• 342 // How to organize messy spaces that never stay tidy

  Hi friend!  Are you tired of tripping over the pile of shoes or backpacks that inevitably pile up near the front door or spill out of the laundry room? Do you constantly get bogged down by the endless pile of papers that accumulate on your kitchen countertops? Do you wonder why you can't ever find the thing that you're certain you already owned?  It might not be a MESSY or an ORGANIZING problem...it might be a SYSTEM problem.  In today's episode I'm walking you through 5 simple steps for recognizing problem areas in your home that spill over into messiness and make you feel disorganized.  1. Identify your high traffic zones. Those are usually the culprits for the cogs in the wheel - the messy or unorganized places.  2. Disect the problem in that area. What's currently happening that isn't working.  3. Identify HOW you want that space to function for you. How can it work harder for you and not you for it.  4. Start making a plan for remediation - really thinking about what it is you need (or already have) in order to solve this problem.  5. Execute!  Bonus tips are included for when motivation at this stage is now the cog in your execution wheel.  Do you want help making your space feel more functional AND beautiful? Book a Decorating SOS Call.    Happy organizing! dani   // Links mentioned in show: // Become a Design Bestie by joining the newsletter: https://bit.ly/designbestie Email: [email protected] Website: https://figandfarmathome.com Join The Collective (monthly membership): https://www.figandfarmathome.com/thecollective Book a Decorating SOS Call: https://www.figandfarmathome.com/decorating-sos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figandfarm/ FREE Facebook Community: https://www.bit.ly/design101group Decluttering episode mentioned in show: Ep. 338

• 341 // Farmcore vs. Farmhouse- What’s the Difference + How to Style Your Home with This Cozy New Trend

  Hey friend, If you love the charm of traditional farmhouse style but crave something a little more elevated and fresh, farmcore might be exactly what your home needs. In this episode, I’m introducing you to a trending home decor style that blends the coziness of cottagecore (remember episode 15?) with the classic appeal of farmhouse design—creating a richer, more layered aesthetic that's as timeless as it is on-trend. I’ll walk you through: ✨ What farmcore is and how it differs from traditional farmhouse decor ✨ Why it's not just another rustic trend ✨ How to confidently incorporate farmcore into your own home—even if you're decorating on a budget Here’s how to bring farmcore into your space: Wall Treatments – Think shiplap (yes, it’s still in!), beadboard, and board and batten to add depth and visual interest. Layered Textures – Cozy it up with wallpaper, window treatments, throw pillows, blankets, and area rugs. Traditional Silhouettes – Choose quality furniture with classic lines like wingback chairs and rolled arms. Antique Pieces – Mix in vintage or antique furnishings for a curated, lived-in look. Rustic Elements – Raw woods, stoneware, and iron accents help ground the space. Natural Materials – Lean into wood, linen, cotton, and clay for an organic feel. Pattern Mixing – Don’t be afraid to pair florals with plaids or stripes—step outside the design box! Moody Earth Tones – Create a rich foundation with colors inspired by nature—think deep greens, browns, and terracotta. Farmcore brings nostalgia and warmth with a modern, curated twist. You don’t have to live in the country to love this style—and you definitely don’t need a big budget. xo, dani   // Links mentioned in show: // Become a Design Bestie by joining the newsletter: https://bit.ly/designbestie Email: [email protected] Website: https://figandfarmathome.com Join The Collective (monthly membership): https://www.figandfarmathome.com/thecollective Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figandfarm/ FREE Facebook Community: https://www.bit.ly/design101group
