If your home feels unfinished and you’re not sure what to do next, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I help clients make confident, stress-free design decisions so their homes feel calm, comfortable, and truly theirs.

7 Ways to Pick the Perfect Area Rug

So I’ve talked alot about updating your indoor and outdoor spaces, but lets talk about the one thing that ties everything together: the area rug!

When I’m designing a room the rug is one of the last selections I make because it allows me to evaluate all the colors, pattersn, and textures going on, and then use the area rug as the final element to bring the whole room together. Area Rugs are often an underused item in large wall to wall carpet areas, but yes you can place an area rug on top of carpet. It brings on a visual stability and grounding of the room. So my advice is always use an area rug in your space no matter what your floor material is.

Sometimes it can seem hard to find the right rug, so I’ve included 7 Ways to Pick the Perfect Area Rug, and then a Shop the Look board with some of my favorite rugs! Enjoy!


Here are 7 easy ways to help you pick the perfect area rug:

  1. Determine the purpose: Decide if you need an area rug for comfort, style, or to define a space.

  2. Measure your space: Measure the area you want to cover and choose a rug that fits the dimensions.

  3. Consider the color scheme: Choose a rug that complements or contrasts with the colors in your room.

  4. Think about texture: Decide if you want a plush, shaggy, or flat weave rug based on the texture you prefer.

  5. Choose the right material: Consider the durability, maintenance requirements, and feel of the rug when choosing the material.

  6. Decide on a pattern: Choose a rug with a pattern that adds interest to your space or a solid color rug that complements your decor.

  7. Set your budget: Determine how much you are willing to spend and choose a rug that fits your budget without compromising quality.

So if your updating your space outside or inside I hope these tips will help you find the perfect rug. When I’m designing a room the area rug is usually one of the last things a buy, because it allows me to evaluate all the colors and patterns of the current space and then use the rug to tie everything together!

10 Ways to Update Your Home for Spring

So I don’t know what the weather looks like in your neighborhood, but here in my neck of the woods Spring has yet to show its face. A long snowy winter has been definitely needed, but I’ve got a huge case of Spring Fever. Since Springs coming along slowly, its time to create my own Spring inside my home and help brighten my view. I know some of you are probably feeling the same way so this week I created a list of ‘10 Ways to Update Your Home for Spring’.

I’ve also Included a list with links of some of my favorite Spring pillows. Pillows are one of the easiest ways to bring in some color and update your space.


Here are 10 easy and affordable ways to update your home for spring:

  1. Add pops of color: Swap out your winter decor for brighter and more vibrant colors. Think pastel shades, bright yellows, and greens to bring a fresh and cheerful touch to your home.

  2. Bring in fresh flowers: Nothing says spring like fresh flowers. Add a vase of tulips, daffodils or cherry blossoms to your living spaces to bring in a bit of nature's beauty.

  3. Update your bedding: Swap out your heavy winter comforter for a lighter quilt or duvet cover in a bright, cheerful color to give your bedroom a spring refresh.

  4. Add outdoor elements: Bring the outside in by adding outdoor elements like wicker baskets, sisal rugs, and rattan furniture. These natural textures are perfect for spring and will give your home a fresh, relaxed look.

  5. Switch up your curtains: Trade in your heavy winter curtains for something light and flowy. Sheer curtains or light-colored drapes will help bring more natural light into your home and create an airy feel.

  6. Create a spring centerpiece: A simple spring centerpiece can instantly update your dining table. Try a vase of fresh flowers, a bowl of lemons or limes, or a collection of colorful candles.

  7. Add some greenery: Bring the outdoors in by adding some greenery to your home. Houseplants like spider plants, snake plants, and peace lilies are easy to care for and add a touch of spring to any room.

  8. Update your throw pillows: Switch out your winter throw pillows for something lighter and brighter. Look for pillows in pastel shades or with floral prints to bring a bit of spring to your living room.
