Discover the little-known design secrets that make your home feel intentional, cohesive, and beautifully connected.

 

Does Your Home Feel “Disconnected”?

You walk into your home and… something just feels off.
One room feels fresh and bright. Another feels heavy or mismatched. Together, they don’t tell the same story.
 

Creating a cohesive home isn’t about a big budget or a total renovation.

It comes down to a few simple concepts and design rules that anyone can follow once you know them.


YOU'LL LEARN:

• The biggest mistakes homeowners make when decorating and exactly how to avoid them

• The secret ingredient that makes everything work 

• The four "Design Rules" that every well-designed space needs

• A simple, 3-step framework for creating flow—without being “matchy-matchy”

• How to create a home that feels pulled together and intentional

• You'll get two Action Plans: Using What you Already Have and Starting From Scratch

If you were to only ever take one Interior Design Masterclass, this is IT— a total game-changer on how you decorate and design your home.

 

 

The biggest regret I hear from homeowners is waiting too long to make their home feel good. Don’t wait years to love walking into your space—you can start making changes today.

How To Design Like A Pro Training— Modern-Style Bedroom



 


 ORDER PAINT SAMPLE SHEETS

AT SAMPLIZE
These paint sample sheets are incredibly accurate.

How to look at paint sheets accurately:
 

  1. Buy a few of each color. Although the color sheet IS accurate — your eyes won't perceive it as it will look on the wall. The larger the color area the more accurate the color will appear. 

    Colors tend to get lighter and more intense. 

     

  2. View the color sheets vertically (NOT on a  flat on a table) as this is how light will hit the color.
     

  3. Color sheets should only be viewed against white,
    NOT your current wall color:

    Get a couple large poster boards and adhere the sheets to the white poster board to isolate the color.

     

  4. If the color sheets are placed against your current wall color, your eyes blend the two colors together and therefore you are not seeing the true color.
     

  5. Remember, when your room is painted, the color will typically appear lighter and the undertone will become stronger. ​
