How to Feel Confident Decorating Your Home (Even If You Don't Trust Your Own Taste Yet)
How do you become more confident decorating your home?
You become more confident when you stop relying on endless inspiration and start learning a simple process for making decorating decisions. Confidence doesn't come from suddenly knowing exactly what to buy or having perfect taste...it comes from understanding your own style, making decisions, and learning to trust yourself along the way.
Have you ever looked at a room in your home and thought, I know what I like when I see it...I just don't know how to make it happen in my house?
Maybe you've saved hundreds of beautiful rooms on Pinterest. Maybe you've taken the quizzes, followed the designers, wandered through HomeGoods and Target, and still find yourself standing in your own living room wondering what the heck you're supposed to do.
Here's the thing...
You probably don't need more inspiration.
You need confidence.
And sometimes, the easiest way to begin building your own confidence is to borrow someone else's for a little while.
In this episode, I'm talking about what actually changes when you start trusting yourself with your home...and why having someone walk alongside you can help you build the confidence to eventually make those decisions on your own.
In this episode, we'll talk about:
- Why more Pinterest inspiration isn't necessarily going to make you more confident decorating your home
- How having a process can help you stop second-guessing every decorating decision
- Why past decorating attempts that didn't stick aren't proof that you're bad at decorating
- What to do when you feel like you don't have enough time to tackle your home
- How borrowing someone else's confidence can help you begin building your own
- Why you don't need to overhaul your entire house to start making meaningful progress
You don't need to become a completely different person to create a home you're proud of.
You don't need perfect taste.
You don't need a giant budget.
And you definitely don't need another 400 Pinterest pins.
You need a way to make decisions...and enough confidence to make the next one.
Because eventually, the goal isn't to need Dani to tell you what to do.
The goal is to learn enough that you can look at your own home and think, "I know what this needs."
And that is a very different kind of decorating confidence.
Something is coming very soon that was created specifically to help you get there...and I'll be sharing more about it next week.
