Podcasts about home decorating

In this week's episode, Sorg and Dudders get geeky about AI in everyday life — from redesigning homes with ChatGPT to tracking calories with conversational AI. Then guest Brian Crawford takes us on a deep dive through Japan's advanced transit tech, immersive art museums, and cultural quirks. We also preview Pittsburgh's AI & Robotics Demo Day and catch up with Chachi's gaming news minute. Perfect for fans of AI tools, travel tech, and real-world innovation.

If you've ever opened Pinterest, typed “home decorating ideas,” and instantly felt overwhelmed (and maybe a little discouraged when you saw the price tags), you're not alone. Finding decorating inspiration when you're on a budget can feel like trying to shop champagne taste with a tap water wallet. But here's the good news: Inspiration is everywhere—and it doesn't have to cost you a thing. In this episode, I'm sharing three unexpected places to find decorating inspiration that work perfectly for women who want a beautiful, cohesive home without overspending. You'll learn: How to spot design ideas in everyday places you already visit. A simple way to pull timeless colors and textures from nature. How to shop your own home to spark fresh ideas (without spending a dime). Whether your style feels undefined, you've made a few costly mistakes, or you simply want your home to feel cozy, inviting, and “finished,” these tips will help you gather inspiration that feels personal, doable, and budget-friendly.

Hey friend! Are you oozing with ideas and overloaded by inspiration for your home, but you lack the time to implement and execute? The truth is - we all have the same 24 hours in a day. The other truth is - we, as busy mamas, juggle a lot and hold so many plates and wear so many hats on any given day it should be illegal. So how do we carve out any significant amount of time into our already busy schedules to make room for things that could seem rather insignificant? We make room! We make space! We talk to time management coaches who can give us tactical strategies to try so we can reach the goals we have for our homes, no matter how big or small. In today's episode, I'm talking with time management coach and host of The Busy Vibrant Mama podcast, Michelle Byrd. She's teaching us ways to find more time when we are bombarded with all of the to-dos holding us back. So, friend, start planning that project and gathering those supplies because you'll be as inspired as I was to make space for the home things that matter to you!   Better Than Basics Bootcamp April 29 - May 1 9am PST | 10 am MST | 11am CST | 12pm EST ......................................

Hey friend! You've heard the phrases:  "Home is where the heart is." "There's no place like home." "Home is a feeling." TRUE...all of that. But home has a backdrop, a landscape to the heart and home definitely has a feeling. How you feel about your home is shrouded in every memory - those that provoke laughter or tears. If you don't like the backdrop to those memories: frustration, overwhelm, disarray, disorganization, chaos, clutter...as the illustrator of your home's canvas - YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE IT! Simply put...home matters. It should be: * a respite at the end of a long day * a shelter from the literal and figurative storms * a comfort when returning from long times away * an invitation to relax and restore * a place for you to feel inspired and delighted * a scared space for all the memories that make up the landscape of your legacy So...how do you feel about your home? How are you treating it? Are you ready to take action and turn it into a place where you delight?   Better Than Basics Bootcamp April 29 - May 1 9am PST | 10 am MST | 11am CST | 12pm EST ......................................

Hey friend! A few years ago when the world shut down, Cottagecore took the decorating world by storm. Cottagecore is a decorating style, yes, but it's more of a lifestyle defined by the idea of slowing down and living more sustainably with a big nod toward nostalgia. Though the foundation of what defines Cottagecore hasn't changed, some of the nuances have.  In today's episode I'm reacquainting you with the fundamentals of Cottagecore and what you can expect in the style as it has evolved over time. I also share 10 ways you can bring Cottagecore into your home if you're wanting to try the style...it's a fun one!!!

