Create A Designer Space That Feels
Effortless And Pulled Together

Your Dream Home? Just Got Easier to Achieve.

We have officially launched our Clouz Houz Design Guides, and couldn’t be more excited to see so many of you diving in. We’ve been working behind the scenes on these for months, creating a resource that makes designing your home easier, faster, and way more fun!

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.

What a week. It’s Thursday evening but feels like it should be Friday! Anyone else with me? No plans, just soaking in the last bit of light with a glass of wine and a slow bath. We are heading to Chicago tomorrow for our Clouz Houz work retreat-excited, a little tired, and trying to savor the quiet before a full weekend ahead. Will be sharing more of the fun with stories while we’re there!
Designing your dream home doesn’t mean you need to live in the same city as your designer.
Our Design Plan Only service has helped clients all over the country bring their vision to life-without a single site visit. If you’re someone who can handle the ordering, legwork, or install side of things, but just need a clear plan from a designer... this service was made for you.
We’ll give you everything: the vision, the layout, the links, the notes for your contractor-and the confidence to finally make your space feel like you.
Comment “PLAN” and we’ll send you the link to fill out our quick client questionnaire and get your discovery call on the books.
Life is short.
Make it beautiful!

We’re so obsessed with this style—timeless, layered, and full of charm-but it can feel overwhelming trying to actually pull it off without a designer by your side. That’s why we put together our Design Guides to help you go from inspiration to execution without the guesswork.
It’s perfect if you’ve got a big occasion coming up and want your home to feel put-together and beautiful, or if you’re just ready to stop pinning and finally start styling. We’re giving you the exact colors, pieces, and pro tips we use to get that romantic, storied look—no endless scrolling required.
Seriously, this is the shortcut we wish everyone had.
Drop “Elegant” below and let’s get you started with curating your home like a designer!
Some days I look around and still can’t believe this is our life. Not because it’s perfect or easy… but because it’s ours.
We started over when we didn’t mean to. Moved to a new place. Took a chance on a completely different rhythm. And slowly, we fell in love with this slower way of living. With the quiet. The space. The chance to build something that actually matters to us.
It’s wild how one unexpected change can unlock a version of your life you never even knew was possible.
Just a little reminder—there’s no “right” timeline. You’re allowed to begin again, to take the long way, to dream up something new.
This is your sign 🤍
