Summary

Home decor is a lot like fashion: the second we invest in a new piece of furniture or a new decor item, the catalogs and showrooms push a new trend. The items we just bought, then? They're suddenly out of style. Today I speak with interior designer Jessica Velazquez about curating rooms that are timeless. Jessica believes that style must always support lifestyle: when we play it right, we can design spaces that won't expire when stores usher in a new trend.   Here's a preview: [5:00] Does evergreen and minimalist mean boring? Debunking common home decor myths [12:00] The Number One way to avoid making costly design mistakes [18:00] The hierarchy of accent pieces: tips for refreshing a space by zeroing in on accessories [23:00] What color should we paint our walls? [27:00] An eco-tip and a correction   Resources mentioned: Jessica on Instagram Watch the extended version of this interview on Youtube Want more episodes like this one?
