We’ve all been there—buying a piece of furniture we thought we loved, only to realize it doesn’t fit the space, doesn’t match the rest of the room, or worse… it becomes an expensive regret...I call those BULLIES (or Decorating Dictators). Decorating mistakes don’t just cost money—they cost time, energy, and confidence.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing 5 strategic ways to avoid costly decorating mistakes so you can decorate your home with clarity and ease. From sticking to your budget to understanding scale and weight, these tips will help you feel more confident the next time you shop for your home.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

1. Why honoring your budget keeps you from overspending or stalling out.

2. How accurate measurements save you from frustrating returns and wasted money.

3. The role of scale in making sure your furniture looks right in the room.

4. Why the “weight” of an item matters for balance and flow.

5. The most important key: learning your unique aesthetic so you can shop with confidence and skip the confusion, overwhelm, and frustration.
