Our Top 5 Interior Design Secrets
Tired of boring interiors? Want designer-level style? We’re unveiling insider tips from Merchandising & In-Home Styling Creative Director, Yesim! Elevate your space with unconventional techniques.
Scale & Proportion Hacks
Nail the look by mastering proportion. A bold, oversized vase can make a statement, while a cluster of smaller ones creates a more intimate, layered vibe. Whatever you choose, make sure your florals are the right height for the vessel.
Aim for a balanced 3:4 ratio—if your vase is 9 inches tall, your florals should be about 12 inches. Not too short, not overpowering—just right.

2. Curate Don't Clutter
When it comes to styling, less truly is more. Instead of filling every surface, focus on a few standout décor pieces that speak to your style. Let each item have space to breathe—group objects in odd numbers and play with varying heights, textures, and tones.
Create intentional focal points that guide the eye and add visual interest—without overwhelming the space.
DO DON’T
3. Elevate Your Seating with Layered Pillows
Give your seating a designer touch by thoughtfully layering pillows of different shapes and sizes. Start with a well-stuffed look—use inserts that are about 2 inches larger than the cover for that plush, full effect. For a balanced, curated feel, stick to three pillows:
Begin with a 24x24 pillow at the back for structure
Add a 20x20 pillow in front for dimension
Finish with a smaller accent—think a lumbar pillow or sphere cushion
Make sure the patterns and textures play nicely together: complementary, not competitive.
