Have you ever looked around your home and felt like something is missing? Maybe your furniture is in place, the walls are painted, and the basics are covered, but the space still doesn’t feel quite complete. That’s where the finishing touches come in. These small details can transform a room from just “decorated” to truly inviting and personal. If you’ve been struggling to find the right curtains, artwork, or other finishing details, scheduling a consultation can be the key to making your home feel finished and polished.


A one-hour in-person consultation for $100 offers a focused, collaborative session where we work together to add those perfect final elements. This post will guide you through why finishing touches matter, what to expect from a consultation, and how to prepare so you get the most out of your time.

Why Finishing Touches Make a Difference


Finishing touches are the details that bring personality and warmth to your home. They include items like curtains, artwork, throw pillows, rugs, lighting fixtures, and decorative objects. These elements:


  • Add texture and color to a room, making it feel layered and inviting.

  • Reflect your personality and style, turning a house into a home.

  • Create balance and harmony by tying together different design elements.

  • Improve functionality, such as curtains that control light and privacy.


Without these details, even the best furniture and paint colors can feel flat or incomplete. For example, a living room with bare windows might feel cold or unfinished, but adding curtains that complement the room’s color scheme can instantly warm the space and add softness.



What Happens During a Consultation


During the one-hour consultation, we focus on your specific space and needs. Here’s what you can expect:


1. Walkthrough and Assessment


We start by walking through your home together. This helps identify areas that feel unfinished or could benefit from additional details. You can point out what you like and what feels off.


2. Discussion of Style and Preferences


We talk about your style preferences, lifestyle, and how you use the space. This ensures that suggestions fit your taste and daily needs.


3. Suggestions for Finishing Touches


Based on the walkthrough and discussion, I provide tailored recommendations. These might include:


  • Curtain styles and fabrics that enhance your windows and lighting.

  • Artwork or wall decor ideas that complement your color palette.

  • Decorative accessories to add texture and interest.

  • Lighting options to improve ambiance and functionality.


4. Practical Tips and Resources


I share practical advice on where to shop, how to mix and match items, and how to arrange pieces for the best effect.



How to Prepare for Your Consultation


To make the most of your consultation, a little preparation goes a long way. Here are some tips:


  • Take photos of your rooms from different angles. This helps us review details and plan even after the session.

  • Gather inspiration such as magazine clippings, Pinterest boards, or photos of rooms you like.

  • List your priorities: Which rooms or areas feel most unfinished? What do you want to improve?

  • Measure key spaces like window dimensions for curtains or wall space for artwork.

  • Be ready to share your budget so recommendations fit your financial plan.



Examples of Finishing Touches That Transform Spaces


Here are some specific examples of how finishing touches can change a room:


Curtains That Frame the View


Choosing the right curtains can soften a room and add color or pattern. For instance, light linen curtains can create an airy feel in a sunroom, while heavier velvet drapes add warmth and luxury to a formal living room.


Artwork That Tells Your Story


A well-chosen piece of art can become a focal point. It might be a large canvas above the sofa or a gallery wall of family photos and prints. Art adds personality and can tie together colors used elsewhere in the room.


Rugs That Define Areas


Area rugs add comfort and help define spaces, especially in open floor plans. A patterned rug under a dining table can anchor the space and add visual interest.


Lighting That Sets the Mood


Layered lighting with floor lamps, table lamps, and dimmable overhead fixtures creates a cozy atmosphere. For example, a statement pendant light in the entryway can welcome guests with style.



Why Working Together Makes a Difference


Trying to finish your home alone can be overwhelming. It’s easy to get stuck choosing between options or unsure if something will look right. A consultation offers:


  • Expert guidance based on experience and design principles.

  • Fresh perspective to see your space in new ways.

  • Confidence in your choices, avoiding costly mistakes.

  • Personalized solutions that fit your style and needs.



What Clients Say About Their Consultations


Many clients find the consultation invaluable. One client shared, “I thought my living room was done, but after the session, I added curtains and a few pieces of art that completely changed the vibe. It finally feels like home.” Another said, “The suggestions were practical and easy to implement. I saved time and money by knowing exactly what to buy.”



Next Steps to Make Your Home Feel Complete


If your home feels almost finished but not quite there, scheduling a consultation is a smart step. For $100, you get focused time to solve design puzzles and add those final touches that make a big difference.
