Home styling

Making the rooms you already have look and work better, using the furniture, textiles and objects already in them. Nothing drilled, nothing thrown away, nothing bought unless you want it.

This is the one thing on this list that only happens in person. It takes a day and rooms with nobody in them — pick a day when the house is empty, and come back in the evening.

When this is the right call

There is usually a specific itch. The kitchen that annoys you every single morning. The desk that landed in a spare corner when working from home was temporary, three years ago. The living room you moved into last spring that still looks like you moved in last week. Or a room where everything is fine — and it still feels off.

“Feels off” has a name, almost every time: the layout, the scale of one piece, everything heavy sitting low while the walls stay bare, light coming from the wrong place, ten small objects where one large one should be. People post photos of rooms like this online every day, and strangers diagnose them within the hour. The fix is rarely new furniture. It is moving what you already have.

Knowing this and doing it are different afternoons. Advice — from a friend, from the internet, from a $40 virtual layout — ends as a list of chores. This ends as a finished room: I move, regroup and restyle with my own hands, and you walk back into the result.

What you get

Furniture moved and layouts reworked — you see and approve each change by photo
Shelves, surfaces and walls styled: what stays out, what goes away, what moves to another room
Things you already own put where they work, including things currently in a cupboard
A short list of anything genuinely worth buying, with links, inside a budget you set
Photos as I go, and a note of where everything ended up

How it works

You choose the rooms and the budgetAnd tell me what not to touch: anything with a history, anything someone else loves, anything that isn’t mine to move.

I work through itFurniture and layout first, then surfaces, shelves and walls. You see photos at each stage and can veto anything.

You come back to itWith a short note on what changed and why, so it holds after I’ve gone.

What it costs

$250one room, four to six hours, in one day

+$150each additional room, same day

For comparison: a virtual layout plan costs $30–45 online and the moving is still yours to do; online room design runs $129–999 and ends the same way. Someone who comes and does it with their hands charges $75–150 an hour plus a call-out fee. Mine is a flat rate for the day, and the room is finished when you walk back in.

I do not hang, drill or assemble anything. If something needs a drill, I leave a diagram with measurements for whoever does it. If you would rather do the room yourself later, I can leave only that — layout, shopping list and diagram — for $120.
