If you are okay with a more organic look and a few imperfections (could argue is character), then a stencil is a great option. You can see some of the imperfections in this close up photo - they aren’t noticeable from far away but definitely not for a perfectionist! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/e8290bee-4774-48b9-ab62-92a32be70978/IMG_5245.jpg Blog - One Room Challenge: The Pantry - Week 3 - You can see where the base coat peeled here when I pulled the tape off moving the stencil around. I will need to touch these spots up later. This can happen for a few reasons (including using latex paint over an oil based paint), but in this case it’s because I didn’t give the base coat enough time to fully cure - so don’t make that mistake! https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/blog/one-week-challenge-the-pantry-week-2 monthly 0.5 2023-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/aabcdccd-4d90-4c8d-b223-82ee4b5fea87/ORC-Guest-400x218.png Blog -

The boxes never seem to fit in right and they get torn, blocking the drawer from opening fully. My kids are in there every day getting bags for snacks/lunches and it just turns chaotic very quickly. (BTW - I tried reusable bags and they never make it home, so they aren’t an option right now… I did find some awesome compostable plastic bag options that I am starting to switch to be more sustainable.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1663956083263-JW3W2EW051FH5GPWSGNN/IMG_0654.jpg Blog - Organizing Kitchen Drawers with Goodpick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1663956083382-4UZGFKPGOJOIO8G5ATIE/IMG_0656.jpg Blog - Organizing Kitchen Drawers with Goodpick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/a1ef70cb-564f-4572-9b17-405a628ee2dd/IMG_0655.jpg Blog - Organizing Kitchen Drawers with Goodpick - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/blog/pillow-inserts-up-your-pillow-game monthly 0.5 2022-09-15 https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/blog/seasonal-decorating monthly 0.5 2022-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/bb9f81db-a1b4-4a8b-b35d-700496850425/Fall.JPG Blog - Seasonal Decorating - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1662655050498-PX4N38PHJJXZ7032YFGZ/IMG_0242.jpg Blog - Seasonal Decorating https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1662655050362-CS1HFEX7XPBODDXKLZ3H/IMG_0243.jpg Blog - Seasonal Decorating https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1662655052251-TI60ZAWPYQ94NU35G12Q/IMG_0365.jpg Blog - Seasonal Decorating https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1662655092124-2YPFEXM98YAUA11LXS7A/IMG_0356.jpg Blog - Seasonal Decorating https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1662655092527-IK7THKBNYTV2V298F6ZK/IMG_0359.jpg Blog - Seasonal Decorating https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/6c23be3c-b134-4b65-baf9-ea6ef43e9393/IMG_0354_jpg.jpg Blog - Seasonal Decorating - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/blog/organizing-open-shelves-with-goodpick monthly 0.5 2022-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/ffeb390d-80cf-4a85-859d-31db9304a61d/Open+Shelves+2.jpg Blog - Organizing Open Shelves with Goodpick - In a living room space, you can use storage ottomans, closed media cabinets, lift top coffee tables, and bookcases. One of my favorite ways to add storage to an open bookcase is by using baskets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1310420c-bf18-4629-a52f-ffef22378b7e/Open+Shelves+1.jpg Blog - Organizing Open Shelves with Goodpick I partnered up with Goodpick, a home goods company that offers a wide variety of baskets and other storage items and they sent some of their Black Jute Cube Storage Baskets for me to style. I’ve been searching for a better solution to the baskets we had previously - which were not quite the right size for the shelves (and honestly not that nice to look at) and these work perfectly! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1660754801739-FX8QN3Y03BZAQP3U7V8U/DVD+storage.jpg Blog - Organizing Open Shelves with Goodpick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1660754801346-7WLODJNE79OSM8T7OF88/Goodpick+Toys.jpg Blog - Organizing Open Shelves with Goodpick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/3a68f103-4e98-471b-aa99-6f37fb87ed90/Laundry+Room.jpg Blog - Organizing Open Shelves with Goodpick - Baskets are a great way to add closed storage to any open shelf option, such as the laundry room or an entry way so don’t limit yourself to only using them in bookcases. They can also be used in a closet to help organize small items, such as medicines or toiletries. Ultimately, there is a reason baskets have been used for storage/organization for centuries – they’re a versatile and beautiful solution no matter where you use them! https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/blog/are-you-making-this-rug-mistake monthly 0.5 2022-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1657210384618-5784V9ULDXXW0WH001N0/Rug%2Btoo%2Bsmall.jpg Blog -

