Hey Friend!

Welcome to 2025 and a brand new series on the fig & farm (at home) podcast. Every Tuesday I'll be answering listener questions in my new Dear Dani series. Have a question that you want answered? Leave it here: hello@figandfarmathome.com

Today's question comes from Amanda who wants to know how to make her home look less disjointed. The 'fancy' word we use in the design world is 'cohesive' and the goal is to do just that, but it takes a bit of work. In this episode I'm sharing 5 quick tips so you can make your home look and feel cohesive when you aren't entirely sure where to start.

5 Easy ways to make your home look cohesive

1. Learn your design style (aka your aesthetic): pay attention to the all the details of the things you gravitate to time and time again.

2. Write those details down.

3. Leave your card at home and go on a field trip to your favorite home decor store. Act as-if you are making selections and see if the things you would choose match with the design elements you noticed in tip 1. If they do...you're on to your aesthetic. If they don't...go back to tip 1 and dive in a bit more.

4. Using your list, go through the items in your home and start decluttering items that don't match that aesthetic or design style, keeping the items that do.

5. Shop your home. Once the extra items are removed, now you have the foundation for shopping your home instead of shopping the store whenever inspiration to re-decorate a room strikes

Happy styling!!

dani
