Last week, I interviewed a designer who strongly follows and advocates for design rules, and while that method works for some, I advocate for a different, more personal approach to home design. I discussed various design rules, their origins, and how they can be broken to create a unique, joyful space that reflects individual style. I categorized design rules into three buckets: classical aesthetic principles, practical rules learned through trial and error by pros, and cultural trends. I believe in playing with these rules rather than strictly adhering to them. I shared my thoughts on specific rules such as lighting sources, scale of lampshades, furniture placement for flow, family portraits, rug sizes, and curtain lengths, emphasizing the importance of understanding the 'why' behind each rule. For me, design is more art than science, and I encourage exploring and creating a space that truly represents one's unique style. Slow Style is about enjoying the process of decorating and finding joy in creating beauty that resonates personally. Want to finally define your style?

⁠Jannan's Homepage Blueprint Web Design Rules Every Business Owner Should Know Your website is your digital home base—a place where potential clients can learn about you, trust you, and ultimately take action. But if your site isn't designed effectively, you could be missing out on opportunities. That's why I sat down with Jannan Poppen, a branding and web designer for coaches and creatives, to discuss the essential web design rules every business owner should know. Jannan has been in business since 2019 and has launched dozens of websites, helping world-changing businesses elevate their impact through intentional design. In our conversation, she shared four key web design rules that can transform your website into a powerful tool for your business. Rule #1: Know the Goal of Your Website Before you worry about aesthetics or content, the most important thing to determine is your website's primary goal. As Jannan explains, “What do you want your website to achieve? What do you want it to do?” Your website should serve a purpose beyond just looking pretty. Some common goals include: Booking a discovery call Growing your email list Selling a product or service Getting people to register for an event or class If you're unsure of your website's goal, start by mapping out your client journey. Ask yourself: what is the first step someone takes when they begin working with you? The answer to that question will help define your website's primary objective. Rule #2: Keep Visitors Moving Through the Site A well-designed website should guide visitors seamlessly from one page to the next. This means using clear calls to action (CTAs) to direct users toward their next step. “A call to action isn't just a button,” Jannan explains. “It's inspiring action through design and words.” Whether it's scheduling a call, signing up for a newsletter, or purchasing a product, your CTAs should be: Clearly visible (bold and easy to find) Actionable (use strong verbs like ‘Book Now' or ‘Get Started') Strategically placed throughout your site If your CTA isn't clear, it's a call to confusion—and a confused visitor is a lost visitor. Rule #3: Show Your Personality A common misconception is that your website should be all about the client. While your messaging should speak to your ideal client's needs, your website is also an opportunity to showcase who you are and what you stand for. “Your site should reflect your brand's personality,” Jannan says. “It should communicate your values and the type of clients you love working with.” This means choosing a design style that aligns with your brand. If you're playful and bold, let that shine through your colors, fonts, and visuals. If your brand is more refined and classic, your design should reflect that as well. Your website is an extension of your brand identity, so make sure it feels like you. Rule #4: Maintain a Consistent Aesthetic Good design isn't just about looking beautiful—it builds trust and credibility. “When your website looks professional, people take your brand seriously,” Jannan notes. A consistent aesthetic means: Using a cohesive color palette and typography Keeping branding elements uniform across all pages Ensuring images and design elements align with your brand's look and feel An inconsistent or cluttered design can make visitors doubt your professionalism. On the other hand, a well-designed site enhances recognition and builds trust with potential clients. Final Thoughts Your website is more than just a digital business card—it's a powerful tool to attract and convert your ideal clients. By following these four web design rules, you can create a site that not only looks great but also supports your business goals.

New design rules due on March 1 will see the loss of three popular Mitsubishimodels. The Pajero Sport 4WD, Eclipse Cross SUV and the small ASX SUV willbe deleted from the Mitsubishi’s line-up due to the need for an expensive upgradeto their auto emergency braking technology. Mitsubishi Australia MD ShaunWestcott saying the investment in re-engineering the trio to comply with the newADR was not viable considering the advancing age of the vehicles. The threemodels last year were 38 per cent of Mitsubishi Australia’s sales and while thecompany has already announced a replacement for the ASX later this year, in theform of the Renault Captur based model, there are no imminent replacements forthe Eclipse Cross and Pajero Sport. Whilst the duo’s production has alreadyceased the local company says it has ordered significant stock ahead of time tomake them available for most of this year.

Baldwin and Clark's "Design Rules, Volume 1" explores how modular design transforms technological innovation. The book reveals how breaking complex systems into independent, interconnected components enables faster, more flexible technological development. By analyzing design architectures, the authors demonstrate how modularity reduces complexity, accelerates innovation, and provides strategic advantages across technological domains.

