For nearly two years, Amanda had been contemplating how to decorate her living room. She wanted a luxurious atmosphere with rich dark blues and burnt orange colours. Amanda chose a wallpaper she adored, but selecting other items became challenging. She tried rose gold wallpaper, but it didn't work, so she replaced it with a neutral grey. She hung curtains, but then worried they were too dark - and with so many carpet colours to choose from, the entire project came to a halt. While the room was liveable, it didn't feel complete, and she couldn't settle in.

That's when Amanda contacted me for assistance. I listened to her ideas and created a visual design that showed her how her living room could look. She was thrilled with the result and asked for my advice on rugs, coffee tables, and even carpet selection. She checked off her shopping list and felt much happier in the space.

However, I knew the room needed a little something extra, so we had a styling day. Amanda and I went shopping together, and I helped her choose the perfect accessories. We discussed tonal colours, textures, the "rule of three," and even cushion plumping. We made minor styling adjustments to the curtains to make them look perfect.

Amanda's living room came together, with every detail to her liking. Her teenage son even commented, "It's a bit bouji in here!" It might have taken some time but with a little bit of support, she now has a cosy, glamorous room for relaxing and entertaining.
