365 // How to decorate your flat surfaces without the clutter: Simple styling tips for the holidays

Flat surfaces have a funny way of becoming clutter magnets — until the holidays hit, and suddenly we want them to look styled, intentional, and Instagram-worthy. The problem? It’s easy to go from “simple and festive” to “every inch covered.”

In this episode, I’ll teach you my signature LDHTR method (Layers + Depth + Height + Texture + Repetition) — the simple formula that works on mantles, shelves, tables, even pianos. You’ll learn how to:

• Define the purpose of your surface (function + beauty!)

• Start fresh with a blank slate

• Curate your items by category or story before styling

• Layer intentionally for balance and flow

• Take a photo to see what your eye might miss in real life

By the end, you’ll know exactly how to create surfaces that look polished, personal, and ready for the holidays.
