from Boulevard Beat · host Meghan Blum and Krissa Rossbund
In this candid and lighthearted episode of Boulevard Beat, Meghan Blum and Krissa Rossbund swap their biggest interior design pet peeves — the mistakes that make them cringe — and share the solutions that turn those missteps into stylish, timeless spaces. From the dangers of going “matchy-matchy” to the importance of scale, proportion, and functionality, they explain why certain design choices fall flat and how to elevate them with thoughtful details. Listeners will walk away with an eye for spotting what’s “off” in a room and the confidence to create spaces that feel collected, personal, and beautifully balanced.5 Key Takeaways:Avoid the “matchy-matchy” trap — Coordinated pieces are fine, but identical sets can feel flat; mixing textures, finishes, and shapes creates sophistication and visual interest.Scale matters — Whether it’s furniture, art, or décor, correct proportions are key to making a space feel harmonious.Centerpiece height counts — Dining table arrangements should never block sightlines; keep them low to encourage conversation.Design is in the details — Layering patterns, mixing metals, and varying shapes add depth and personality to a room.Mistakes are costly — Taking time to plan and invest in the right pieces up front will save both money and frustration later.Save 15% site wide at www.houseofblum.com with promo code beat15!Or you can use this link- https://houseofblum.com/discount/beat15!Connect with the Hosts https://www.instagram.com/boulevardbeatpodcast/ Connect with Meghan Blum Interiors https://www.instagram.com/meghanbluminteriors/Connect with House of Blum https://www.instagram.com/shophouseofblum/ Connect with Krissa Rossbund. https://www.instagram.com/krissa_rossbund/ Connect with Liz Lidgett https://www.instagram.com/lizlidgett/ Episode Website https://www.blvdbeat.com/about Save 15% site wide at www.houseofblum.com with promo code beat15!Or you can use this link- https://houseofblum.com/discount/beat15!Connect with the Hosts https://www.instagram.com/boulevardbeatpodcast/ Connect with Meghan Blum Interiors https://www.instagram.com/meghanbluminteriors/Connect with House of Blum https://www.instagram.com/shophouseofblum/ Connect with Krissa Rossbund. https://www.instagram.com/krissa_rossbund/ Episode Website https://www.blvdbeat.com/about
