How to decorate using your favorite music and colors

Learn how your favorite music and colors can make your home feel like YOU!

How to decorate using your favorite music and colors

Have you ever looked at a beautiful picture of a room and thought, “How did someone think of something this beautiful?”

That was exactly my thought when I saw this groovy music room by Oklahoma-based interior stylist Karie from Karie Allen Interiors. Bold, yet relaxed, Karie’s music room exudes a sophisticated yet eclectic cool indeed.

Recently, she painted her music room from a light bright pink color to a dramatic navy. Meanwhile, I observed how she managed to upgrade her already fabulous space. Afterwards, I knew I had to converse with her about her style and creative process in styling interiors.

Thankfully, Karie was kind enough to sit down for a conversation we called, “Color + music: Influences on Interiors.” And guys – she shared some super practical and inspirational tips on how to decorate using your favorite music and colors during our conversation!

As one of her Instagram followers, I know she is a music aficionado who plays a vinyl a day from different genres.

When I asked how she’d describe her style in a single word, she simply said, “kaleidoscope.” Those words perfectly reflects an eclectic taste in interiors, fashion, and music!

I really connected with “kaleidoscope.” I really feel like my guest room really takes cues from Karie’s advice.

Hopefully, after watching the conversation, you can find specific tips to help you embrace both color and music in your own space!

And y’all wait until the end when she shares her favorite vinyls from her collection too!

Check out our conversation via Instagram in full. Additionally, Karie is available for hire for in-person and virtual styling services.

Check out the Design District Playground Park if you're in Dallas!

Especially perfect for my fellow interior design lovers, The Design District is an awesome spot to hang out.  Hit up all the vintage shops and other interior design stores in the area. Then, walk over to this fun attraction!

The murals change every so often, so you may see something different when you visit. You can even visit at night (hence the lights over each mural)!

Have you ever visited the Design District Playground before? Let me know in the comments if you have or if you'd want to go!

Alright y'all...let's cut a rug! 🪩🕺🏾 Ser Alright y'all...let's cut a rug! 🪩🕺🏾

Seriously -- the rug thing has been a point of contention for my #livingroomdecor . Do I stay neutral or mix it up with color? For years, I kept sweeping the decision under the rug. 🙃

Shout out to Unique Loom for the fabulous rug that I've been in dire need of for my living room. Of course, I made the decision to ✨ keep it spicy ✨ with the colorful selection. It even inspired me to paint the big yellow picture in the background! Now I feel like I can go in many different directions with my color palette for the truly eclectic and collected look.

Now call me as snug as a bug in a rug with this corner now complete for now! Let me know what you think in the comments. And did I miss any rug clichés? If I did, tell me which ones in the comments! 🤣🤣🤣

Springtime in Texas is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The Springtime in Texas is absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

The bluebonnets only last for about one month out of the year. If you visit Texas between March-April, get your picture in a field of these.

Most people pull over on the side of highways to take pictures. Sounds crazy dangerous, I know. Here are a couple tips:

1. Check the fields for snakes before letting the kids run free. 

2. Don't step on the bluebonnets!!!!!! Tiptoe between.

3. If there are several cars on the side of the highway, that's a sign that's a good place for pictures.

4. Sometimes, you may find fields of bluebonnets on empty lots or in parks. Ask locals for tips.

Have you seen bluebonnets before? And Texans, how many bluebonnet photos do you have?
Stop procrastinating. Yup...there are lots of th Stop procrastinating. 

Yup...there are lots of things I did incorrectly in this video. Yes, I still have more to do. However, I can close the door without it sticking for the first time since we bought the house.

A win is a win!

I let all of the things that had to be perfect stop me from just completing the simplest task. Sometimes just getting something done is better than getting it perfect.

Just do the thing.