What does it really cost to decorate your home? One of the biggest mistakes I see clients make when it comes to home décor projects is that they severely underestimate how much it costs to update their space. One of the easiest ways to do it, is to list out every item you will need for a particular space, research how much each of those items costs, and then add it all up - I bet once you start doing that, you would be shocked at how fast the prices add up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/ed4c28a6-febd-480c-89e5-094b1954a6a2/Lead+Magnet+Photo.png Blog - What does it really cost to decorate your home? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/blog/one-room-challenge-spring-2022-week-5 monthly 0.5 2022-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1651769052085-9MKC6CNE3YZ3USRTD63Q/IMG_8184.jpg Blog - One Room Challenge Spring 2022 Week 5 - The Laundry Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1651769056802-6FZQWWQ9A6W4YKQZ5OHY/IMG_8185.jpg Blog - One Room Challenge Spring 2022 Week 5 - The Laundry Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1651769056552-D78N7UYI0ZQZPA3BFFGR/IMG_8186.jpg Blog - One Room Challenge Spring 2022 Week 5 - The Laundry Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/43b1bf3a-3088-45bd-84a3-d737c2de3bf7/IMG_8138.jpg Blog - One Room Challenge Spring 2022 Week 5 - The Laundry Room - I ended changing one of the paint colors from my original selection, which I knew was a possibility when I started the project. Something I always talk about with my clients is how lighting can really alter a paint color, so it’s important to select it in the actual space. I knew that the addition of another light (and changing the color temperature) could drastically alter the way the colors I selected looked in the space (another reason I suggest picking paint last), and sure enough, it did. The Urbane Bronze color looked amazing with the old light fixture, but with the new, brighter lights it really fought with the color of the appliances and appeared more muddy than rich. So, instead, I selected Iron Ore, which is a soft black shade and works amazingly well with Alabaster (the wall color selection). https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/blog/one-room-challenge-spring-2022-week-4 monthly 0.5 2022-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1651242029253-JLOS2ET6MMEE7FIKGX8X/IMG_7718.jpg Blog - One Room Challenge Spring 2022 - Week 4, The Laundry Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1651242039414-A4MMG0RLVB4VR4BX3VOE/IMG_7717.jpg Blog - One Room Challenge Spring 2022 - Week 4, The Laundry Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1651242296794-PDXRJWMEQG73992COETM/IMG_8079.jpg Blog - One Room Challenge Spring 2022 - Week 4, The Laundry Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1651242296530-UMXOYEXN4XJ0PEDIH9I3/IMG_8080.jpg Blog - One Room Challenge Spring 2022 - Week 4, The Laundry Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1651242302355-6NGY6OAUO9T42QYXYWRL/IMG_8084.jpg Blog - One Room Challenge Spring 2022 - Week 4, The Laundry Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1651242302901-XEZWKW1UZWSXXRCX4FFT/IMG_8085.jpg Blog - One Room Challenge Spring 2022 - Week 4, The Laundry Room https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/blog/one-room-challenge-spring-2022-week-3 monthly 0.5 2022-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/08623773-4f1d-4e18-9c58-644ae5a91112/Laundry+Room+Rendering.jpg Blog - One Room Challenge Spring 2022 - Week 3 - The Laundry “Room” - Make it stand out This is the view as if you were standing outside and we could make the exterior wall invisible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/d301d3b0-d0ee-48a3-b988-1b171f2abaa9/laundry+room+rendering+2.jpg Blog - One Room Challenge Spring 2022 - Week 3 - The Laundry “Room” - Make it stand out This is the view as if you are standing on the stairs, looking down. https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/blog/one-room-challenge-spring-2022-week-2 monthly 0.5 2022-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/75fac7f0-c183-4478-aa1e-37fa697ea8ae/bathroom.jpg Blog - One Room Challenge Spring 2022 - Week 2 - The Laundry “Room” - Make it stand out Fully functional basement bathroom!