Hi Amanda, First off, Elaine commends Amanda on her initial color choice of alabaster, describing it as a beautiful off-white that ranked among the top Sherwin Williams colors. She suggests that you need to focus on allowing the natural landscape to guide her color palette since the lake house likely offers a view worth highlighting. Elaine also emphasizes the importance of choosing colors that complement the scenery to ensure the view remains the focal point. For the screen porch, she recommends considering a daring, dark green to provide a dynamic contrast and allow the room to blend with the natural surroundings. Elaine also shares key color rules, advising that Amanda match her home's interior and exterior styles to maintain cohesion, and suggests incorporating beige tones as an alternative to gray, which can look dated. Elaine points out the importance of considering natural light and how it interacts with chosen colors, encouraging Amanda to seek a palette that lasts and complements both the home's interior and its natural setting.

Seattle-based garden designer Stacie Crooks creates beautiful, ecologically friendly, low-maintenance gardens throughout the Pacific Northwest. Her most recent article in the December 2024 issue of Fine Gardening magazine tackles the challenges of integrating a vibrant, plant-focused garden into a cookie-cutter neighborhood developed during the post-World War II building boom. To coincide with the publication of the article, we're revisiting this engaging interview where Stacie covers some of the most valuable insights she has gained through years of experience. Anyone can use Stacie's rules of thumb to make their own outdoor spaces more welcoming and easier to maintain.

Conceptual papers that offer new theories are hard to write and even harder to publish. You do not have empirical data to back up your arguments, which makes the papers easy to reject in the review cycle. We are also typically not well trained in theorizing, and there isn't even a clear process to theorizing we could learn or follow. Does that mean that we shouldn't even try to write theory papers? We ponder these questions, figure out what is so hard in writing conceptual papers – and share a few tricks that might help if you still wanted to write such a paper.  References Berente, N., Gu, B., Recker, J., & Santhanam, R.

“Break the rules on purpose because we believe the room will look better. Not because we don't know better.” That's the premise of Myquillyn Smith's new book, “House Rules.” In my conversation with her we pull apart some of these key rules and why they're so useful, across the board. I love her examples of balancing casual and formal elements, the value of antiques and art, and how decorating with meaningful objects is better than decorating with diamonds. The Slow Style philosophy regarding intentionality, contrast, and patience in home decor comes through loud and clear.  I'm so happy to have Myquillyn back on the show! www.slowstylehome.com/episodes/myquillyn-smith The Style Matters podcast is now Slow Style Home!

Stacie Crooks is a Seattle-based garden designer who has created beautiful, ecologically friendly, low-maintenance gardens throughout the Pacific Northwest. She is also a contributing editor for Fine Gardening magazine and has shared her insights with our readers through 10 feature articles and several departments over the past 17 years. In this episode, Carol interviews Stacie about the lessons that she has gained from her years of garden design experience.  Stacie Crooks's Garden Design Rules of Thumb  1. Identify your project. Ask yourself "What do I want to achieve?" and “Why do I want to do this?" Having a clear goal in mind- be it lower maintenance, better curb appeal, or more wildlife in the garden- will help you make the right design, style, and plant choices.  2. Know your site. Before you can make any changes, you need to know your limitations. Determine the garden's light exposure and angles, soil types, drainage, topography, and size. Consider irrigation (if you need water, where will it come from?) and access (how will you get into the garden and move through it?) Bearing all this in mind, set a budget.  3. Get inspired. With your goals and guidelines clear, It's time for a solid plan. People always ask, “Where do I start?" Engage in activities that foster learning and friendships. Read books and magazines and go to lectures. Join a garden club. Volunteer at a public garden. Look in the newspapers and on the internet for opportunities. Take notes, make lists and make sketches. Take photos of gardens you visit and copy them.   4. No zone denial. When you go to buy your plants at your local nursery, read the tags carefully. Choose only that which is suited for your site and to your lifestyle. If it is not clear, ask a nursery person. Be sure that the amount of care that plant needs match the time and energy you can afford.   5. Finish one garden before you start another. Resist buying plants that are not for your current project- they'll just die waiting for you to plant them. Stick to the list.  6. Be responsible environmentally. Always aim to use less water, less fertilizer, and no chemicals. The better you know your site, the easier it is to achieve success naturally. There's an importance to NOT gardening, using fewer resources and less labor and just enjoying your space more. 

In this episode the guys have been playing a range of new, or new to them, games which have bought up some interesting (hopefully) considerations. Specifically this time, they've been thinking about rules, or at least the presentation of rules, the ones you're meant to learn, to internalize and have in your head versus the ones that you're meant to refer to the rulebook for. Glenn and Mike are the developer and designer respectively of games such as Gaslands, Gaslands: Refuelled and A Billion Suns and here they talk about how, why and sometimes if to design tabletop miniatures games with discussions, tips, reviews and interviews.