Hey friend! I get it...when you think you stink at something, it's not super motivating to keep doing it. Right? But learning how to decorate your home is just that - it's a learned skill. Similar to riding a bike, tying your shoes, or baking a cake - you weren't born knowing how to do it, so why should you expect home decorating to be any different? Inside this episode I'm responding to Tracy's Dear Dani letter - trying to bolster her decorating confidence after years of feeling unsuccessful (and now stuck) in the way her home looks and feels. She's wanting a change, but feels a bit scared to give it another go. 5 Tips for building your home decorating confidence 1. Start small: Start with low risk changes rather than expensive (both in time and money) changes that might not work out. Shop the house, rearrange the furniture, get rid of things are all great examples of starting small. 2. Practice with a test run: If you're contemplating change, try mimicking that change and practicing the look before committing any money to it. Listen to the podcast for an example. 3. See it before you decide: Before you buy anything, try taking a screenshot of it and placing it on a word doc so you can see how the items look all together. Once you like it, then try it. 4. Progress over perfection: Just like learning any new skill, it's about the progress rather than perfection. You will make mistakes - like anyone learning a new skill, but using some of the tips will help you practice you home decorating muscles so you begin limiting the amount of mistakes you are making. The end goal - to love your home better than you do today. That happens with progress over time rather than perfection. 5. Hold on to Rules loosely: Let the rules be a companion in decision making ONLY if they are helpful. Not sure what size of curtains to get? Find the rules and let those inform your decision making.   YOU'RE INVITED!!!! To my FREE 5 day LOVE YOUR HOME CHALLENGE!! Happening February 10 - 14th inside your INBOX.

Hey friend! Have you ever wondered what it is about some homes that make them look so classic and timeless, but wonder how to do the same in your own home? I've got you covered in this episode as I'm sharing 10 tips for having a more classic, timeless design in your home decorating. But let me tell you a little secret - it's all about intentionality. From the color palette to the metal choices, to the way things are built, to live plants vs fake plants...all of this and more help drive the classic, timeless design. And if it all sounds intimidating, rest assured that it actually is NOT. Learning how to be an intentional decision maker starts with knowing your personal design style, your signature style, your aesthetic - what ever you want to call it - these are the miniscule design elements that you gravitate to over and over. Once you know THAT, you have the fundamentals of creating a cohesive home. A cohesive home is the core principle for a timeless, classic look. Ready to learn more? Join me inside The Collective, where I share short weekly video lessons just like this (with visuals included) and where we gather monthly in a LIVE q & a session to answer all your questions.   YOU'RE INVITED!!!!

Hey friend! Do you wish you had the nerve to be a little more bold in your home decor? Why is it so hard to take a risk when the risk-reward ratio isn't too disparaging? Listener Katie is really nervous about being bold in her decor and that's what we're talking about inside today's episode. I'm sharing 5 tips to help ease her comfort level and these tips, no matter how bold you want to go, will be helpful for you as you continue building your decorating confidence. 5 Tips for Going Bold 1. Know what BOLD means to you: Write it down, define it and better yet... 2. Find an INSPIRATION PHOTO: Use this as a guide or reference, NOT as a map for copying. 3. Define your COLOR PALETTE: Your current foundational color might not support your definition of bold. Be prepared to change that first if need be. 4. Start SMALL: Small could mean one item. It could also mean one room that has doors you can close. Either way, when you're nervous about big change, starting small is comfortable - like tiptoeing into the water instead of diving into the deep end head first. 5. EXPERIMENT, PLAY, HAVE FUN: It's ok to experiment, this is your house after all. But if makes you feel more comfortable- know your exit strategy for the bold decision in case you don't like it.   In this episode I also answered Carrie's question re: The Collective. She was worried about The Collective being hosted on FB as she doesn't have (nor want) to be on social media.   Facts about The Collective: 1. It's hosted on a site called Thrive. Thrive is not social media, but rather a course hosting platform. 2. All LIVE q & a sessions and workshops are hosted on Zoom. The replays of those sessions then live in The Collective's hub (think of it like a library) on Thrive. 3. There is an optional student community on FB, where students of The Collective and Home Design 101 can answer each other's questions, post pictures of their progress, etc, but ALL Collective content, announcements, trainings, etc. live on the Thrive platform.  Happy Styling!! dani   // Links mentioned in show: // Email: hello@figandfarmathome.com 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      

Hey friend! Have you ever wondered how important pillows are to the overall styling of your home? If you haven't, you SHOULD because pillows alone can complete the look of your room, make your home feel more or less inviting and can generally speaking, make your home decor look flat or elevated.  A lot of power is held in a 20 x 20 rectangle! In today's episode, you are getting to be a fly on the wall inside a LIVE coaching session inside of my monthly membership, The Collective, as I chat with the members about all things pillows: 1. How many pillows should you have on a couch? 2. What type of fill is best? 3. How do you mix patterns? 4. Where do you place lumbars? 5. Do you match pillows from couch to loveseat? 6. What do you do with sectionals? AND MORE... As a fly on the wall, you won't see the visuals I have created to answer these questions. Want to?

