The House Dressed guide
Make the most of House Dressed
Every beautiful space starts with an idea. Whether you're refreshing a room or dressing your home for a celebration, a little direction can help bring your vision into focus.
Start with a great photo
Choose a clear, well-lit photo that shows the area you'd like to style. Hold your camera level and include as much of the space as you comfortably can. Natural light, minimal filters, and a quick tidy-up can help the details come through.
Set the direction
Choose your category, style preferences, and budget to give your design a starting point. Think about how you want the space to feel and how you'll use it.
Tell us what matters to you
Your notes don't need to sound like a designer wrote them. Share what you love, what you'd like to change, and anything you'd prefer to avoid. Favorite colors, existing furniture, and practical needs all help communicate your vision.
Try including:
- What you're imagining: A cozy living room, a festive entryway, or a backyard ready for entertaining.
- What you'd like to keep: Your dining table, flooring, or a favorite piece of artwork.
- The feeling you want: Warm and layered, light and airy, colorful and collected.
- What to avoid: Certain colors, finishes, or anything that feels too formal.
A few ideas to make your own
An everyday refresh
"Give my living room a warm, collected cottage feel. I'd like to keep the sofa and hardwood floors, and bring in soft greens, warm neutrals, and a few vintage-inspired details. Comfortable and welcoming, with nothing too formal."
A little seasonal magic
"Dress this room for Christmas with greenery, warm white lights, and touches of burgundy. Keep the decorations understated, with the fireplace as the focal point."
A reason to gather
"Style this dining table for a relaxed fall dinner with friends. Use warm earth tones, candlelight, and low arrangements that make conversation easy."
A fresh look outdoors
"Make this porch feel welcoming with layered planters, comfortable seating, and a classic cottage palette. Keep the doorway clear and leave plenty of room to move around."
