you're listening to the beautiful mes podcast in this week's episode. I'm doing a flash Q&A

from our Instagram as well as some questions from our new hotline. We'll cover all kinds

of topics from business to personal to design and even some mom stuff. Okay, let's jump

in. So Keely's joining. I'm so excited to be back and to be interviewing

I'll see you for this fun AMA episode. Yeah, so let's just get right into it. All right,

so first question. Any tips for figuring out a good layout? I wish I had an interior

designer. Most people don't have an interior designer. I've never worked with one. It's

not like something that everyone is going to have and that's okay. I think for layout,

my best tip is to start with the big pieces. So start with your rug, your sofa or your

bed, whatever room you're doing. And make sure that the scale is right. Scale is the

most important thing. You don't want to have like, and it's sad when you buy a piece that's

off off scale and you have to switch. Like there's times when it's like the rug is just too

small for the room. You can't like no amount of compensating or moving things around is

going to change that. So if you get this scale right, that's good. I recommend if using

tape, if you're not sure, like tape it off. And then the next tip is color palette. So

if you get the scale right, the next thing is color palette. You can go neutral, you can

go bold, but whatever you do, just plan it from the beginning and stick to it. I know

that like having a strict color scheme is not for everyone. So you don't have to, but it

just makes it easier. Also sometimes it pushes me to try more colors like recently. I was

like, I'm going to cut off my pink, and I'm going to try some other colors. And did

you see my little office downstairs? It's painted like a different color. No, I'll show

you after this. Oh my gosh. What? It's painted a totally different color. I can't wait