It’s also motorized, which I know is a huge plus for a lot of people. I am also obsessed with this cognac color - its warm without being too dark and a great way to add some texture to a room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1616594626043-JCIZYSLL462JMG2EEZZW/Recliner+2.png Blog - Designer Top Picks: Reclining Sofas and Chairs I love the exposed frame on this one - and that it comes in a variety of upholstery options! Its definitely a more modern aesthetic, so if that doesn’t fit your vibe, I totally understand! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1616595785342-JH6XQYH3TW93CM3FZROL/Recliner+3.png Blog - Designer Top Picks: Reclining Sofas and Chairs This is a pretty traditional/overstuffed armchair (and is probably my husband’s favorite) but I love that it also just looks like a comfortable chair that you can curl up in. I also could see this being an amazing option for a theater room, especially in this dark leather option. (It does have other upholstery choices). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1616610881373-L8T7T45EP4MTW2RNDLHI/Recliner%2B1.jpg Blog - Designer Top Picks: Reclining Sofas and Chairs Who says that pretty reclining sectionals aren’t a thing? It’s motorized and also comes in a smaller configuration, a regular sofa AND an armchair (that almost made my top chair list). Side note: Please don’t buy a whole matching set of this… I’m only telling you they exist in case you really don’t need a sectional but love this style (I could go on but this is probably a whole other blog post). I love the boucle fabric on it - but this is my only complaint as well. Currently it’s only available in this upholstery choice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1616610327382-VWWHEGDSARR5YWLLZ6UY/Reclining%2BSofa%2B2.jpg Blog - Designer Top Picks: Reclining Sofas and Chairs Okay, so technically this one is a sectional too, but I couldn’t pass up the extra storage this one provides in addition to reclining. As a mom to two little kids, I know that storage is always a bonus and this is perfect for extra blankets, pillows, or even a place to stash those baby/toddler toys that never seem to have a good spot to live. You can also grab this in other configurations, including just as a sofa (but then you lose the storage). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1616610850883-JK4X0ENBDFZTAZB23MAT/reclining%2Bsofa%2B3.jpg Blog - Designer Top Picks: Reclining Sofas and Chairs This is a little bit of a different style, but I love that its a little more unexpected/modern than some other options. This is an option that I think would be great for a theater room, or a teen hangout - it’s definitely a more casual option but still has really pretty lines. https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/blog/shop-the-look-bachelor-living-room monthly 0.5 2021-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1616002181557-SY7SAJ1F853M8OTTXY64/Bachelor+Living+Room.png Blog - Shop the Look: Bachelor Living Room https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/blog/when-to-hire-a-pro monthly 0.5 2021-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1615483741290-KKZMIGC2EK1G4P6RXYSZ/unsplash-image-w2JtIQQXoRU.jpg Blog - When to hire a design pro? - 1) You don’t have the time Designing a complete overhaul of a space takes time - it just does. Don’t believe me? Think about how long it takes you to pick out a sofa or a paint color - then multiply how long it took by how many decisions you need to make…. shocked yet? Designers make decisions like this every day, and most likely, they can make those decisions faster than you will be able to. Besides, how long have you been saying, “we will get to that space eventually - just haven’t had the time to do it yet.” It’s okay to make an investment in your home, and if you find that time is the reason you haven’t gotten to it yet, hire a designer to help. Having a space you love will be worth it - trust me! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1615483909124-DG51QPRNY8UFKVZ8F2K8/unsplash-image--2vD8lIhdnw.jpg Blog - When to hire a design pro? - 2) It’s causing lots of stress (or you hate doing it) I love window shopping for home décor, furniture, tile, flooring, lighting, etc. - it’s so fun to me to dream up all the ways I could redo different spaces. Honestly, I shop for home décor like other people shop for clothes or makeup. When my husband and I first got married, he was active duty military and traveled a lot. We had a joke that I would redecorate every time he left on a trip. If you find the idea of shopping for a new sofa, or picking out a paint color to be something you dread - hire someone to help! We hire someone to cut our grass - not because we aren’t capable, but because we hate doing it and it’s worth the money to have that time back in our lives. Just because you could do it yourself, doesn’t mean you have to - especially if you hate it. In addition, if you are finding that home renovation projects are causing stress in your relationship, hire someone. Designers are trained to find the best solution to the problem. Don’t let