Hey friend!  It's here - the most anticipated episode all year. The What's Hot & What's Not in home design in 2025. This year I gathered my insight from Better Homes and Garden, House Beautiful, Southern Living and Elle Decor. Surprisingly this year, more than any other years, most of these lists were in alignment and agreement with each other - not many outliers.  Of course, I added my personal opinion about some of them, where others I was in complete agreement and even some where I was in disagreement. :)  Trend or not, recommended design choices by fancy-pants designers or not, the ultimate goal here is for you to LOVE YOUR HOME. To release any expectations that your homes should be Pinterset perfect or Instagram worthy. Your home should be a reflection of you and if that means you put  carpet into your bathroom because you love the way if feels on your feet when you step out of the bath (you'll have to listen to the episode to know WHY in 2025 I'm talking about carpeted bathrooms), if it makes you happy - it's OK. ;)  Joking aside, I know that making decisions in your home is a big deal. It's frustrating, laborious and connected to a lot of things that have nothing to do with the ultimate goal of what it looks like: money spent, compromising styles, honoring grandma's heirlooms, etc. If you are ready for a bit of guidance and a lot of support as you balance it all in 2025 - I invite you to book a Decorating SOS Coaching Call. Together we'll create a plan that fits your needs while matching your personality, budget and timeline.  Book a Decorating SOS Coaching Call Happy styling!  dani    // Links mentioned in show: // Email: hello@figandfarmathome.com 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 Quiet Luxury Podcast: https://figandfarmathome.podbean.com/e/169/

Hey friend! Have you ever wondered how you blend different wood tones or how to honor your child's artwork in a way that looks intentional and well put together rather than a haphazard selection or placement? Maybe you're considering buying a new couch or replacing your dining room table, but you're stuck with decision overwhelm. The way I see it? You have two choices? Do nothing and resign to the idea that you'll just live with what you have no matter your desire for change OR make the first step toward action.  In today's episode I'm talking with Dee during a Decorating SOS Call about creating a cohesive, warm, inviting open concept area in her home. It's her first action step toward reaching the goals she has for her home. The rooms in question are her kitchen, dining room, living room and entryway. With a recent fresh coat of paint (going from yellow to a warm white), the foundation for every other change has been made. But Dee's wondering what she should do first.  Does she buy the couch, hang the art, replace the dining table?  In this episode you get to be a fly on the wall as I talk to her about choosing a color palette (red or blue), honoring her grandchild's artwork and hanging a gallery wall - all while saving her AT LEAST $2000 when the recommendation is to NOT buy a new credenza or dining room table.  Are you ready to reach the goals you have for your home - taking the first step toward creating a home you delight in?

