You know that feeling when your décor just looks... off? This guide breaks down the 3-5-7 rule, the interior design trick that'll change how you style everything in your Baton Rouge home. Group your décor in threes, fives, or sevens instead of even numbers, and watch your spaces come alive. We're talking coffee tables, mantels, throw pillows, gallery walls, even your LSU game day setup. This isn't just theory, you'll get practical tips for decorating Louisiana homes through every season, from handling our brutal summer heat with grouped planters to nailing Thanksgiving tablescapes and Christmas mantels. Mix your heights, vary your textures, and start small with three items. Whether you're styling a Spanish Town bungalow or a new build in Prairieville, this simple principle works like magic. Plus, it gives you the perfect excuse to hit up local antique shops and galleries to build collections that actually look personal, not catalog-perfect.

The holiday table is where memories happen, and you don't need a designer's budget to make it spectacular. This complete guide walks you through creating a show-stopping holiday table that feels authentically you, from choosing the perfect color palette (modern neutrals, Southern-inspired warmth, or traditional reds and golds) to nailing the centerpiece without blocking conversation. We're breaking down the basics: tablecloth versus runner, place setting order, napkin styling that doesn't require origami skills, and how to use Louisiana's natural beauty like magnolia leaves and pine branches in your arrangements. You'll learn the golden rule for centerpiece height (under 14 inches, so guests can actually talk), budget-friendly DIY ideas using what you already have, and candle safety tips that won't compromise the ambiance. Whether you're hosting an intimate dinner or a grand Thanksgiving feast in your Louisiana home, these practical tips work for any budget, any table size, and any level of decorating experience. The most beautiful tables aren't the most elaborate—they're the ones that reflect your personal style while creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere for the people you love.
