Learn a simple & practical approach
You might call it layman’s terms, but we like to think of it as "simple-speak." We've made interior design fun and easy, breaking it down so anyone can grasp the magic of transforming their space.
Cut the confusion
With endless design advice flooding TikTok and the web, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure about what’s actually effective or in style. We’ll clear up the confusion and break things down for you. We’ll help you focus on what really matters in design.
Develop skills for a lifetime
With award-winning designer Melanie, you'll learn skills that aren’t just trendy but timeless. These design tips will stay useful year after year, and home after home.
Make smart decisions
When you learn the basics (and beyond) of interior design, you'll be able to make smart decisions on purchasing furniture, decor, remodeling or updating your home.
Save thousands of $$$$
With a quart of paint costing about $50, who can afford to make mistakes? When you know the basics of interior design and color, you can make better choices and avoid wasting hundreds or thousands on things you don’t like or worse, things you can’t change, like flooring or countertops.
Gain confidence
Picture having full confidence in every home decision you make! Our mission is to equip you with the interior design knowledge needed to make informed choices and feel assured in your decisions.
Relieve stress & anxiety
If every choice feels overwhelming, our simple, practical and easy-to-learn design rules will help you make better and more confident decisions and ease that anxiety. Let’s simplify things and make your space more relaxing.