Hey friend! As I was preparing my Thanksgiving menu this week, I came across recipes that were nostalgic - tucked away in a box and pulled out once a year, if that. Those recipes? They were written by my mom who passed away six years ago. I haven't had her frozen fruit salad for years - decades even, but it was definitely part of my childhood. Those recipes got me thinking... HOW ARE YOU TELLING YOUR FAMILY'S STORY IN YOUR HOME DECORATING?  In today's episode, I'm sharing five ideas for decorating with a subtle nod to your family story that go beyond hanging family photos on the wall. These are subtle nods to memories and cherished moments that are too precious to have hidden in a box in the closet.  5 ways to tell your story in home decorating: 1. Understand your decorating style: There's a direct correlation to understanding your style and decorating with confidence. Confident choices allow you to move away from the generic, bed in the bag, pieces and into more nuanced, subtle decision making. It's there that you'll find your story.  2. Out of the box artwork: Artwork doesn't have to be framed to be considered art. Hanging collections made from special interests or hobbies can make a beautiful, unique to your story piece of art. Collections of vintage cameras, musical instruments, sporting equipment immediately come to mind. Artwork of special locations directly tied to family history - location of proposal, wedding, etc. aren't overtly shouting "I was here - everyone take notice." Instead they're serving as reminders of how important that special memory is to you and your family.  3. Special interests and hobbies: As above, displaying remnants of those special interests or hobbies, rather than storing them away in boxes for a peek every once in a while can be a nuanced, whimsical and delightful way to add character to your home that item from Target just can't provide.  4. Family heirlooms: Mixing and matching old and new makes such a delightful curated look in your home while providing opportunities for them to have a second chapter. If you don't like their original state, try modifying it to make it fit more of your current aesthetic.  5. Family history: Stories or recipes written down and framed, ticket stubs of first dates, vintage clocks set to birth times of your babies, wedding china out of the box and displayed as an installation in your dining room are all examples of living history. Getting them out of the box, dusted off and serving as reminders of who you are add a delightful touch to your home.    ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Hey friend, At the beginning of every calendar year, I share the projected trend report for the upcoming year. But as you can imagine things change within a given year, so in today's episode I'm sharing the 2024 fall trend report. You may be equally surprised to note, that much hasn't changed since January. A few things, but not much.  According to Urban Natural and Better Homes & Gardens, these items are worth noting for your fall decorating. Items with an * indicate they were in agreement with each other with these trend predictions.  1. Handcrafted wood furniture: the move away from quick production, cheap materials and onto more sustainable wood furniture production is still very much a thing.  2. Mixed textures: trendy in any season, but particularly in fall when naturally we want to be cozier. Layers and texture bring in that cozy feeling we've been craving all summer.  3. Luxurious curves: don't mistake luxurious curves for overstuffed when it comes to furniture. But even if you don't get a curved chair or couch, curves in design will directly offset the traditional structure and formality of living room pieces.  4. *Earthy color palettes: moody earthen tones are still on trend as they evoke a feeling of calm without being overbearing or too energetic.  5. *Artisinal elements for your dining table: fall kicks off the season of hosting dinners around a beautiful table. This season's trend is to take the table setting up a notch with beautiful handcrafted items.  Learn to set a beautiful table with this Tablescape Guide.  6. Heirloom pieces: items passed down through generations are, rightfully so, reemerging as not only a way to honor past traditions, but to decorate while telling your family's story. Heirloom pieces don't, however, have to furniture items only. Think of smaller items - antique vases and embroidered pillowcases immediately come to mind.  7. Natural elements: always on trend, bringing the outdoors in will never go out of style. But this season specifically, the trend comes in the form of gilded acorns, persimmon branches and pinecones.  8. Jewel tones, naturally: continuing with the natural theme, the use of jewel tones from nature (crimson mums, magnolia leaves for example) are having their moment.  Download the Fall 2024 Home Decorating Trend Report to get ideas for your fall decorating: Fall Trend Report   // Links mentioned in show: // Email: hello@figandfarmathome.com Website: https://figandfarmathome.com Book a Decorating SOS Coaching Call: https://www.figandfarmathome.com/decorating-sos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figandfarm/ FREE Facebook Community: https://www.bit.ly/design101group The Collective Membership Waitlist: https://figandfarmathome.myflodesk.com/waitlist Fall Trend Report:    Happy styling!! xo, dani

You have $500 to spend and you CAN'T WAIT to go shop the sales so you can get the biggest bang for your buck.  I know you know how to get the biggest bang for your buck...you do it when you're shopping for a car, clothes, even groceries. You can definitely score some sale items for home decor too.  BUT...the BIGGEST BANG in your home doesn't always translate to the least amount of money you'll be spending.  The BIGGEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK = BIGGEST IMPACT!  Thinking about WHAT changes to make in your home (in today's case, the bathroom) that will bring about the 'WOW' factor, the 'I wish I would have done this sooner' statement, the 'I didn't know I could make so many changes with so little money' realization.  And THAT'S what we're talking about today on the show.  Can you make BIG IMPACT CHANGE in your bathroom for only $500? YUP...sure can!  Want even more tips for creating a home you LOVE?... // FREE WORKSHOP!!!! //    3 Steps to Creating a Home you Can't Stop Gushing About  Tues & Wed, September 17 - 18 9am PST | 10am MT | 11am CT | 12pm ET Register: https://bit.ly/fallhomeworkshop   // ANNOUNCEMENT!!!! // fig & farm (at home) podcast is making design even MORE ACCESSIBLE to all of you in the form of a monthly membership.

