376 // How to know when you’re DONE decorating: 6 Signs your room is finished
Fri Feb 06 2026
How do you know when a room is actually done?
Not “good enough.”
Not “I’ll just add one more thing.”
But finished in a way that feels calm, intentional, and deeply satisfying.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing a behind-the-scenes lesson from The Collective—a private space where I teach women how to confidently decorate their homes without overwhelm or wasted money.
We talk about why so many rooms get stuck at the almost finished stage, and how the problem usually isn’t a lack of ideas… it’s not knowing when to stop.
I’ll walk you through the six elements I assess when deciding whether a room is complete—and the exact questions I ask before adding anything else.
This episode is about restraint, clarity, and learning to trust your decisions—so you can create a home you truly delight in.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
Why rooms often feel 80% done—but never quite finished
The difference between a room that looks styled and one that feels complete
The 6 elements I assess before adding anything new:
Balance
Scale
Cohesiveness
Functionality
Restraint
Feeling
The key questions to ask yourself before buying “just one more thing”
How finishing a room can shift how you feel in your home—and in yourself
A Client Moment Worth Sharing
I also share a brief case study from a client whose finished room didn’t just look better—it changed how she felt walking into her home.
Less second-guessing.
Less mental noise.
More pride. More ease. More delight.
Sometimes the transformation isn’t about what you add—it’s about finally knowing when you’re done.
