These are the mistakes I see homeowners make before construction even begins. And unfortunately… they’re the ones that are the most expensive to fix later. 1️⃣ Choosing finishes too late Builders need tile, flooring, lighting, and cabinet details much earlier than most people realize. Waiting too long creates rushed decisions and costly change orders. 2️⃣ Starting construction without a clear design vision Choosing things one-by-one might feel easier in the moment… but it often leads to a home that feels mismatched once everything is installed. Designer homes feel cohesive because the entire concept is planned first. 3️⃣ Not realizing how one decision affects ten others Tile size affects grout lines. Grout lines affect layout. Layout affects transitions. Lighting affects furniture placement. Furniture placement affects scale. Scale affects your budget. Every choice is connected. Which is why starting with a clear plan changes everything. If you love calm, warm, minimalist homes… my Earthy Scandinavian Home Guide launches this Sunday and walks you through the exact selections, palettes, and materials to create that look with confidence.

Design is about seeing the whole picture before the house is built. The proportions, the lighting plan, how the spaces flow, how materials work together, and how everything will actually feel when you live there. A well-designed home doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the difference between: • One lonely foyer light… or two perfectly scaled ones • Cabinets that look fine… or cabinetry that feels intentional • Rooms that technically work… or spaces that feel calm, layered, and complete And once the drywall goes up, most of those decisions are permanent. So yes—you can do it yourself. But just like bangs… it’s a lot easier to get it right the first time.

Here are 3 things you probably didn’t think about when it comes to remodeling and the design process: • Stone installation • Millwork design & wallpaper • Framing planning for pocket doors Back with Lucianna, showcasing all the little details that go into the design of a project. Some decisions are made before we start. Some happen during. And some come together at the very end, but every single one matters. We have to be vigilant in how we prep a space, design a space, and execute a space for the best results. It’s never just about the finishes, it’s about the planning behind them that makes everything feel seamless. #HomeRemodel #CustomHomeDesign #LuxuryRenovation

Sure, you can build a home without hiring an interior designer, but let me explain why that’s not actually a good idea. ⤵️ Building a home comes with hundreds (honestly thousands) of decisions: layout tweaks, cabinet details, tile selections, lighting placement, materials, finishes, colors, flow, scale proportion. And most of these choices have to be made before you fully understand how they’ll look and feel together.  An interior designer isn’t just there to “make it pretty.” We’re there to: 🤍 Prevent expensive change orders 🤍 Catch layout issues before drywall goes up 🤍 Translate your ideas into a cohesive plan 🤍 And, save you from design fatigue halfway through your build.  Builder meetings move fast. If you walk in unprepared, you’ll either rush decisions… or default to the safe builder-grade options you’ll regret later on.  You’re building a home you’ll live in every single day. It should feel personal and finished. 🏡 Sure, you can do it on your own. But if you want it done right the first time, and actually love the results, bringing in an interior designer early changes everything.  If you’re building (or thinking about building) send me a message and let’s chat.  . . . . . #NewHomeConstruction #BuildAHome #DreamHome #WelcomeHomeStyling #InteriorDesign

Anatomy of a Builder Floor. Often underestimated. Often standardised. Rarely reimagined. This is where we intervene. A builder floor isn’t just a stacked residence - it’s a complex layering of circulation, privacy, light, structure, and services within tight constraints. The challenge isn’t decoration. It’s reworking volume, improving flow, enhancing daylight, and giving character to spaces that usually feel predictable. If you’re planning a builder floor, let’s rethink it - intelligently, intentionally, and with depth.

Bigger doesn’t always mean more square footage. It’s about how the space is designed. Don’t ignore these in your next home. 1 - LONG SIGHTLINES - Seeing through to a window, courtyard, or stair creates depth and perspective. Your eye reads distance as space. 2. FEWER VISUAL BREAKS - Continuous flooring, “empty” wall space, and simpler trim keep the eye moving instead of stopping. 3. MORE & BETTER NATURAL LIGHT- Windows on multiple walls, taller windows (instead of wider ones), and higher placement make spaces feel wider and brighter. Avoid breaking walls into small window groupings. 4. FULL HEIGHT CABINETRY - Scale is everything. Large doors and full height cabinetry make rooms feel more generous. Oversized furniture or too small rugs can instantly shrink a room. 5 - TALLER CEILINGS - We love 10 to 12 feet, which will let light travel and give rooms visual breathing room. These are the quiet design decisions that change how a home feels day to day. Save this if you’re building or renovating.

Good design isn’t about copying what everyone else is doing. It’s about paying attention to how you actually live day to day, season to season. The homes that feel calm, functional, and timeless aren’t accidents. They’re built on intentional decisions made early, before trends enter the conversation. That’s exactly why I created my building guide, to help you think through the choices that actually matter before they’re locked in. Comment “BUILD” if you’re building, renovating, or even just dreaming right now, and I’ll DM it you. #BeforeYouBuild #HomeBuildingJourney #BuildingAHome #CustomHomeBuild

POV: You’re building your forever home and suddenly realize no one is actually curating the vision… just 5,000 decisions, a builder asking “what do you want here?” and a Notes app full of screenshots. Then this account finds you—and suddenly the layout, finishes, and details start making sense. If you’re building and feeling decision fatigue, follow along. I share the things I see in million-dollar homes every week so you don’t have to figure it out the hard way. #DreamHomeBuild #NewBuildTips #InteriorDesignerLife #TimelessHome #HomeBuildingJourney
