🌟🌟 ARE YOU CELEBRATING WITH US NEXT WEEK?!?!?!?! 🌟🌟 Join the 400th episode / 5 year celebration at: https://figandfarmathome.myflodesk.com/400 As we count down to Episode 400, I'm sharing one of the questions I get asked most often: "Where do you shop for affordable home decor?" The truth is, creating a beautiful home doesn't require a designer budget. It does require knowing where to shop, what to look for, and how to mix pieces from different sources to create a home that feels collected rather than cookie-cutter. In this episode, I'm counting down my five favorite places to shop for home decor on a budget and sharing exactly what I buy from each one. In this episode: #5: IKEAMore than just furniture! I'm sharing my favorite IKEA staples, including pillow forms, curtains, frames, plants, candles, kitchen storage, and the white dinner plates that serve as the foundation for nearly all of my tablescapes. #4: TargetOne of my favorite sources for throw pillows, blankets, and bath towels. You'll hear my favorite shopping strategy: finding inspiration from higher-end retailers and then looking for similar styles at a more approachable price point. #3: HomeGoodsThe perfect place for unique finds that aren't showing up in every home. I'm always on the hunt for picture frames, artwork, candles, and those unexpected treasures that make a home feel personal. #2: EtsyWhen I want artwork, handmade decor, custom pillow covers, or beautiful curtains, Etsy is my go-to. Yes, handmade pieces often cost more, but they bring character, craftsmanship, and uniqueness that mass-produced decor simply can't replicate. #1: ThriftingMy absolute favorite way to decorate on a budget. Thrifting is where curated homes are built—but only if you know what you're looking for. I'll share why understanding your aesthetic is the key to successful thrifting and how it can save you from frustration while helping you create a home that looks collected over time. // Links mentioned in show: // Become a Design Bestie by joining the newsletter: https://bit.ly/designbestie Email: hello@figandfarmathome.com Website: https://figandfarmathome.com Join The Collective (monthly membership): https://www.figandfarmathome.com/thecollective Book a Decorating SOS Coaching Call: https://www.figandfarmathome.com/decorating-sos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figandfarm/ FREE Facebook Community: https://www.bit.ly/design101group

The Difference Between a Decorated Room and a Designer Room Ever wonder why a room can have all the "right" furniture and decor but still feel unfinished? More often than not, the answer comes down to styling. In today's episode, I'm sharing the exact process I use to style coffee tables, consoles, dressers, shelves, kitchen counters, nightstands, and other flat surfaces so they look intentional rather than cluttered. Because here's the thing: styling isn't about adding more stuff. It's about creating visual interest, balance, and cohesion so your home feels thoughtfully designed. You'll learn how to: Determine the purpose of a flat surface before styling it Edit and curate decor so your styling doesn't become clutter Choose an anchor piece that grounds the entire vignette Use layering to create depth and visual interest Incorporate texture for a more collected, designer look Vary heights to keep your styling from feeling flat Repeat design elements throughout the room for cohesion Add the finishing touch that works in every decorating style If you've ever struggled with coffee table styling, shelf styling, console table decor, or simply making your home feel more polished, this episode will give you a practical framework you can use in any room of your home.HINT: This episode is directly tied to our 5th year/400th episode celebration, so be sure to give it a try on any flat surface in your home.

You know that feeling when your home is technically decorated… but it still doesn’t feel finished? Everything is in place. You’ve bought the furniture, hung some art, added a few pillows—but something still feels off. Not terrible. Just… incomplete. In this episode, I’m breaking down the 7 most common decorating mistakes that keep homes stuck in that “almost there” stage for years. And here’s the truth most people miss: it’s rarely about buying more things. It’s about a few key decisions that quietly affect how your entire home feels. Let’s get into it. 1. Decorating room-by-room instead of as a whole home When every room is designed in isolation, your home starts to feel disconnected. Even beautiful rooms won’t flow together if there’s no shared thread connecting them. 2. Hanging onto placeholder pieces too long That “we’ll replace it later” rug? The temporary lighting? The art you never really loved? These pieces quietly keep your home in limbo—and your eye registers that lack of intention. 3. Getting scale wrong (especially rugs, lighting, and art) Even well-designed rooms feel off when scale is wrong. Too-small rugs, undersized lighting, or timid art choices can make everything feel underwhelming. 4. Mixing styles without a bridge element You can mix styles beautifully—but without a unifying material, color, or shape language, the room starts to feel accidental instead of curated. 5. Playing it too safe with neutrals Safe doesn’t always mean successful. When everything is soft beige, gray, or white, rooms can lose depth, contrast, and personality. 6. Treating lighting as functional instead of foundational Lighting is often an afterthought, but it’s one of the most powerful design tools you have. Without layering and intention, even great rooms fall flat. 7. Not editing enough Most homes don’t struggle from a lack of decor—they struggle from too much. When every surface is filled, nothing gets to stand out. If your home feels “almost finished,” you don’t need a full redesign. You likely need clarity, editing, and a few intentional adjustments that shift how everything works together. Small changes can create a surprisingly big transformation. If this is the stage you’re in—where you can see what’s not working but aren’t sure what to do next—that’s exactly what I help with inside my coaching and programs. You don’t need more inspiration. You need a clear plan that connects your home together.

Today we’re diving into the five decorating questions everyone asks…but the answers aren’t always what people expect.

Because most decorating struggles aren’t actually about paint colors or throw pillows. They’re about confidence, clarity, decision fatigue, and trying to create a home that finally feels like YOU. In this episode, we’re talking about: Why Pinterest inspiration isn’t enough The hidden reason your home still feels incomplete Why trend-chasing creates disconnected spaces The truth about finding your design style The biggest decorating mistake I see over and over again If you’ve ever thought:“I know what I like…but I can’t make it work in my house,” this episode is for you.

AI is everywhere right now…including home decorating. From instant mood boards to room renderings and paint color suggestions, artificial intelligence is changing the way women approach decorating their homes. But is AI actually helping us create more beautiful homes…or is it making our spaces feel more generic? In this episode, we’re diving into the pros and cons of using AI in home design and talking honestly about what technology can do well—and what it completely misses. Because while AI can generate a gorgeous room in seconds, it doesn’t know your lifestyle, your budget, your pets, your memories, or the pieces you already own and love. Most importantly?It doesn’t know YOU. In this conversation, we explore: The biggest benefits of using AI for home decorating How AI can help you overcome design overwhelm Why AI is useful for paint colors, layouts, and visualizing possibilities The hidden downside of AI-generated homes Why trendy rooms often feel disconnected and impersonal How AI may be pulling women away from trusting their own design instincts The difference between a “Pinterest perfect” room and a home that feels personal and lived in Why your intuition still matters when decorating your home If you’ve ever wondered whether AI can truly replace a designer—or if it’s just another tool in your decorating toolbox—this episode is for you. Your home should reflect your story, not just the latest trends. ✨ Ready for personalized decorating help? Book a Decorating SOS Call and get expert guidance for your space without the overwhelm.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed just looking around your home…this episode is for you. We’re kicking off a 3-part Spring Cleaning Series with the most important first step: decluttering. Because before you organize or deep clean, you need to clear the excess. And if you’ve ever struggled to get started—or felt stuck halfway through—it’s not because you’re lazy or unmotivated. There’s actually a reason clutter feels so heavy. In this episode, I’m joined by guest expert Emily McDermott, and we’re diving into the science behind clutter—including how it can increase cortisol levels and contribute to stress, overwhelm, and decision fatigue. But more importantly, we’re giving you a simple, realistic way to move forward. ✨ Inside This Episode, We Cover: Why clutter impacts your mental load (and what’s happening in your brain) Where to start when everything feels overwhelming Practical, doable steps to begin decluttering your home Common mistakes to avoid (that keep you stuck) How to work through emotional clutter (the things that are hard to let go of) What aspirational clutter is—and why it’s keeping you from a home that actually works for your life How to make progress without needing hours of uninterrupted time ✨ Why This Matters Decluttering isn’t just about getting rid of things—it’s about creating space. Space to think clearly.Space to breathe.Space to actually enjoy your home again. And when you start here, everything else—organizing, decorating, cleaning—becomes easier and more effective. ✨ What’s Next in the Series This episode is part one of our Spring Cleaning Series: Decluttering (this episode) Organization (coming next) Cleaning hacks and tips JOIN The Spring Cleaning Challenge...starting Monday, April 13th Make sure to follow along so you can move through each step with clarity and confidence. ✨ Ready for Help with Your Home?

What if the reason your home feels “off”…has nothing to do with what you’ve bought—and everything to do with what your eye doesn’t know where to look at? In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most important (and misunderstood) elements of interior design: the focal point. Because contrary to what you might think, your focal point doesn’t have to be the first thing you see when you walk into a room…It doesn’t have to be the biggest piece…And it definitely doesn’t have to be the most expensive or “perfect” item you own. Instead, a well-designed focal point simply gives your eye a place to land—and creates a sense of intention and calm in your space. If your home has ever felt cluttered, unfinished, or just a little “off,” this episode will help you understand why—and exactly how to fix it. Inside this episode, you’ll learn: What a focal point actually is (and what it’s not) How to create a focal point without buying all new decor 6 simple, budget-friendly ways to draw the eye and elevate your space We’ll walk through six easy ways to create a focal point using what you already have (or with simple, intentional updates), including: Oversized artwork Statement walls Contrast in color and texture Layered textiles Intentional lighting Highlighting architectural features By the end of this episode, you’ll start to see your space differently—and know exactly where to focus (literally) to make your home feel more pulled together. ✨ Ready for Help with Your Own Home? If you’re tired of guessing what your space needs and want a clear, personalized plan… A Decorating SOS Call is your next step. Together, we’ll look at your room, identify what’s missing (including your focal point), and map out exactly what to do next—so you can stop second-guessing and start seeing real progress. 👉 Book your call here: https://figandfarmathome.com/decorating-sos // Links mentioned in show: // Become a Design Bestie by joining the newsletter: https://bit.ly/designbestie Email: hello@figandfarmathome.com Website: https://figandfarmathome.com Join The Collective (monthly membership): https://www.figandfarmathome.com/thecollective Book a Decorating SOS Coaching Call: https://www.figandfarmathome.com/decorating-sos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figandfarm/ FREE Facebook Community: https://www.bit.ly/design101group

Today, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing a real Decorating SOS call with Rebecca, a homeowner who’s ready to evolve her style.

If your rooms feel “almost done” but never quite finished… if decisions feel overwhelming… if you’ve made a few expensive mistakes that shook your confidence… this episode is for you. Because the truth is this: You’re not bad at decorating. You’re missing design clarity.

Decorating isn’t about perfection.It’s about clarity, direction, and confidence.

How to Plan a Room from Start to Finish: 10 Essential Steps for Stress-Free Home Decorating Do you ever find yourself staring at a room in your home wondering, “Where do I even start?” If you’ve been buying pieces you love but still can’t seem to finish a room, the problem likely isn’t your style — it’s that you don’t have a clear home decorating plan. In today’s episode, I’m walking you through the 10 essential steps to creating a foolproof home decorating plan so you can stop guessing, stop overspending, and finally finish your rooms with confidence. This episode is your practical roadmap for how to plan a room from start to finish — without copying Pinterest, wasting money, or getting stuck halfway through. If you’ve been searching for: How to decorate a room step by step Where to start when decorating a room How to create a cohesive home How to plan a room makeover How to finish a room you’ve already started You’re in the right place. In This Episode, You’ll Learn the 10 Essential Steps: 1. Know Your Aesthetic Before you move a single piece of furniture, you need clarity on your personal style. We’ll talk about how to define your aesthetic without copying someone else’s home. 2. Take Inventory of Your Room Learn how to assess what you already own so you can decorate intentionally instead of impulsively. 3. Define the Goals for Your Space What is this room actually for? Function matters just as much as beauty when creating a cohesive home. 4. Use Inspiration — Without Copying & Pasting Pinterest and inspiration photos are tools, not templates. I’ll show you how to use them wisely. 5. Understand Expectation vs. Reality Be honest about your time, energy, and skill set so your decorating plan stays realistic and doable. 6. Create a Flexible Decorating Budget You need a starting number — but you also need room to adjust. I’ll explain how to plan financially without boxing yourself in. 7. Follow a Step-by-Step Roadmap A room doesn’t come together all at once. I’ll show you how to build in “pit stops” along the way to reassess and adjust your plan. 8. Set a Realistic Timeline Most unfinished rooms stall because expectations are off. We’ll talk about what’s actually reasonable. 9. Execute with Confidence Once the plan is in place, you can move forward without second-guessing every decision. 10. Celebrate the Finished Space Finishing a room is an accomplishment — and celebration builds confidence for the next one. Why This Matters Most women don’t struggle with creativity — they struggle with clarity. Without a clear decorating roadmap, it’s easy to: Overspend on the wrong pieces Buy decor without a plan Leave rooms half-finished Feel overwhelmed every time you walk into the space This 10-step decorating plan gives you structure so your home can feel cohesive, intentional, and finished.
