You’ve probably asked yourself, What’s my interior design style?—and if you haven’t yet, your Pinterest board definitely has.
But with so many options out there, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or unsure where to even begin. Do you love clean lines and warm neutrals, or bold color and layered textures? Should you go modern, traditional, or somewhere in between? And how do you even start when you like a little bit of everything?
In this premiere episode of Design Unscripted, I’m sharing the same 4-step process I use with my private clients to help them uncover their unique style—and design spaces that feel effortless, functional, and fully them.
Spoiler: It’s not about choosing a label or following trends. It’s about clarity, intention, and creating a space that reflects who you are and how you live.
Inside this episode, I’ll walk you through: • The most important questions to ask before making any design decisions
• Why your favorite hotel or outfit might hold the key to your aesthetic
• How to gather inspiration (without falling down a Pinterest rabbit hole)
• Why function is the unsung hero of good design
• A mindset shift that will make experimenting way less intimidating
If you’ve ever felt stuck or second-guessed your taste, this episode will give you a clear path forward—and the confidence to trust your instincts.
