THIS. ⁠
⁠
Don't wait for when you finally have the money to splurge on your home. 𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘸. You'll be surprised how a few tweaks with cheap finds or even things you already own or can get for free (aka twigs from a walk outside, or even weeds that have grown in your garden) can add that beautiful touch that makes you enjoy your home a little bit more.⁠
⁠
Thanks to @studiomcgee for highlighting something I've always believed in!

A good rule of thumb when hanging up art: The cent

A good rule of thumb when hanging up art: The center of your art should normally be at eye level.⁠
⁠
But what if you're short, and the person you live with is tall? Or vice versa? This was the dilemma of one of our clients who lived in Germany.⁠
⁠
When we send out deliverables to our #edesign clients, we also give them elevations for how to hang art and other wall fixtures—with measurements. ⁠
⁠
So you won't even need to think about where to hang up your art. All you need to do is follow the "putting it all together" checklist we will provide you, together with the requisite plans and measurements you will need to execute our designs all by yourself. ⁠
⁠
Check out our blog for how an eDesign project is done, and see if this is a good fit for your needs. ⁠

I had an online design consult sometime back with an instructor who was preparing for distance learning. She had set up a small console in her bedroom, but her problem was that her back was facing the bed; which meant she needed to fix the bed early every single morning (ain't nobody got time for that!!!) so that her students wouldn't think she's a slob. She also didn't feel like it reflected her authority over students that well (how would 𝘺𝘰𝘶 feel if you see your teacher's bed behind her while in a Zoom class?). ⁠
⁠
She didn't know where to place the desk, especially since this particular console she's using is quite long.⁠
⁠
So she got on an online consult with me, and we considered different spots before finally settling on a corner in front of a window. Because it was such a tight spot, we needed to get her a new desk that was much smaller. We looked online for options and settled instead on a design that she can have customized by her own contractor. ⁠
⁠
We also discussed how she can style the areas behind her that could be visible from within the Zoom frame. ⁠
⁠
A couple of weeks later—and a week shy of the first day of classes—she sent me these photos (swipe right!) showing the finished product! Doesn't it look lovely? 🥰⁠
⁠
Oh, the things you can talk about, the solutions you could come up with, in only 60 minutes! ⁠

I've always advocated for styling with one's own things. We don't always have millionaire budgets, especially when we have many other financial responsibilities. ⁠
⁠
So bring out your personal stuff—things you own, and are proud to display—like favorite books. Or how about items that remind you of a particular memory, for example, a golden bird figurine that you bought during a trip out of town? Even the plants you h̶o̶a̶r̶d̶e̶d̶ during lockdown are worth displaying (just don't forget to water 'em or bring them out into the sunshine—if needed!).⁠
⁠
This is also another reason why I advocate having a combination of both closed and open storage. Cabinets allow you to keep the "unpretty" things stored behind closed doors, while open shelves give you permission to display the items that tell your story or style.

Have you read my most recent blog post on how an #eDesign project works? Click the link in my bio to see why our Singapore-based client gave us such wonderful feedback on this particular #onlineinteriordesign project. ⁠
⁠
I'm also donating 5% of all new eDesign projects booked for December 2020 until February 2021 to Kaya Natin PH (a partner foundation of the Office of the Vice President of the Philippines) and the Philippine Animal Welfare Society, who are conducting rescue and relief operations to areas and provinces affected by the two recent supertyphoons. I still have slots left for December, and am already waitlisting projects for January and February 2021. If interested, send me a DM to find out more!⁠
⁠

Your home is your sanctuary. Let me help you create one that feels homey and cozy, where every spot fulfills a specific function, and where surfaces are styled to reflect your and your loved ones' personalities.
