• 318 // Shopping tips to save you BIG when decorating your home

  Hey friend! Last week I shared WHERE I shop, today...I'm sharing HOW I shop. I'm just like you - living on a budget trying to make my pennies stretch from month to month, while being fiscally responsible! Doing so doesn't mean that I solely rely on shopping second hand, though if you've been around for a while, you know that is one of my favorite strategies for curating my home on a budget!! My top 5 tips for HOW to shop on a budget: 1. Shop the sales. This may seem obvious, but I'm talking the bigger sales - the holiday sales, the yearly or bi-yearly sales that are brand or store specific. 2. Use a cash back app. One of my favorites. Check your credit cards and stores you already buy from. Shop at Target? They have a cash back app! 3. Buy second hand. Not only does this allow you to save money, but when done in conjunction with truly knowing your aesthetic, allows you to be specific with items that match your style!!! 4. Price matching. Does your favorite home decor store offer price matching? Check. I know Target does - even with online prices from their own stores. 5. Don't buy everything at once. Not only will you spend more money than you need, but you'll likely have a home that looks like it's been decorated from a Target museum, lacking the curation that happens over a period of time.   Want more tips?

• 317 // Usinig Pinterest for home decor inspiration? Use it INSTEAD for this!

  Hey friend! If you're only using Pinterest to pin pretty pictures, you may as well STOP using it. Using Pinterest as an effective tool in home decorating is more than being able to recognize a beautiful interior landscape. And if you're NOT using Pinterest because you don't want to be on social media...I have news for you. Pinterest isn't social media - it's a search engine...just like Google. Using Pinterst effectively and strategically for home decorating starts with understanding HOW to use it besides earmarking beautiful photos. Instead try these ideas: 1. Use it for inspiration! Check...you got this. You're likely already an expert. :) 2. Use it to learn the details of your design style. 3. Use it as a resource for learning more: location of sourced items, tutorials, etc. Pinterest is designed to get you OFF the site (unlike social media where it's designed to keep you scrolling). The goal...give you an idea then the direct link to learn more about it. 4. Use it to shop and for brand awareness. 5. Use it to refine your search terms.   How NOT to use Pinterest: Do NOT use it to copy & paste. BIG no-no as this is the number one way you can make your home look opposite of cohesive.   Happy styling! xo, dani   // Links mentioned in show: // Email: [email protected] Website: https://figandfarmathome.com Join The Collective (monthly membership): https://www.figandfarmathome.com/thecollective Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figandfarm/ FREE Facebook Community: https://www.bit.ly/design101group

• 316 // 5 FAVORITE budget friendly places to shop

  Hey friend! Do you ever wonder where you should be shopping for cute budget friendly home decor? So was Rosmarie. In today's episode she asks: "Dear Dani, I'm curious...where are YOUR favorite places to shop? Are all stores/sites created equal? What I mean: sometimes I wonder if I should focus my attention on some items at some stores and while avoiding other items. Does that make sense?" It ABSOLUTELY does make sense. To craft a well-curated home, only shopping at one place would be putting your design style in a box, but you are much more storied and nuanced than that and your home should reflect it! In this episode I'm sharing 5 items and WHERE I shop for them. Do I shop at box stores? Sure, but only for certain items. Do I shop at boutiques? Yup...again for certain items. Listen in for the run down of where I shop and what I shop for. The five items I cover: 1. Home decor items (likely THE MOST IMPORTANT for creating nuance in your design) 2. Artwork 3. Textiles: pillows and throw blankets (sneak peek: I DON'T shop for these at the same place) 4. Small furniture 5. Large (or statement) furniture 6. Bonus: area rugs (sneak peek: it's more about the brand than the location)   Where do you shop?

• 315 // These 5 things could be keeping you from decorating your home

  Hey friend! How do you feel about excuses?! Sometimes I think of excuses as trying to make one feel better about their lack of confidence or understanding - maybe a little bit of misinformation. In my line of work I hear excuses all the time. Sometimes it's purely based in the excitement of finally making a breakthrough, but their excitement went before their intentional planning. I could list all of the ways I hear excuses during a project, but the ones that are most profound (maybe even a bit sad) are the ones that explain why someone doesn't want to invest in the way their home looks. Invest, here, does not equal a monetary exchange. Invest could be time related, learning related, decision making related...basically, thinking they, their families or their homes deserve any TLC or attention. These are the five most common excuses I hear re: why someone does not want to invest in their home: 1. It costs too much 2. Fear of making mistakes 3. Overwhelmed by so many choices 4. They have animals or kids, so they can't have nice things 5. They are just really bad at it and can't learn In today's episode, I'm sharing why these 5 excuses are just that...excuses.

• 314 // Elevate the look of your home with these easy (and FREE) tips

  Hey friend! Are you wanting to elevate the look of your home without breaking the bank like listener Gabby? She sent in a question asking for my best tips to do just that - and I had a hard time stopping. These 5 tips are just the top of the iceberg when wanting to change your space for the better - giving it a little glow up. 1. Declutter: Really...if you stopped here, you'd have the potential to elevate your home considerably.  2. Freshen up worn pieces: Giving tired pieces a little extra TLC - a fresh coat of paint or stain will go liven your home. 3. Check your color palette: Do you have an intentional color palette with one foundational color and a couple of accent colors? Are those colors flowing throughout your open concept home? If not...this is a great place to start. 4. Check the scale and proportion of your items: If things look too small, too big, too full, too short, too wide - it could be throwing off the balance of your room. Adjusting the scale of items that are mis-proportioned is a big step toward elevating your home. 5. Repetition of design elements: Know the difference between repetition and too much of a good thing. Repeating design elements like color, metals, wood tones, etc. ties your room together making it look cohesive.   Cohesiveness is at the core of having an elevated looking home.   Ready to learn more?
