Many people assume that becoming a successful interior designer is all about having impeccable taste, an instinct for color, or the ability to effortlessly pick the perfect rug size for any room. While those talents are certainly valuable, they’re only part of what it takes to thrive in the profession.

This profession takes more than just having good taste.

Whether you’re planning a dinner party or a casual movie night, there are dozens of factors you have to consider when you’re hosting—including where your guests should sit.

No one is saying you should rearrange your home or install a ’70s-style sunken living room just to facilitate conversation. Designer Alexander D. Wilson has a seating trick that elevates any layout. Instead of organizing your seating options on a room-by-room basis, focus on crafting various “seating zones” within a single space.

Square footage matters much less than you think.

Today’s design style is less a rigid aesthetic than a sensibility. It's an interpretation—an effortless blend of tastes, periods, and influences that feels cohesive the moment you step inside. Today, designers from coast to coast are revisiting vintage architectural elements and details, incorporating them in ways that are both unexpected and distinctly contemporary.

Think twice before removing these original details.

Interior designers know that there are, in fact, several key rules to follow when it comes to properly hanging art in the home.

There’s an easy rule of thumb to remember.

Having large windows is most often a blessing in one’s home. They invite in so much sunlight and frame the scenery just beyond the house, making that view part of the interior design.

Of course, with big windows, the curtains, blinds, or shades needed to cover up that view when privacy is needed must run on the larger side, as well. And for interior designer Bunny Williams, nothing takes her out of a design moment more than the stark transition (or lack thereof) between curtain and wall.

Here’s how to avoid the dreaded “Wall of Drapes” look.

An area rug serves as an effective base element for almost any room. It provides a frame for the furniture to be placed in a specific way, plus, it provides something soft and warm underfoot. What happens, though, when the busyness of the pattern or the worn-in texture starts to distract more than enhance? The answer is simple: Get rid of the rug.

Some spaces are complete without them.

A home that’s light, bright, and spacious has a way of feeling welcoming to everyone who steps through your front door—especially you! As you can imagine, many factors create that “openness” feeling, such as large windows, a spacious floor plan, and minimalist architecture. The only problem? You can’t actually do anything about these structural design elements unless you call in a contractor. That’s where giving your home a quick zhuzh comes in handy: moving furniture around, organizing clutter, and even lighting a cozy candle are all ways to give your living area an energy reset, and many of these practices are rooted in feng shui.
