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.

Step into the story behind House Lights by Alice Lane, a lighting collection rooted in vintage inspiration and designed for modern homes. In this episode of Dear Alice, the team shares the design references, material choices, and thoughtful details that make this launch feel timeless yet fresh. We spotlight key pieces—from the Maude Sconce in Red, the “red lip” of the room, to the softly bubbled Caviar Flush Mounts with their tinted, vintage-style glass. You’ll also hear about the bestselling Penny Lamp, now introduced in Calacatta Viola alongside crystal, alabaster, and brass, and the evolution of the Alys Flush Mount, born from the success of the original sconce. Throughout the conversation, we unpack the shared bull nose detail that ties the collection together and explain why these subtle curves matter. Perfect for designers and design lovers alike, this episode offers a refined look at how lighting can shape mood, history, and timeless style.
