Summary
You asked and we listened! In this Q&A episode of Dear Alice, we’re answering your biggest interior design questions, from what baseboard height feels truly luxurious to whether coffered ceilings are still in style or officially out. We also break down bold choices like Venetian plaster accent walls versus full color drenching, whether refinishing an existing door is worth the investment, and the “design rules” we actually love to break in our own homes. Plus, we share our strongest design opinions, our go-to finishes for faucets, hardware, and how to layer finishes for a curated, high-end look. If you’re renovating, building, or simply refreshing a room, this episode is packed with practical interior design tips, expert insight, and inspiration to elevate your home.
