One of the things that is hardest to do (I find) in interiors, is to get that eclectic mix of items and style them all together without it looking like a jumble sale. When items that you love just work together then that’s great, but when you’re trying to achieve that look from scratch it can be frustrating for you and disastrous for your design project if you’re just not progressing with it.
So, when I stumbled across this video last week, I thought you might all enjoy watching it and learning from Emily, who I later found out started out as a props stylist, then won a TV design competition and now hosts her own design show on HGTV. Maybe you already know her? Either way, I found the advice was fantastic, clearly presented and Emily even goes so far as to show the mistakes you can make when only applying one design theory.

Thanks for that, very interesting! Just had a quick scan across my sofa and I *think* I’ve done everything right, I guess if it looks pleasing to the eye then it’s ok but its great to understand why and how to save future mistakes!
I stumbled across something similar in pinterest which I saved as its quite helpful!

Amazing video! I’m a little worried I’m going to be blowing my wages this weekend in the home section of department stores!
