Description:

In this episode of the Uploft Interior Design Podcast, I share how I’m fully in hibernation mode thanks to freezing temperatures and Olympic binge-watching, while also being completely glued to social media for updates on the shocking Nancy Guthrie case. Between juggling sick family members and recording late at night, I dive into listener Kassidi’s design questions, starting with updates to her living room—where I praise her larger rug and new additions but caution against using formal art lights over casual canvas prints, urging her instead to add more functional lighting and better surface space. I then walk her through smart rug placement in her small entryway and long hallway, recommending a properly sized runner and a practical, patterned entry rug. Finally, I advise her on updating her in-laws’ bathroom, suggesting they paint the existing trim and doors and upgrade hardware rather than partially replacing doors or trim, focusing on improvements that deliver the most impact for resale and overall cohesion.