We are thrilled to welcome Chicago-based interior designer Summer Thornton to the show. Her work has appeared in Architectural Digest, ELLE Decor, House Beautiful, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times, as well as on the recent cover of Veranda. Her style is described as maximalist with a modern sensibility, whimsical textiles, bold art, and surprising patterns. She also wrote a fabulous and fun new book called Wonderland: Adventures in Decorating. We talk all about Summer's fantastic use of colors, how to break the rules, and how if you really love something it's never “too much”! What You'll Hear on This Episode: We talk about how much we all love Summer's coffee table book Wonderland: Adventures in Decorating. Why Summer loves using her dining room table as a “stage” when entertaining. How does Summer account for having two young children when designing? What are Summer's guidelines for coming up with a color scheme? How you can break the color rules of a color palette and make it work. Summer's biggest tip for designing a room is to try to plan it all at once. Summer thinks the important investment pieces are fabric and textiles. What are some of Summer's favorite fabrics, colors, and combinations? Summer loves using bold and fanciful shapes. To layer and “make it work”, Summer really recommends truly loving everything in your space. Rules that Summer likes to break like using neutral sofas and the idea of throwaway spaces. Summer is designing a beach dream house in Mexico. Follow the progress for Casa Rosada Sayulita! Summer's final tip is to use a larger sample swatch to truly see a color.

I don't like rooms that have all painted furniture, so I think the concept of using a wood tone balances this. What I think might be throwing things off is the style of this piece; I think it's maybe too delicate compared to the other pieces. That said, if you wanted to try to paint it, you could see if that helps it fit in better. Otherwise, I would recommend getting a different piece with a wood stain finish; I do think that works well. The other thing to consider is the styling; I would maybe take the runner off and style the lamp with a more modern shade. If you wanted to try, you could also bring more warm tones in to incorporate with this piece; maybe something like throw pillows and/or a floral fabric. I think you could live it up a little and change that wall color! If you are set on neutral, really soft pink or if you want to stay on the cool side a light lavender is a good place to start dipping your toe into colors. Good luck, Deb! Pick up Summer's book for inspiration and send us pics!

Design is everywhere from the car you drive to the coffee machine you can't live without. But design is way more than looking good, it's an asset every creator should have in their toolbox. Good design makes it easier for us to interact with the world and with the content we consume. An intuitively-designed iPhone gets us almost instantaneous access to a camera, music and of course, podcasts. In this bite-sized episode, Ben shares why creators should leverage design principles to get in front of their audiences, why style always wins, and the 3 lessons he learned from a trip to the Design Museum.

In this episode I'm speaking to the incredible Graphic Designer Jarmaine Stojanovic. He runs a multi disciplinary design studio based in Sydney that he founded in 2016. It's called SCCO Studio.Jarmaine took a risk and started his own studio as a young designer instead of taking the well-trodden path of working at one of the big design agencies. It paid off as he hasn't been restricted by working, designing and creating in the conventional way. He attracts clients who love his unconventional style and let him push his ideas to the limits and we discuss why hospitality venues offer the perfect environment to do some boundary pushing design.In this episode we unpack and dive into Jarmaine's design process, his career journey and the techniques he uses to get some of his best ideas.You can find Jarmaine here https://scco.studio/ and www.instagram.com/scco.studioAnd you can find me Nicole here, www.theideasbodega.com.au

Swedish-born and London-based designer Beata Heuman believes interiors should really sing. They should tell your personal story and be a reflection of the lives lived within a space and of the places and personalities that have inspired the journey to get you there. Beata is a rising star in the British design world—known for her bright and fearless interiors but also as a smart and open-minded product designer. Her Shoppa web shop sells everything from her fantastical and wildly patterned fabrics to smart lighting and bespoke furniture. Her designs strike this cool balance of effortlessly Scandinavian and distinctly British—which means they are cozy, whimsical, inviting, and timeless. In the foreword to her new book, Every Room Should Sing (Rizzoli), Beata writes, “It is easy to become preoccupied with trying to copy a perfect look. But the truth is that if you try to completely imitate another person’s style, you will always fall slightly short.” Learn more as we explore the dynamic spaces she creates that are a reflection of her go-for-it attitude. They rest not on expensive items or hard-and-fast design rules, but instead value passion, humor, fearlessness, and comfort. Bright, happy colors, new ways to frame and hang art—unexpected details intended to bring you joy.

Don't Break these Interior Design Rules

Is taste and ideas of beauty all completely personal and subjective or are there some core design rules to follow to create a beautiful home?

In this episode, we go inside Lady Gaga's "Gypsy Palace," where she and Bradley Cooper first discussed "A Star Is Born”; a double geodesic dome home in Indiana that's seriously nuts (and seriously stuck in the '80s); and a modest home built by Chip and Joanna Gaines in 2011, before they hit fame with "Fixer Upper.” Plus, the interior design rules experts say you should never break (we’re guilty of a few!). And can you guess which city has the most annoying neighbors?

“I’m not that creative” is one of the most hog-washy statements a person can make.   To be human is to be creative.   But while we are naturally creative, it’s useful to know the principles that pull out outr deepest creativity.   Pamela Sisson wrote an article called The 12 Design Rules for Life (yes, playing a little bit off Jordan Peterson’s book title, The 12 Rules For Life.)   What I love about these rules, is they apply not only to designers, but to other creatives, and any human being looking to stand out and improve their overall life.   It’s a fun conversation. Grab a cup of coffee. Or put on your sneakers for a stroll. Join us :)   #StayCurious
