Ideas for Designing a Living Room Here’s something nobody tells you about living room budgets: the room absorbs roughly 38% of interior design spending in most American homes, and yet it’s still the one people feel least satisfied with after spending the money. I’ve watched clients drop $20,000 the median US renovation spend in 2025, … Read more
Ideas Home Accessories The most memorable room I’ve ever walked into didn’t have expensive furniture. The sofa was mid-range, the floors were standard, and the walls were a plain warm white. What it had was a shelf styled like someone had thought about it for longer than thirty seconds books alternating horizontal and vertical, a … Read more
Living Hall Decoration Ideas: My own hallway was the last room I decorated. Two years after moving in. It got walked through dozens of times a day and thought about almost never which is exactly the trap most people fall into with their hall space. The thing is, the hallway is the first impression every … Read more
Dining Room Wall Decor The dining room I’m sitting in right now has one wall I’m still not happy with after four years. Not because I haven’t tried I’ve hung things on it, taken them down, repainted it once, hung different things, taken those down. The problem was never what I was putting on the … Read more
Tudor Style Homes A friend of mine bought a 1928 Tudor in a leafy East Coast suburb three years ago.

Lover House My grandparents had a house that nobody could quite describe accurately. Not beautiful exactly the proportions were slightly off, the kitchen was too small, the hallway had no natural light. But it felt like the most settled, warm, deeply comfortable place most people who visited had ever been in. Forty-three years of marriage … Read more
Lounge Interior Ideas The lounge I’m most proud of helping redesign wasn’t a big room. Medium-sized, awkward proportions, a window that looked directly into the neighbor’s fence. The client had been living with it for three years, liked nothing about it, and had already bought two sofas in two years trying to fix the problem … Read more
Home Additions A neighbor of mine spent eighteen months planning a second story addition. Permits, architect, structural engineer, the whole sequence done correctly. Two weeks before construction started, she found out her HOA had a height restriction that her architect hadn’t checked. The addition she’d designed was six inches too tall. Six inches. The redesign … Read more
DrHomey Advice on Designing The first room I ever designed for someone other than myself, I made every beginner mistake in one project. Bought the sofa before I’d measured the wall it needed to sit against. Picked a paint color under store lighting that looked nothing like it did at home. Filled every shelf because … Read more
How Choose Perfect Sofa DrHomey I bought the wrong sofa once. Not a disaster nobody got hurt, the house didn’t burn down but I measured the room and forgot to measure the doorway. The thing arrived, got halfway through the hallway at a diagonal angle the delivery guys tried three different ways, and eventually had … Read more