a kitchen renovation or bathroom update cause issues in your marriage because you can’t agree on a solution. A designer may have an idea that neither of you have considered yet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1615483822844-BZ5VKR9Y0X20KAZSI6VE/unsplash-image-MbY_q6A7lK0.jpg Blog - When to hire a design pro? - 3) You feel completely overwhelmed/don’t know where to begin Home renovations can be very overwhelming and sometimes you either don’t know where to start or you have decision paralysis. In most cases, you can hire a designer for a consultation to grab some ideas/pick their brain and then take the project on from there. If you just feel constantly overwhelmed throughout the project, hire a designer so you aren’t adding stress to your life. You will enjoy the final product more if you aren’t constantly second guessing whether you made the right choice or remembering how stressful the entire project was. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1615483854440-MRAMTBGWJOF92L3YGI7W/unsplash-image-fY8Jr4iuPQM.jpg Blog - When to hire a design pro? - 4) You don’t know where to find what you’re looking for or who to hire Maybe you know exactly what you want the space to look like, but have no idea where to find the pieces you’re dreaming of or who to hire to make sure the work is done correctly. Designers have connections in the industry that the general public usually doesn’t have and they work with other professionals on a daily basis. We know where to shop and who to work with - and probably have resources that aren’t even available for you to use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1615483540358-FZZTAHKQWQH4J99KA5FU/unsplash-image-GUmRXc-vOxw.jpg Blog - When to hire a design pro? - 5) You can’t visualize everything together Not everyone has an eye for design. It’s okay - we all have our gifts, and that may not be yours. You may love how a space looks/feels but have no idea how to replicate it in your home. Maybe you have a sofa you love but don’t know which rug to get that will work with that and your floors. Instead of guessing and crossing your fingers that it will work - hire a designer. It will save you time, money, and energy and you will be so much happier with the end result. I love gardens and gardening, but I really struggle with visualizing how all the different plants will work together, their spacing, etc, which is why I am hiring a landscape designer to tell me what to plant to maximize curb appeal in the climate I’m in. I’m willing to do the work, but I need some guidance and paying someone for that service will save me time and money in the long run. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1615483643544-IVIV25DXL0Q2Z1PKHWHT/unsplash-image-t1blIJO_CxU.jpg Blog - When to hire a design pro? - 6) You have a tight budget This one seems counterintuitive because of the added design fees, but hear me out. If you have ever bought a piece of furniture or appliance that doesn’t fit or painted your walls and immediately hated it, you may understand. In these cases, you either have to live with the wrong choice, pay to fix it, or hope that you can return it (not possible with paint just FYI). It’s frustrating but it’s happened to all of us. Good designers are detailed orientated and know to check for these things before spending any money so they rarely make these mistakes (and when they do, good designers fix them for you). In addition, good designers know the best way to invest your money so that your budget goes further than you anticipated. https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/blog/designer-tips-picking-paint-color monthly 0.5 2021-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1614614764486-MRH0NCH5A44IQ5APP2KM/IMG_3181.jpg Blog - Designer Tips: Choosing a paint color - 1) DON’T pick a (final) paint color in the store. There are too many choices and the fluorescent lighting is terrible, which will change the way the color looks. I know it’s so tempting to do it, especially if you’re super busy or live far away or another million other reasons, but I promise 9 times out of 10, you will be disappointed with the final result if you do this. Grab some chips (as many as you like - go crazy - and bring them home!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1614614910029-KNVN2QNLU65SXMRDHT6U/IMG_3198.jpg Blog - Designer Tips: Choosing a paint color - 2) DON’T pick a color (solely) because you liked how it looked somewhere else (magazine, blog post, friend’s house, TV show, etc) If you love the feel of a color, definitely try it out and see if you like it in your space too, but you still need to grab a sample and check it in YOUR space. Lighting and other finishes make a huge difference in what a color looks like in a space. For example, Ben Moore’s Swiss Coffee looks like an amazing creamy white that is soft and bright on TV - but in my home with the red oak hardwoods, pure white trim, and cooler accent colors - it pulls yellow instead of creamy. NOT the look I’m going for. It may be great in your home, but you need to verify that. Use photos as inspiration, not as how to guides.

