As you know, Alicia, I work with a lot of people on a regular basis that started with like an architect, the contractor, and now it's time for them to do the inside of the home and they're just at a loss. They don't know what to do, they don't know where to start, they don't know why they've had rooms chopped up the way they did, but hey. So I find that people, you know they want to design their homes because they have great taste, but they just don't know how to start and how to develop their ideas for their visions. So I think that it's crucial to ask for help and ask questions of a designer, like even on just like a consultation call. You know, designers offer different services, like color consultations, space planning consultation, furniture consultations, lighting consultations, so you don't have to do everything. You could find your weakness and figure out where you need help, or you can have someone help you from A to Z. So there's different ways that you could go about it. ---------------------------------------------- Highlights created by https://podium.page --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/teaoverinteriors/support

Exploring the Creative Fusion of Pi Day and Design

In this episode of 'Tea Over Interiors', hosts Dee and Alicia delve into the unique connection between Pi Day and the realm of design while sharing their favorite teas. They reveal fascinating facts about Pi Day, celebrated on March 14th, highlighting its coincidence with Albert Einstein's birthday and its origin by Larry Shaw in 1988. The conversation transitions into how the mathematical constant pi (π), known for its role in calculating the circumference and diameter of a circle, significantly influences design, particularly in architecture. Dee and Alicia discuss examples like the Khaji Island Resort in the Maldives, illustrating how pi's principles of proportion and curvature are integral to aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. Additionally, Alicia shares a metaphorical interpretation of pi in design, emphasizing the circular narrative of beginning and the end in our living spaces and the interplay of circles in everyday items. The episode encapsulates the endless possibilities at the intersection of creativity, mathematics, and design, inviting listeners to appreciate the artistry in their surroundings.

Tea Over Interiors Episode: Mastering Closet Organization with Guest, Sheika

In this special episode of Tea Over Interiors, hosts Dee and Alicja welcome their first consultation guest, Sheika, who seeks help with closet organization. After sharing their current tea choices, they discuss an effective tonic called Magic Mind. Then they delve into the topic of wardrobe and closet organization. Sheika has taken the initial steps of purging her closet and separating out the seasonal clothing as recommended by the hosts earlier. They propose further measures such as installing a closet system, using drawer separators, investing in shoe storage bins, and setting up separate storage areas for her and her husband's belongings. Also, they suggest the idea of 'rotating' clothing by storing them away for a period of time before rediscovering and wearing them again. Alicja emphasizes the importance of not feeling overwhelmed and having fun during the organization process. The episode ends with the hosts encouraging listeners to apply here for their own consultation on the podcast.

Creating Cozy, Moody Interiors with Tea Over Interiors

Alicia shares her preference for goji berry green tea, signifying a cleanse before an indulgent afternoon with friends, while Dee chooses a smoky Lapsang Souchong tea to match the day’s theme. The discussion covers the importance of lighting, with emphasis on soft, warm light settings for moodiness and the role of textures like plush throws and velvet cushions in adding coziness. They delve into the influence of color, specifically dark hues associated with the water element in feng shui, for tranquility and introspection. The hosts recall a guest, Angie Cho from episode 85, who previously discussed feng shui and mindful homes. Scent and aromas in a space, such as cedarwood and sandalwood, are noted for their ability to create ambiance. The conversation also touches on the personal touches in home decor, including the mix of vintage and modern pieces, natural elements like wood and stone, and statement pieces to anchor spaces.

***Click here for this week's sip!*** Welcome to the latest episode of Tea Over Interiors Podcast. In this episode, we tackle an interesting question: Is the formal dining room necessary? In modern homes, open-plan living spaces have become increasingly popular, leading to less-defined areas for specific uses, such as dining rooms. This has left many people, especially homebuyers and homeowners, questioning whether the formal dining room is still necessary or not. We delve right into the topic by taking a look at the history of the dining room. We learn that the dining room has been an essential part of home design since the Middle Ages. However, back then, it was considered a room for just the wealthy, where they entertained guests and distinguished visitors. Over the years, the room evolved to become common in most middle-class homes, and there was a need to make it more functional. We then move on to discuss the pros and cons of having a formal dining room. Some of the advantages of having a dining room include the ability to host a dinner party, formal dining, and creating an elegant and sophisticated look. On the other hand, some of the cons include the need for more space, reduced functionality, and considerable expense in terms of maintenance and decor. Next, we weigh in on the factors that influence whether the formal dining room is necessary or not. These factors are the size of the home, the lifestyle of the homeowner, the number of guests entertained, and the home's architectural style. We conclude by giving some suggestions on how to make the formal dining room a more practical space such as using it as a multipurpose room, adding storage, and rearranging furniture.

Welcome back to episode 49 of Tea Over Interiors! Today’s guest is Xena Stryker, commercial architect and owner of Xena marketing + design firm in Atlanta, Georgia. Listen as she tells her origin story—from her name to becoming an architect and business owner. Then, over tea, Dee, Alicia, and Xena discuss chakra balancing and the way different colors impact us. Plus, Xena shares her wellness practices. As an expert in her field, Xena gives some architectural advice, from picking how a space’s architecture influences its design and how to pick materials based on the architecture of a space, to possibly the most important of all—how to decide to hire an architect or a general contractor. “I believe that form follows function. It’s okay for things to be pretty, but they need to have a function.” As a millennial in architecture, Xena has been faced with certain challenges working in large firms. Hear her tactics for getting her work seen, why she started her own business, and her advice for using professional organizations to leverage your business. “When you join these organizations, it’s not just for you to chit chat and network.
