- You don't need a high-end designer or a lot of money to get a luxe look in your home. - For timeless and classic kitchen designs, opt for neutral tones in core elements like countertops and cabinets, and bring in pops of color with accessories and decor. - In tight entryways, choose practical storage solutions like a console table over a bench to keep the space functional and uncluttered.

Color Drenching & Liz Gilbert's "All the Way to the River"
In this episode of the Uploft Interior Design Podcast, I embrace the Halloween spirit by sharing my love for festive decorations and the joy of going all out with spooky decor. I then tackle a design question from Jess in Cleveland, who is seeking advice on color drenching for her baby boy's room. I discuss the pros and cons of using a rich bluey-green color, emphasizing the importance of considering how a child's belongings will interact with the color scheme. After that, I review Liz Gilbert's latest book, "All the Way to the River," expressing my disappointment with its lack of cohesive storytelling and engaging plot. I invite listeners to share their thoughts on both color drenching and Gilbert's book, and I look forward to bringing more design tips and pop culture insights in the next episode!

24:51 Credits and sponsor mention
- You don't need a high-end designer or a lot of money to get a luxe look in your home. - When designing an open space, use rugs and color palettes to create distinct zones and maintain cohesion. - In a basement, keeping built-ins and wainscoting a lighter color can make the space feel more inviting and less cave-like.
