THE STYLE GUIDE & COMPANION WORKBOOK

the measurements every designer knows (and you should too)

Sometimes the difference between a room that feels "off" and one that feels professionally designed comes down to a few simple numbers. Inside this guide, you'll find the exact measurements designers use for furniture placement, lighting, rugs, artwork, walkways, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and more. Because decorating gets a lot easier when you stop guessing.

Inside, you'll find worksheets and exercises to help you learn:

  • How far your sofa should be from your coffee table
  • The biggest rug sizing mistakes people make
  • The correct heights for lighting, artwork, and mirrors
  • The measurements that make rooms feel comfortable and functional
  • The spacing rules designers use in every room of the house

It's structured to help you stop guessing and start seeing your home more clearly.

Most decorating mistakes happen before you ever buy anything.

The Room Isn't Wrong. The Measurements Might Be.

One of the most common things I hear from homeowners is:

"I don't know what's wrong with the room, but something doesn't feel right."

Most of the time, the problem isn't what you bought...

It's the measurements.

The rug is too small.

The artwork is hung too high.

The chandelier is too low.

The sofa is too far from the coffee table.

After more than 30 years in interior design, I've learned that these small details often make the biggest difference.

This guide gives you the exact numbers professionals rely on every day, so you can make better decisions before spending money.

THE TRUTH?

most decorating mistakes happen before you ever buy anything.

A room can have beautiful furniture, beautiful lighting, and beautiful accessories and still feel wrong.

Why?

Because scale, spacing, and proportion matter.

The good news?

These aren't mysterious designer secrets.

They're measurements.

And once you know them, decorating becomes far less frustrating.

That's exactly why I created this guide.
