Feeling cramped in your own home? It might not be a square footage issue but rather how your space is styled. Paying for furniture styling can help you reimagine your interiors, making them feel more spacious and functional without the need for costly renovations.
What is furniture styling?
Furniture styling is the art of arranging and selecting pieces to create a space that is both beautiful and functional. It goes beyond just placing furniture in a room—it’s about creating flow, balance, and intentionality. I consider proportions, textures, and layouts to enhance how a space feels and functions. Whether it’s repositioning existing pieces, incorporating new ones, or layering in elements like rugs and lighting, styling ensures your home feels cohesive, spacious, and inviting—without needing a full remodel.
Often, the furniture you already own can be rearranged to create a more open feel. Pulling pieces away from the walls and angling them thoughtfully can allow the space to breathe. You might also move pieces between rooms to better make everything fit. (I call this "shopping your space"). We'll work together with the pieces you already own to make it work better for your space. If something just simply doesn't fit, we can talk about purchases that might need to be made in the future in order for you space to work the way you want it.
Incorporating New Pieces
When introducing new furniture, scale is crucial. Oversized items can dominate a room, making it feel smaller. Opt for pieces that fit the proportions of your space. When styling your furniture, I can guide you in selecting items that enhance rather than overwhelm your rooms, while keeping your style and needs front of mind.

Choose the Right Rug Size
Rugs anchor a room, and their size can significantly impact how spacious it feels. One of the most commons ways to make a room feel too small it by having a rug that's too small. A small rug can make the space feel disjointed, while one that's appropriately sized can unify the area, giving an illusion of more space. Ensure your rug is large enough to fit under the front legs of your furniture to create a cohesive look.
The Impact of Furniture Scale
Items like sofas, coffee tables, and sideboards need to be proportionate to your room. A massive sofa in a modest living room can make the area feel cramped. Conversely, a petite coffee table might get lost in a spacious room. Balancing the scale of your furniture is essential for a harmonious feel.
Function Meets Aesthetics
A professional stylist ensures that while your home looks beautiful, it remains functional. I consider your lifestyle needs, ensuring that each piece serves a purpose without cluttering the space. This balance between FORM and function creates a home that's both livable and lovely.
