Summary

Today we are talking about a highly visual topic, so you’re going to need to tap into your visual mind to really understand this one. If you share your life with somebody, you most likely have different tastes, so we want to talk about how you can style with clashing tastes. We suggest creating a North Star, or a spot where you can both compile visuals of what you want in your home so that you can have a good idea of what the other person wants, and then come to an agreement in the areas where your tastes can work together. Based on our experience, men tend to have a more contemporary style while women lean toward a more cozy style, but this can also vary depending on a person’s age and what they think portrays success. Creating a North Star 3:09 Color 8:13 Never hate anything in your home 10:39 Whoever will be using the room most should have say 13:21 Masculine and feminine elements in style 18:50 Learn the reason behind why they hate something 22:25 “Always start with what we call as the North Star, and that is pages and pages of visuals. We do this for our clients in Pinterest boards, and then we put together packets. You could have a large bulletin board at your house, you can take an entire wall and just continue to tape things up. You can do it all virtually if you’re a paperless household, do it on your computers and save back and forth. You can both be on a Pinterest board.” 6:59 grove.co/dearalice https://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/ https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/ https://alicelanehome.com/ https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHome https://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/ https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecity News Letter: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5 Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Dear Alice, a lifestyle approach to interior design.

0:22.3

Hello everyone!

0:23.3

Welcome to Dear Alice, today we are talking about really juicy topic.

0:28.5

Yeah, it's a buckle your seat belts.

0:30.5

This is actually a highly visual topic, so you're going to need to tap into your visual mind,

0:36.0

to be able to really understand this and we're going to do the best to describe in great detail

0:40.4

what we're describing. If you share your life with somebody, if you have a significant other,

0:46.6

if you're married, if you're partnered, and you share a home, you most likely have different taste.

0:54.4

And so today's podcast is on designing with conflicting opinions.

0:59.9

We usually come up from different backgrounds, our parents did things one way, the other

1:03.8

parent did things one way. Usually some people are highly organized, other people are more artistic

1:09.7

and messy, and then there's always the question of what they think is beautiful because all of our

1:17.4

experiences teach us that we'd rather live one way or the other or all the other in-betweens

1:23.6

because there's a million beautiful ways to live. And one of the things that I feel like we

1:28.0

really pride ourselves on at Alice Lane is that we can design within any style and we're really good

1:33.8

at being mixed masters and mixing all these elements in. So before we get started, I want to give you

1:39.9

a quick word from our sponsor and that is Grove. I personally really love Grove and use it in my home

1:47.4

healthy plant-based nontoxic cleaning products are super important to me and I have to say that the

1:53.6

good ones are actually more enjoyable to use. The smells are more botanical and they're more organic,

2:01.9

they don't burn my lungs, or when I inhale they don't hurt my nose. So it's hard to know how to

2:08.2

start and get into it and who to trust, and that's where Grove Collaborative comes in. With Grove,
