If something feels "off" in a room, the artwork is often the culprit. One of the biggest mistakes I see is hanging art too high.

A good rule of thumb is to hang artwork so the center of the piece is at eye level—typically about 57–60 inches from the floor.

A few other designer tips:
• Over furniture, artwork should feel connected to the piece below it—not floating above it.
• Bigger is usually better. Undersized art can make a wall feel unfinished.
• When creating a gallery wall, think of multiple pieces as one large composition.

The right artwork can completely transform a room, but placement matters just as much as the piece itself.

Sometimes a few inches can make all the difference. 🙌

If there's one color I find myself reaching for every summer, it's blue.

Why? Because it's incredibly versatile. Blue pairs beautifully with warm woods, crisp whites, woven textures, and natural materials—making it an easy addition to almost any home.

The best part? You don't need a major redesign to incorporate it.

Try adding blue through:
• Pillows
• Artwork
• Dishes
• Bedding
• Accent furniture

Whether it's a soft sky blue, a coastal blue, or a rich navy, this timeless hue has a way of making a space feel fresh, relaxed, and effortlessly pulled together. A little blue can go a long way. 💙

Summer curb appeal doesn’t have to mean a huge makeover. Sometimes the smallest updates make the biggest difference.

Fresh planters, a new doormat, cozy outdoor pillows, trimmed greenery, clean windows, warm lighting, and a few layered textures can completely change the feel of an entry and make a home feel so much more welcoming.

I always love how summer gives us a reason to freshen things up and create spaces that feel lighter, relaxed, and inviting. ☀️
