How to Design a Room Before You Buy Anything (My Designer Process)

Most homeowners assume that the best way to start a redesign is by shopping for pieces they love, but buying furniture before you have a spatial strategy is the quickest way to end up with a layout that feels cramped and awkward. In this video, I pull back the curtain on my exact step-by-step process for mapping out a room before spending a single dollar, using our signature Mid-Bar House project as a real-world example. If you have ever bought a gorgeous piece of furniture only to realize it doesn't fit your room's physical dimensions or daily flow, the issue stems from skipping a critical blueprint phase that we are laying out today. To help you transition into a much more strategic and precise approach to styling, I am breaking down how to execute rough sketches, establish filler dimensions, and build digital mood boards like an interior design professional.
