How to be More Confident When Choosing Paint Colors in Your Home

Feeling unsure when picking paint colors? Here are a few simple steps to help you feel confident in your choice:

  1. Grab plenty of paint sample cards and tape them up in your space. I like to leave them up for a week so I can see how the colors look in different lighting throughout the day. It’s a great way to get a feel for the color without rushing the decision!
  2. Still on the fence? Try 2-3 small paint samples directly on your walls. They usually cost around $6, and it’s much better than being stuck with a gallon of paint you don’t love!
  3. Still unsure? Turn to an expert! Designers can spot undertones that might not be obvious to the untrained eye, and they can help you choose a color that works perfectly with your furnishings and overall style.

With these simple tips, you’ll feel confident in your choice and ready to make your space feel like home!

Your window is your storefront’s first impression and in a busy marketplace, it needs to stand out.  I create thoughtful, on-brand window displays that communicate who you are, what you sell, and why someone should step inside. From compelling product arrangements to purposeful signage that supports your story, every element is designed to draw attention, spark curiosity, and turn passersby into paying customers. Whether you need something seasonal, narrative-driven, or simply eye-catching, I’ll help you create a window that works as hard as you do.

Store Planning +
Pre-Opening Strategy

Opening a new store is exciting, but without intentional planning, it can quickly become overwhelming or inefficient. I help you set the foundation for a shop that’s not only beautiful, but functional and profitable from day one. Through strategic fixture placement, inventory mapping, and traffic flow design, I ensure your space is set up to encourage browsing, increase dwell time, and boost sales. Whether you’re starting from a blank slate or refining an existing plan, I’ll guide you through smart, sales-driven decisions that save you time, money, and second-guessing.

Visual Merchandising

Visual merchandising goes beyond good looks—it’s about creating a store environment that guides customers, showcases your products, and drives sales. I offer hands-on support and expert guidance through three core services:

Visual Merchandising Audit

Seasonal In-Store Updates

Strategy & Staff Training

You’ve got the lighting, fixtures, and store design, but if your displays still fall flat, the right props can make all the difference. I’ll assess your current visual setup, including existing props, mannequins, tables, and shelving, and recommend (or source) the pieces you need to elevate your merchandising game. From risers and pedestals to textiles and display accessories, I help you create dimension, add interest, and build displays that encourage shoppers to stop, touch, and explore. Thoughtful props turn simple setups into selling moments—and I’ll show you exactly how to make that happen.
