307 // Pillow styling? How important can it really be in home decorating (LIVE coaching)
Hey friend!
Have you ever wondered how important pillows are to the overall styling of your home? If you haven't, you SHOULD because pillows alone can complete the look of your room, make your home feel more or less inviting and can generally speaking, make your home decor look flat or elevated.
A lot of power is held in a 20 x 20 rectangle!
In today's episode, you are getting to be a fly on the wall inside a LIVE coaching session inside of my monthly membership, The Collective, as I chat with the members about all things pillows:
1. How many pillows should you have on a couch?
2. What type of fill is best?
3. How do you mix patterns?
4. Where do you place lumbars?
5. Do you match pillows from couch to loveseat?
6. What do you do with sectionals?
AND MORE...
As a fly on the wall, you won't see the visuals I have created to answer these questions. Want to? Join The Collective here.
Happy styling!

dani

305 // The 2025 home decorating trend report: what's hot and what's not in home design this new year
Hey friend!
It's here - the most anticipated episode all year. The What's Hot & What's Not in home design in 2025. This year I gathered my insight from Better Homes and Garden, House Beautiful, Southern Living and Elle Decor. Surprisingly this year, more than any other years, most of these lists were in alignment and agreement with each other - not many outliers.
Of course, I added my personal opinion about some of them, where others I was in complete agreement and even some where I was in disagreement. :)
Trend or not, recommended design choices by fancy-pants designers or not, the ultimate goal here is for you to LOVE YOUR HOME. To release any expectations that your homes should be Pinterset perfect or Instagram worthy. Your home should be a reflection of you and if that means you put carpet into your bathroom because you love the way if feels on your feet when you step out of the bath (you'll have to listen to the episode to know WHY in 2025 I'm talking about carpeted bathrooms), if it makes you happy - it's OK. ;)
Joking aside, I know that making decisions in your home is a big deal. It's frustrating, laborious and connected to a lot of things that have nothing to do with the ultimate goal of what it looks like: money spent, compromising styles, honoring grandma's heirlooms, etc. If you are ready for a bit of guidance and a lot of support as you balance it all in 2025 - I invite you to book a Decorating SOS Coaching Call. Together we'll create a plan that fits your needs while matching your personality, budget and timeline.

304 // 5 Easy ways to make your home look cohesive when you don't know where to start
Hey Friend!
Welcome to 2025 and a brand new series on the fig & farm (at home) podcast. Every Tuesday I'll be answering listener questions in my new Dear Dani series. Have a question that you want answered? Leave it here: [email protected]
Today's question comes from Amanda who wants to know how to make her home look less disjointed. The 'fancy' word we use in the design world is 'cohesive' and the goal is to do just that, but it takes a bit of work. In this episode I'm sharing 5 quick tips so you can make your home look and feel cohesive when you aren't entirely sure where to start.
5 Easy ways to make your home look cohesive
1. Learn your design style (aka your aesthetic): pay attention to the all the details of the things you gravitate to time and time again.
2. Write those details down.
3. Leave your card at home and go on a field trip to your favorite home decor store. Act as-if you are making selections and see if the things you would choose match with the design elements you noticed in tip 1. If they do...you're on to your aesthetic. If they don't...go back to tip 1 and dive in a bit more.
4. Using your list, go through the items in your home and start decluttering items that don't match that aesthetic or design style, keeping the items that do.
5. Shop your home. Once the extra items are removed, now you have the foundation for shopping your home instead of shopping the store whenever inspiration to re-decorate a room strikes
Happy styling!!