The short term rental (or STRs) are crazy around here and towns have been tightening rules on them here in NC. Not sure about where you live, but having a rental property is another revenue stream for people who are trying to make ends meet. But if you are renting out a home, condo or apartment there are a few things you should keep in mind when it comes to decorating it. Let's get into that in this week's episode. Mentioned in this episode: How to stage a living room online course https://bluediamondstaginganddesign.com/how-to-stage-living-room-course/ Master bedroom layouts https://www.etsy.com/listing/1606662842/master-bedroom-furniture-plans-floor Home decor ebook https://www.etsy.com/listing/1614205648/home-decor-placement-interior-decorating

 What's my design style?  It's the age-old question. What's my style? What name can I give it? What box can I put it in to make my job of decorating my home easier?  The hard truth: those home decorating style quizzes DON'T make your job easier. They make it harder...a LOT harder.  Your design style can be labeled, but it should be labeled by you and you alone. Why? Because you and I can both be looking at the exact same picture with the same design style label and interpret it two different ways.  Inside the BACK TO BASICS BOOTCAMP I teach you how to learn your design style...not just how to recognize a pretty picture. I teach you the nuances that make up your style and help you make a label that YOU understand. When you do that...you UNLOCK the secret to learning how to decorate your home.  This is the NUMBER ONE thing you should do when you are wanting to learn how to decorate your home, you're feeling stuck or uninspired, you feel like you lack the decorating gene.

We first need to break through the barriers that are keeping her stuck, but then we dive right into the tactical ways she can approach adding more color and playfulness in a home that is mostly benign in design.  If you're ready to embrace color, cohesiveness and your design style in your home but you don't know where to start, I invite you to join me in my LIVE, FREE two day Back to Basics Bootcamp where I am teaching you the power of understanding and identifying your personal design style so you can begin making confident design decisions in your own home with less overwhelm, frustration and wasted money.    Register for:  BACK TO BASICS BOOTCAMP  March 26 - 27 @ 9am PST FREE EVENT  https://bit.ly/figandfarmbootcamp   // Links mentioned in show: // Email: hello@figandfarmathome.com Website: https://figandfarmathome.com Home Design 101: https://figandfarmathome.com/home-design-101 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figandfarm/ Back to Basics Bootcamp: https://bit.ly/figandfarmbootcamp   Happy styling! xo,  dani

 BLACK FRIDAY   You either LOVE it or HATE it!   If you need items for your home decorating project you won't want to miss Black Friday sales, but are you READY? And what does being ready for Black Friday even mean?    Start by creating a PLAN. A solid decorating plan does not start with making a list of things you'd like to purchase. Creating a plan for decorating involves learning your aesthetic, understanding the purpose of the room, learning the sequence of when to purchase the items that will make big impact and not spending until you've checked your plan with your calendar - so your spending will align with deeply discounted items (usually offered on or around Black Friday).  How do you learn to make this magical home decorating plan? You learn inside of Home Design 101 - a self paced course that teaches you the steps in the design process so you can finally create a home that you are delighted to come home to and invite your friends over to.  Register for Home Design 101: https://www.figandfarmathome.com/home-design-101   // Links mentioned in show: // Email: hello@figandfarmathome.com Website: https://figandfarmathome.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figandfarm/ Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/design101group Home Design 101: https://figandfarmathome.com/home-design-101   Happy planning! xo, dani

I've heard of hipsters and historic homes but never have I heard of this term...hipstoric homes until recently. I love how words can be mashed up together in the English language and this is another mashup...which is kind of what this is when it comes to decorating a home. A mashup of decorating styles called hipstoric homes. And what is this style? Well, listen in because we are about to unveil hipstoric homes which is an emerging decorating style on Pinterest.

"Why would you spend $700 on a course when you can buy a $20 book?"    A comment came in recently from a listener asking this question. It's a valid question and one that needs a valid answer because maybe you DON'T need an expensive course. Maybe for you, buying a $20 book is as good of a resource as you'll need in your effort to transform your home into a home that you love. But how do you know? 3 questions to ask yourself before making this Home Design 101 investment.    // Links mentioned in show:// Email: hello@figandfarmathome.com Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/design101group Website: www.figandfarmathome.com Register for Home Design 101: https://www.figandfarmathome.com/registration   Books to consider:  1.

BORING! If that's the word you are using to describe your home you may be missing something.  In today's podcast we're continuing our conversation of bringing more Christmas time cozy into your home when the last pine needle has been swept up and the ornaments have been put away. If we love the feeling of Christmas - can we truly get it the rest of the year? The simple answer...YES! Just look at your Christmas tree...it is covered with your family's story, history, legacy. Creating a home that honors your family's story is more than hanging a few photos on the wall (though that's a good start).    Creating a home you love should reflect YOU...not your neighbor! Are you ready to learn how create a home you love? Home Design 101 is open for registration, but it's CLOSING SOON.