This is an issue for two reasons. First, you cannot tell from that little 2x3 inch chip what that color is going to look like. Even professional designers don’t do this. We get larger chips (at least 8x10) and move them around the room to make sure it pulls how we want it to. Secondly, you cannot tell what the color is truly going to look like when you put it against a different color, so unless you have white walls, the color on the chip is pulling from the previous wall color. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1614620646691-AUX2HV43736JZJNMBFFF/IMG_3205.jpg Blog - Designer Tips: Choosing a paint color - 1) DO get a sample of the color to try in your home. If you don’t follow any other tips I give - this one is KEY. You need a sample to see how it will look in your home, with your lighting, and with your other finishes. You can do this in two ways - buying an actual sample of the paint from the store or ordering a sample from Samplize. Samplize is a great option, especially if you are using Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore, or Farrow and Ball paints because they are cheaper than the samples you can get and with significantly less waste. (Samplize does not offer Behr paint at this time). They also use real paint to create the samples which is always going to be more accurate than a printed swatch. In either case, make sure if your walls are painted any color other than white, that you put the sample against a white board to test it out. (This is a peel and stick sample I created with Sherwin-Williams Color-to-Go sample paint - not from Samplize) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1614620711554-XFFS3899LKN14VEQPD4X/paint+colors.png Blog - Designer Tips: Choosing a paint color - 2) DO buy high quality paint. Look, there is a reason why designers, painters and other professionals recommend Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Farrow and Ball paints over those you can get at big box stores, and it’s because the quality is so much better. Not only do these brands provide better coverage (which means fewer coats and overall less paint), but the pigmentation is better and the colors are richer. Sherwin-Williams also has sales pretty regularly on their paints, and with their sale prices they aren’t that much more expensive than the top of the line box store options. If you don’t want to go with one of those, Behr is your next best option in my opinion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1614622123972-GTTMG270F4AWA2XJU5LL/IMG_3206.jpg Blog - Designer Tips: Choosing a paint color - 3) DO pick your paint color last. It is much easier to match paint to a fabric sample (say in a pillow or rug) than it is to match a rug to a paint sample. On top of that, paint is significantly cheaper/easier to change than other elements in your space (such as sofa, flooring or wallpaper). You can certainly have a general idea of the color you want to use prior to selecting furnishings and other elements of the design, but wait to pick your final color at least until you’ve picked out the major players in the room (furnishings, window treatments, flooring). https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/blog/shop-the-look-patio-lounge-area monthly 0.5 2021-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1613762174105-YBOYMOPH475WZAZO14QC/IMG_3079.jpg Blog - Shop the Look: Patio Lounge Area https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1613757246592-G615762ZYB5AWL1Y0JDY/Patio.jpg Blog - Shop the Look: Patio Lounge Area https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/blog/designer-tips-throw-pillows monthly 0.5 2021-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1613230521061-VXQKOE4FXK3DFM8JF30I/IMG_3027.jpg Blog - Designer Tips: Throw Pillows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1613230593303-F1A8WXYPU6H4FNAVSZS3/IMG_3029.jpg Blog - Designer Tips: Throw Pillows In other news, I need a manicure… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1613230657306-JF4Q3QAPSD7LS5PDI1IR/IMG_3028.jpg Blog - Designer Tips: Throw Pillows https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/blog/ashland-dining-room monthly 0.5 2021-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1612617220238-6XDFUNYF4S89H8YRYCIB/Dining-Room-Concept-Board.jpg Blog - Ashland Dining Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1612886615163-RXJEHD5U7EQDG6T2T20Q/shop%2Bthe%2Blook%2Bdining%2Broom%2Bfloor%2Bplan.jpg Blog - Ashland Dining Room https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/blog/styling-a-bed monthly 0.5 2021-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1612620285469-6DH9DHJKTWZ0V1QW7X1F/bed-guide-picture.jpg Blog - Styling a Bed https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/blog/moody-master-bedroom monthly 0.5 2021-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1612137030238-UQ4SBBE1K4FG6P4DR95O/Blue-and-Gold-Master-Bedroom.jpg Blog - Moody Master Bedroom Paint Color Paint color can make or break a project, but the good news is this is actually the aspect that has the most bang for your buck in terms of impact - and honestly is one of the easiest DIY projects around. Dark paints have gotten a bad rep as making spaces feel smaller but dark colors tend to recede - making walls appear further away. (Overcrowding your space with too many furnishings/stuff or with furnishings at the wrong scale is more likely to make your room feel small than a dark paint color.) For this project, Sherwin-William’s Indigo Batik is the paint color I selected. Its a deep gray blue with some green undertones that still feels warm and cozy. Bed/Bedding Your bed and bedding should create a focal point in your bedroom since it’s the primary piece of furniture in the room. For this project, I went with an upholstered bed to add some lightness to the space. Now, if you have a cat who likes to use your bed or other furniture as a scratching post (bad kitty!), I would not recommend an upholstered bed/headboard. Even if you get it in a performance fabric, it will not hold up to