The Ultimate Home Design Blog – Welcome

Edited 1.1

Welcome to the ultimate home design blog for the neutral home lover! I’m Lina, and I am thrilled to publish my first blog post.  To say I’ve had a few hiccups along the way of publishing my blog would be an understatement.  I was supposed to go live with my blog on July ’23. But a week or so before, I ended up losing my instagram page.

I woke up on June 23rd to post my usual morning post only to get a notification saying my page has been disabled for violating terms. To make a long story short (I’ll write an in-depth blog post about it) it took me close to 4 months to recover my page. Actually, the draft version of this blog post has been edited because it was initially written under the assumption that I was never going to get my page back. So HOORAY, praise GOD that I’m editing and publishing this blog post as I have envisioned it. Sharing it with my community of 170k+ followers!

I’ve always wanted to create a strong community of home design lovers to connect through my blog and social media channels. So I invite you to follow me on my instagram, pinterest, and Tiktok pages. Without further delay, I invite you to (what will ultimately become) your go-to source for inspiration and tips on creating a beautifully neutral home, regardless of your budget – be it big or small.  And just to be clear, a neutral home doesn’t mean no colors. In my book, a neutral home is one that has a strong neutral base, while color is injected through accents and furnishings.

Neutral Home Design Blog

You have a love for neutrals and drool over perfectly designed homes you see on social media and in magazines. With their immaculately organized closets and drawers, all in beautiful neutral tones. You aspire to achieve the same look in your own home, but two problems stand in your way:

  1. You worry that choosing a neutral color palette will result in a dull and uninteresting space. And it’s true, it’s easy to end up with a flat looking, boring space if you’re not using neutrals correctly. When done right, neutral home design can bring so much character and warmth to your space.
  2. You are concerned that your budget may not be sufficient to accomplish your vision.  You know you’ll need to take the time to shop around and find items within your budget, but you just don’t have the time for it. Guess what, I do all the leg work and research when it comes to getting the look for less. As an fyi, when I started my instagram page, I grew to 160K because my page became the go to source for finding the best and most recent look for less products. My page used to be called Splurge or Save Inspo. So you’re in the right place!

So, my friend, make sure to bookmark this blog and follow me on my social media channels because they will become your go-to source for neutral home design inspiration, tips, and finds that you can implement immediately.

Here’s what you can expect from this blog:

  1. I’ll share home design tips that you can implement today! These steps will be simple and practical.  You’ll be surprised with how much you can do right now to make your home more inviting and aesthetically pleasing.
  2. I’ll share affordable finds that will bring a high-end look to your space without breaking the bank. I’ll have a ‘look for less’ page with all my finds so you can easily browse and shop them. So many of us can’t afford the price tag on the gorgeous designer furniture we love, but there’s always a similar lookalike that can create a similar vibe.
  3. I’ll share my favorite Amazon finds. I must admit, I am quite obsessed with discovering hidden gems on Amazon! You can spend hours browsing Amazon to find must have home products, or you can visit my Amazon Faves page blog! You can also directly shop my finds on my Amazon Store Front.
  4. Lastly, I’ll take you along our journey as we embark on stage 2 of our home renovation, which I’m extremely excited about! I’ll also update you on our progress during stage 1.

Get ready for a blog filled with practical tips, inspiring ideas, and budget-friendly solutions that will have you loving where you live while keeping your savings intact.
