New for Paid Members: Ask a Designer Wednesday

Starting today, Your Design Guide has a weekly thread in the Chat called Ask a Designer Wednesday, and it’s just for paid members. If you’ve ever wanted to ask an interior designer about your own room, this is the place to do it.

Ask an interior designer: a styled living room with a sofa, art and layered lighting, the kind of room members bring to Ask a Designer Wednesday
Ask a Designer Wednesday: bring the room that’s been bugging you.

How Ask a Designer Wednesday works

Every Wednesday morning I’ll open a new thread. Members reply with a photo of a room they’re working on, or the design question they’re stuck on.

A layout that isn’t working.

A paint color you can’t commit to.

A sofa you’re not sure about.

A rug that might be too small. (It usually is.)

I’ll answer right there in the thread. And the other questions are worth reading too. Most weeks someone is stuck on the exact same thing you are.

Already a paid member?

You’re in. The first thread is open now. Bring the room that’s been bugging you.

Reading for free?

I’d love to see your room too. Ask a Designer Wednesday comes with a paid subscription, along with the monthly 30-Day Room Redesign Challenge and The Design Toolkit (and the free design kits in the Member Library). You can try it free for 7 days.

See you Wednesday,

Jill


Between Wednesdays

If you want the answers before you ask, my Complete Home Design Guide is the 151-page version of what I’d tell you in the thread: layouts, dimensions, color, lighting and styling, room by room. It’s $47 on Gumroad.


Want help with your own room?

A chat answer fixes one question. If the whole room needs a plan, my $397 Complete Room Design does it online: two layouts, a concept board, paint colors and a shopping list with links, for any room, anywhere.


Ask a Designer Wednesday: FAQ

Who can post in the thread? Paid members of Your Design Guide. Free readers can see the thread, but replies are a paid-member perk.

What should I bring? A photo of the room and one clear question: the layout, a paint color, the sofa, the rug size. The more specific the question, the more useful my answer.

When do you answer? Wednesdays, right in the thread, so everyone can read the answers.

Is there a free trial? Yes, the paid subscription comes with a 7-day free trial.