kitty claws. The bedding is the European Flax Linen Styled Bedding Set from West Elm and is just the perfect combination of textures and billowy softness that invites you to come crawl in and fall asleep. You can buy the individual pieces separately (so if you already have sheets you love, maybe just grab the duvet cover, pillow shams, and throws) but for most people its easier to visualize the whole thing put together. Bedding is somewhere I suggest that you spend a little more money as quality bedding can have SUCH a dramatic impact on your sleep - which in turn has a direct impact on mental wellbeing and overall health. I am loving linen bedding right now for multiple reasons including that it just has such a great texture. Its also a natural material and has a cool hand but also insulates well. This works well for my husband (always hot) and I (always cold) because he appreciates the coolness of the sheets and I love the insulating qualities. Now, if you’re someone that HAS to have crisp sheets that look freshly ironed/steamed, linen is not the way to go as it wrinkles easily and while I think adds to its texture/charm, it will drive you crazy. Window Treatments Window treatments are often overlooked in a design (honestly, when I first started at RMCAD, I would get in ‘trouble’ for forgetting them haha), but without them a design does not look complete. A designer tip is to layer your window treatments - this can be blinds with drapes or double drapes - or for one client who hated drapes we did roller shades with roman blinds. In this project we are layering the existing white roman shades with these pretty blue drapes from West Elm which are light enough to brighten up the dark blue paint, but also add some texture and just enough color. Night Stand I selected leggy night stands to keep the space feeling more open/airy. If you can see under furniture, it helps keep it from feeling too heavy, especially in a small space. It is also helpful in this case as it will help balance the paint color. Drawers on a nightstand are so practical that I almost never recommend something without them - they give you an easy place to store essentials nearby without having to pile up things on the surface. I’ve found that stuff/clutter collects more stuff - if you can clear off the surface of a table top of “stuff” it is less likely to gather more stuff there. The gold accents of the hardware and legs will pop nicely against the blue and works well with the gold hues in the rug. Chair I think every bedroom needs a spot to sit that’s not the bed… a chair, bench at the end of the bed, sofa (I dream of the day I have a bedroom large enough to have a sofa). This bedroom is a little tight on space, so a bench at the foot of the bed wasn’t feasible. Instead I selected a mid-century modern styled armchair which will sit in the corner and provide a space to take shoes on/off or read a book. This one comes in a variety of upholstery options which is always a bonus - I always recommend choosing a performance fabric for something you’re sitting on, especially if you have children or pets. Its just a better investment because the furniture will look better for longer. Light Fixtures Next, the light fixtures - the “jewelry” of the design. I love picking fun light fixtures for a space, but you also need to make sure they coordinate with your other selections - you don’t want an ultra modern chandelier if you’re going for a farmhouse feel. Also, you need more than one overhead light in a space - lighting looks best and has the biggest impact when it is layered and mixed. For the overhead light, I selected this rustic, airy chandelier with a linen shade which complements the bedding and softens the light. Make sure when selecting a light fixture that it will fit in the space. Look for a blog post coming soon on some general guidelines for this (I’ll link it here once I have it up!) I selected some swing arm sconces in black and gold for either side of the bed which will double as task and accent lighting. They also tie together the finish of the chandelier and the nightstand hardware and provide a little bit of a sculptural element. I love sconces instead of bedside table lamps because they don’t take up space on the nightstand (and won’t be knocked over in the middle of the night… not that I have ever done that or anything). Rug A rug is a great way to tie everything together and bring some warmth and color to a space. This rug is power loomed polypropylene with a cotton backing, which makes it highly durable at a very reasonable price. The size of the rug should be dependent on the size of your bed and room, but you want to try to have the bed on the rug with three feet on either side to make the space feel grounded. In this project, there are hardwood floors, so the rug will help warm up the space and keep feet from getting a cool shock in the morning when getting up. Rugs can be used with most wall to wall carpeting as well - the trick is to pick something in a different texture/pile height. This rug combines the blue, ivory and gold tones from the other selections in a very impactful abstract pattern that will feel modern in the space. Accessories Artwork is something that is highly personal and should speak to you (and it doesn’t have to ‘match’ the rest of the room). In this case, the design pulls colors from this piece into the rest of the room. It is a calming watercolor scene that is just a little dreamlike and invokes nature and the calming feelings that come with that. I also strongly believe that every space should have some greenery, so we’ve suggested this succulent trio. Succulents are easy to take care of especially if you forget to water your plants regularly (me) and can survive being a little neglected. They are also slow growers, so you don’t need to worry about replanting as frequently as some other plants. Hopefully this jumpstarted some ideas for you in your own space! I’d love to know your thoughts! Also, if you’re sitting there thinking - man, I wish she would do this for one of my spaces… well guess what? I can!

