A Designer's Cheat Sheet

You know that feeling when you know something in your house feels off… but you can’t figure out what?

The rug feels too small.
The art looks weird above the sofa.
The curtains don’t quite look right.
Your mirror feels a little… off.

And you end up Googling, measuring, second-guessing, and hoping you’re getting it right.

I’ve been there.

And here’s the thing: the most beautiful art in the world can actually take away from your space if it’s hung at the wrong height. The perfect rug can make a room feel awkward if it’s too small. And gorgeous curtains won’t look right if they’re the wrong length or hung too low.

So many of those “why doesn’t this look right?” moments come down to a few simple things:

Scale. Spacing. Proportion.

I’ve spent countless hours studying design, researching the measurements and proportions professional designers recommend, and testing those principles in my own home. I took everything I’ve learned and distilled it into one simple, easy-to-reference cheat sheet.

Introducing: The Designer’s Cheat Sheet

A quick-reference guide to help you make confident design decisions without hiring a designer or spending a fortune.

Inside, you’ll find practical rules and measurements for things like:

• Hanging art and mirrors — how high to hang it and how large it should be

• Rugs — choosing the right size and placement for your room

• Curtains — how high to hang them, how long they should be, and how wide they need to be

• Furniture — getting scale and proportions right so pieces work together

• Lighting — how to choose the right size and height for your fixtures

• Spacing & proportions — the little measurements that can make a BIG difference

Plus the design rules, formulas, and little tricks I’ve learned from making plenty of mistakes in my own home.

And the goal isn't just to make your home look better—it’s to help you spend smarter.

Knowing the right size before you order means fewer wrong-size purchases, fewer returns, and less time and money wasted trying to figure it out after the fact.

Think of this as the cheat sheet I wish I had when I was designing my first house.

No more wondering if your art is too high.
No more buying the wrong size rug.
No more ordering curtains only to realize they’re too short.

No more second-guessing.

Just simple, practical design guidance you can pull up whenever you're making a decision in your home.
