It Takes You

12: What It Takes to Create a Seriously Happy Home with Rebecca West

Tannya Bernadette

You CAN turn your home into that feel-good place that you desire. Being confined to four walls this past month has really put me in the mood to move things around and get creative on making more space. Here’s a little secret not many people know—back in high school I was contemplating going to college for interior design! Unfortunately, I took one auto-cad class and realized, nope—this is not my jam

Lucky for me, I can live vicariously through all the great content created by Rebecca West, an award-winning interior designer who’s been featured in Success Magazine, Seattle Refined, Uniquely Northwest, and more. 

Thirteen years ago, Rebecca looked around her house and realized I can’t keep living like this. She transformed her home into the space of her dreams, and she didn’t let her recent-divorce budget stop her! Since then, she's been on a mission to help people find happiness in life by making happiness at home.  

Rebecca uses design psychology to help people create homes that encourage them to achieve their goals. She empowers homeowners to create spaces that ignore the “rules” and simply make them happy.

There is so much goodness in this conversation, but here are a few highlights: 

  • What it takes to decorate your home on a small budget
  • Finding permission to follow through your with your ideas
  • The trick to decorating your home when you and your partner have different aesthetics
  • How your home could be blocking you from achieving your goals