There’s this idea that a beautiful, functional home is only possible in certain seasons of life—once your kids stop making messes (so, basically when they move out), once your pets have crossed the rainbow bridge, or once you have more time, more money, more capacity. But I don’t buy that. I believe everyone deserves to have a home they love—in every season. Because good design doesn’t just make a space prettier—it makes life easier, calmer, better. And having a space that reflects who you are and how you live? That’s not a luxury. It’s self-care. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1632923223229-VB78JEL9J69EITIGUOZY/IMG_4584.jpg About - Maybe you have no idea where to start. Maybe you’re totally overwhelmed. Or maybe you just don’t have the time, energy, or desire to make every single decision a home project requires. That’s where I come in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/4d6ecac5-44a2-434a-9d93-a9fadcbfda01/IMG_4675.jpg About - If you want to be part of the process—but with a professional to guide you, make recommendations, and help you make the right decisions—you’re in the right place. My approach blends communication, education, and thoughtful design choices to create beautiful, functional spaces that truly work for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/0b8bf4dc-6220-4f89-851e-a5d0ebaa22cb/BrittanyTharp-15.jpg About - Hi, I’m Brittany Tharp - Owner and Principal Designer at Brittany Tharp Interiors. After eight years teaching elementary and middle school, I stepped away to stay home with my young kids—and realized I had no desire to return to the classroom (at least not in the traditional sense). What I did discover was a deep passion for helping others create beautiful, functional spaces in their homes. With the support of my husband, I went back to school and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design with a concentration in Sustainable Design from the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design. Since then, I’ve worked with clients across the U.S.—from Virginia and Texas to Connecticut and Georgia - and even internationally in Canada. I believe everyone deserves access to a beautiful home, and that great design should always reflect the people who live there. My style leans bright, comfortable, and livable - with inspiration drawn from nature and a strong focus on sustainability. I currently live in Moseley, Virginia with my husband, our two daughters, and our spirited Shiba Inu. When I’m not designing, you can find me in the kitchen, out in the garden, planning our next trip, or soaking up time with my family. https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/wait-list daily 0.75 2023-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/1675788725063-GX1UDWC2I8DID5G1VOIM/unsplash-image-x6pnKtPZ-8s.jpg Waiting List - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/links daily 0.75 2025-07-02 https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/waiting-list-1 daily 0.75 2025-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847902870-ZOUR0EX0L2QSQNRC1SP2/image-asset.jpeg https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/shopmyposts daily 0.75 2022-09-22 https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/shopmyposts/primarybedroom monthly 0.5 2022-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/ab95bfaf-7ac9-4a4a-b1a3-7da1a1cd8916/primary+bedroom+with+beckett.jpg Shop My Posts - Primary Bedroom - Make it stand out Throw Pillows | Nightstand with Drawers | Round Nightstand | Desk Lamps | Throw Blanket | Artwork above Bed | Duvet Cover | Paint https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/shopmyposts/basementbathroom monthly 0.5 2022-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/da35596e-6501-41b1-af01-f38bbee77d0b/bathroom+update.jpg Shop My Posts - Basement Bathroom - Make it stand out Shower Niche | Faucet | Showerhead | Shower Curtain Rod | Toilet Roll Holder | Hand Towel Holder Towel Hooks | Lighted Mirror (similar) | Flooring | Paint Color https://www.brittanytharpinteriors.com/shopmyposts/secondaryentryway monthly 0.5 2022-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005b0cfdfad4a364920de29/f43fd05d-bb5d-46b7-b948-0ac609335f9c/Mudroom+entry.jpg Shop My Posts - Secondary Entryway - Make it stand out Cabinet (see this post for Hack!) | Tray | Mirror | Coat Rack | Florals (from HomeGoods) | Brass Knot
