Paint doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It has to work with your actual light (day and evening), your architecture, your fixed finishes and furniture.
But most of all, it should be used in ways that promote your wellbeing. Always start with how you want the space to feel and be intentional in your color choices.

Keep this framework handy for your next project.

🎥 Design Horrors - Episode 9
Common interior design mistakes when choosing a paint scheme and tips to make the best of your space.

Some questions I’ve been sitting with lately.
I’m so tired of seeing these false narratives being pushed across design media and creator feeds:
“Expensive looking things I would buy as an Interior designer”, “Your house looks cheap, this is how to fix it”,
“Paint colors that make your home look the most expensive”.

All that content isn’t created to help you achieve a better design, it’s made to prey directly on status anxiety and our worst comparison habits just to farm clicks. Oh these are good hooks! They always work. But such content is turning living spaces into performative assets and tricks us into thinking our REAL homes are constantly lacking.

We don’t all use our spaces the same way. A home should be designed around how you actually live, move, and function within your means – not some arbitrary standard of performative luxury.

True luxury is intimacy, function, and confidence.

Happy to report that the 70/20/10 formula works just as well in interior design as it does when building a wardrobe.

Before buying a single piece of furniture or decor, take a second to ask yourself: How do I want my space to feel? And what do I actually want on display?

Is it your books? A record collection? A weird family heirloom you’ll never part with?

Those are the things that reflect your real personality and interests, give them a central place in your home.

And BEFORE you buy a single throw pillow or decor piece, get your fundamentals and layout anchors right first: the right-sized rug, comfortable seating with proper scale, and good lighting. Accessories won’t fix a bad foundation!

Check out the previous episodes for deep dives on those fundamentals, and stay tuned for Episode 9,where I’ll be tackling a common mistake people make when picking paint colors.

Does hiding your TV look better? I won’t lie, yes. 🙂‍↕️
But having a visible TV in the living room doesn’t make your home look cheap either... Bad scale, an oversized TV as the sole focal point, wrong hanging heights, and zero styling do.

Another quick golden rule to remember:
your media unit should be wider than your TV. Ideally, the screen shouldn’t take up more than 2/3 of the console’s total width underneath.

Pick the idea that works best for your space and make it your own, or share these tips with a friend who needs them – and stay tuned for episode 8!

Once you know the rules, you know the difference between breaking them by accident and doing it with absolute confidence. 😏
There are a million ways to bend these guidelines with intention, so consider this your baseline.

And remember: art should make you feel something long before it "fits your decor." If it’s weird, unexpected, or unconventional, but it sparks something in you? It’s probably because it belongs.

I’ve never bought into the “rule” that white paint automatically makes a space feel larger. In fact, in a low-light room, it usually tends to look flat and gray because there isn’t enough natural light to bring it to life.
Interior Design rules are just guidelines, not laws.

If there’s one rule you should follow, it’s prioritizing atmosphere and feeling first.
�If you want cozy and dramatic: Go dark! In a small room, dark paint makes it harder to discern where walls begin and end. It gives the illusion that they stretch further out than they actually do.
�If you want an airy vibe: go with complex or chromatic neutrals that will bring depth into the space and blur the edges of the room. Or pick a white with soft, warm undertones rather than stark builder-grade white. Just note that It works best when the entire space is painted the same soft shade and clutter is kept to a minimum.
�If you’re stuck with white walls: Don’t panic! You can add warmth with colorful curtains or lay down a vibrant rug. The color will actually reflect off the white walls and drench the room in a soft tint. Also, opt for one large piece of art or a wall hanging over a gallery wall. A single large focal point brings instant scale and color into a small space.

On that note stay tune for next weeks’s Episode – it’ll be about mistakes we make with our art.

Part 2 of paint tricks to shape your space finally delivered
 We all deal with quirks in our spaces, but from experience, constraints are the best fuel for creativity and the most memorable interior design solutions rarely come from huge budgets - although that helps tremendously - they happen when you have to get creative. 
Use these few tricks to shape your space without renovating: 
• Statement Ceilings: They can drop the room height and ground the room, but a smart use of color theory can let you pull them off even with low ceilings.
• Accentuation: Want bigger doors or window frames? Extend your paint an inch (2.5 cm) or more outside the frame to fake extra width and make them look more substantial.
• Lines: Vertical heightens, horizontal stretches. Dead simple but true.
• Color Zoning: Especially effective in open concepts or studio spaces that need defined zones. It’s like creating a room within a room without building any physical walls.
• Sheen Effects: Playing with finishes is the final touch of any interior designer! Layer them strategically to create a sophisticated and multi-dimensional space.
 DIYers beware of high-gloss paint though! It doesn’t behave like regular paint and will highlight every single defect on a wonky wall. Leave this finish to seasoned pros. Trust me.

These slides are just a few references but now your creativity has to do the rest. If you’re really stumped, these are exactly the kind of tricks I tackle with my clients. Inquire at the link in my bio if you need personalized help.

The most common mistake I see in people’s homes always has to do with scale.
Scale is everything in interior design. So if you were eyeing a 5x8 area rug, this is your sign to size up. For a living room go at least for an 8x10 or a 9x12.
For big, open-concept spaces, place all your furniture legs on the rug to instantly anchor the room.
If you’re unsure, use painters tape on the floor to map out the rug’s size. It’ll give you a better idea of the scale.

Also, please skip those washable synthetic rugs! They always look cheap and tend to warp. Plus they release microplastics everywhere and get worn quickly.�Instead, invest in durable, natural fibers like wool, cotton, or jute from the start. I know wool rugs can be expensive, but a good hand-knotted wool rug will last you for decades, a synthetic rug won’t.

To set you up for success, keep these in mind:

• Get a rug pad. It keeps the rug from sliding, makes it feel nice and luxurious underfoot, and extends the life of the fibers.

• Always Check your door clearance and make sure your doors have enough space to glide smoothly over the rug.

• In high traffic areas (and for easier maintenance), go low pile. They are easy to clean, don’t trap crumbs, and high-quality wool naturally repels stains anyway.�
Hope these tips helped! Stay tuned for Episode 4 🎥

Maybe you don’t need a sledgehammer to reshape or fix a quirky space? Sometimes all you need is a paintbrush.
Color can completely change how a room is experienced.

The science behind it is quite simple: your eye reacts to color depth and contrast:
Lighter, cooler tones recede, while deeper, warmer tones advance toward you. By strategically positioning these tones, you can visually reshape your space’s proportion to your advantage.

Just keep this design rule in mind: everything single contrast create a hard line your eye will stop on and have to process. Paint everything the same hue and suddenly that visual cut disappears to create calm or focus.
Conversely, choosing high-contrast can tailor a space and bring structure and interest.

Swipe through to see 5 ways to reshape your rooms’ proportions without renovating.

1- Color drenching :
By painting the walls, trim, and ceiling the exact same shade, you remove the visual cuts and corners of the room. The boundaries fade and create an enveloping atmosphere.

This works perfectly in small bedrooms to instantly cancel the white box effect and promote rest and a sense of safety.

Take color drenching a step further by matching your paint hue to your room’s materials. It gives this bathroom a boutique hotel en-suite vibe and looks so fun and refreshing!

If you have big windows but a north facing wall, go bold with deep, warm hues that will neutralize the cold light temperature and will envelop the space to make it feel extremely cozy.

2- Accent Wall : The most misunderstood one of all I suppose. When done on a single drywall, it feels disconnected and unfinished. But when used intentionally with a deep color, it can make a back wall advance toward you. Useful trick to know to shorten the depth of a long hallway for instance.
Alternatively, it can be used to accentuate a specific feature. I personally prefer it that way.

Did you squish your furniture against the walls?
If so, your living room is probably suffering from "Waiting Room Syndrome".
Don't worry, this is a very common design mistake that can be fixed easily.

Try these simple tips to instantly improve your living room flow:

Large Spaces: Don't be afraid to float the sofa and seating to create intimate conversation zones. Layer in a floor lamp and side tables next to the sofa to make the room feel intentionally designed, cozy, and grounded (this works great in open-concept floor plans).

Small Spaces: You can keep your couch against the wall, or pull it just 2 to 3 inches away from the drywall. That tiny gap creates a shadow line that tricks the eye into thinking the room is bigger than it actually is.

See you next week for episode 3!
