Dear Alice | Interior Design

Are you making common space planning mistakes that are holding your home back? In this episode of Dear Alice, we break down the top 5 space planning mistakes in interior design and how to avoid them when designing or renovating your home. We cover why vantage points matter the moment you walk into a room, explain how pushing furniture against the walls can make rooms feel disconnected, and dive into one of the most frequent design issues: scale, from rugs and sofas that are too small to choosing the wrong proportions for the space. Finally, we tackle a classic but costly mistake: not measuring before designing, sharing best-practice walkway dimensions, and why carrying a measuring tape (and keeping notes on your phone) is a non-negotiable habit for great design. Whether you’re working with an interior designer or planning your space on your own, this episode is packed with practical interior design tips, space planning rules, and professional insights to help you create a home that feels intentional, functional, and beautifully designed.
