But, if you missed the announcement, let’s break it down—because this might be exactly what you need.

We created Clouz Houz these Design Guides to empower you to take the reins on your home design journey—even if you’re not working with a designer right now. Of course, we know not everyone has the ability to hire full-service help, and that’s okay. With the right tools, guidance, and inspiration, designing your home can still feel exciting, approachable, and entirely yours. These guides are a way for us to share our expertise and make great design more accessible—without sacrificing the quality or creativity of a designer-curated space.

What’s So Cool About These Designer Guides?

They Take the Guesswork Out of Design
You no longer have to wonder, “Does this work together?” or “What style am I even going for?” These guides give you a clear, cohesive vision so you can confidently make design decisions.

They’re Flexible & Customizable
Even though each guide follows a specific style, there’s plenty of room to make it your own. You can use the recommendations as is! Or, swap in pieces that better fit your space—while still keeping everything cohesive.

They Save You Time & Money
No more wasted purchases or endless browsing. The guides streamline the design process, ensuring that every piece you bring into your home is intentional and works together. So, it’s like having a designer in your back pocket — without actually needing to hire one! 

They Work for Any Space
Whether you’re decorating an entire home or just refreshing a single room, the principles in these guides apply across the board. The items chosen were thoughtfully chosen while keeping timelessness at the forefront of our selections.

Not Sure Which Design Guide Is Right for You? (or not sure where to start?)

It all starts with figuring out your style. One of the biggest struggles we hear from clients is understanding what they love and gravitate to the most. There are so many options out there, so we know it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. 

If you’re feeling unsure about your style, we’ve got you covered. That’s why we created our Find Your Signature Style Quiz. It helps you pinpoint your aesthetic and match it to the perfect Design Guide.

In just a couple of minutes you will have your quiz results. You’ll know exactly which guide fits your vision, so you can move forward with confidence.

After designing and remodeling so many kitchens, here are 5 mistakes I’II never make again:
1. Not taking cabinetry to the ceiling.
That awkward gap collects dust and instantly makes a kitchen feel builder-grade. Full-height cabinetry feels intentional and custom.
2. Forgetting landing space.
Every appliance needs a place to land. No counter next to the fridge or range = daily frustration.
3. Using the same cabinet hardware knobs and pulls throughout. Mix styles for interest (I can’t wait to share what I’ve picked for our new kitchen)
4. Underestimating drawer storage.
Drawers > lower cabinets. Always. Deep drawers for pots, pans, and dishes change everything. I hate digging through cabinet shelving!
5. Relying on one overhead light.
Layered lighting (pendants, cabinet lighting, sconces) is what makes a kitchen feel warm and personal.
If you’re planning a remodel, save this for later🤍 Sharing cabinet and counter details soon!
We painted our dining room pink... and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
This is Setting Plaster by @farrowandball, and it completely transformed our dining room at the Sixth Street Bungalow in Columbia, Tennessee. It’s not bubblegum. 
It’s not trendy. Joa Studholme, one of color curators at F & B created this beautiful hue when she discovered the beauty in her home with freshly plastered walls. And I just love it!
Depending on the light, it shifts from soft blush to a muted clay tone, which makes the room feel romantic and cozy without feeling overly sweet. I love how it warms up the wood floors. As Joa explains, it feels like a big hug!
If you’ve been nervous to step away from white, this is your sign.
Save this for your paint list and share it with someone who would absolutely love this color.
Share with someone who needs to hear this!!
I didn’t fully understand this early in my career. I thought good design was 90% about pulling together beautiful finishes and getting the palette right.
But over time (and after walking through many homes), here’s what I noticed:
The homes that felt the best weren’t always the most expensive. Or the most styled. They were the ones where everything worked together in a way that supported the people living there. And the homeowners? They weren’t constantly tweaking or second-guessing. They were living.
That’s when I realized design is about creating a space that quietly holds you.
When a home feels right, you can’t always explain why. But you feel it immediately. And once you feel it, you can’t un-feel it.
Spring is officially here!
We’re kicking off the season with The March Edit - now live.
Think of it as a little peek into what we’re loving right now... what we’re noticing, bookmarking, wearing, cooking, reading, and saving for projects. This month feels fresh and full of ideas, and I’m leaning all the way in.
I’m also introducing more of the team and sharing a few of the things we’re personally obsessing over lately — from design to everyday life. It’s a little more journal-style this time, and I kind of love it.
If you want to see what we’re manifesting for spring (and maybe find a few new favorites of your own), head to the blog and read the full March Edit. (link in bio)
People always think design starts with picking the sofa or paint color... but honestly, so much of our process lives in the tiny details.
A room doesn’t become you until it’s styled with intention. That’s why we spend time learning how you move through your day, what objects matter, where your eye naturally lands.
When we work with clients, we don’t just drop furniture into a floor plan. We design the feeling - the quiet corner, the morning moment, the lived-in beauty.
Styling a coffee table is just a peek at how much thought goes into every inch.
