Room Design Rules to Live By

Wouldn't it be great to have a handy "Design Rules and Measurements Cheat Sheet" that you could refer to easily when:

  • You need to know how high to hang that dining chandelier or entry sconces
  • You need to know the exact clearance in a kitchen renovation for the dishwasher to the countertop or the space between can lights
  • You need to know exactly how wide your art and coffee table should be for the sofa your client purchased

When it comes to harmonious and function room design there are definitely rules for height, width and space measurements in each room that should be followed.  The problem is... most people don't know them and are making big design mistakes!

I've always included these design rules in my Design Modules but thought it was more useful for ALL my clients to have a "Design Rules Cheat Sheet" they can easily access for all their staging and design projects.

Here's a Video Sneak Peek of the Design Rules to Follow Cheat Sheet PLUS a Bonus Download:

I've added this "Essential Room Design Rules" guide inside my HSR Staging and Design Certification course, my Expert E-Designer course and my even my Certified Color Expert course, so if you're a member... jump in and grab it!

For those of you who are not one of my members, I have a free guide that gives you a taste of some key design rules to follow, as well as the kind of materials people receive when they join my trainings...enjoy!
