Home School is in session! Who’s teaching?
I’m Cristina Cleveland, an interior designer based in New York City and I want to make your home feel more like you. Not a Pinterest photo, not the latest micro trend. You.
I’ve helped nearly half a million people find their personal style and according to your emails, DMs, comments, carrier pigeons, and write ups by House & Garden, Girls’ Night In, Apartment Therapy, Living Etc, Brit+Co and more, the results are “scarily accurate!”
I love the design work I get to do for my clients, but it’s always been a pain point for me that I can only work one-on-one with a few of you at a time. I know a lot of you enjoy doing it yourself, but you want expert guidance on what to shop for and how to bring your homes closer to the vision you have in your heads. And you want to do it on a budget. It’s why I created the style quiz and started making Home School (first as videos on YouTube and Instagram) five years ago.
Explore what I’m all about in my Glossary.
What is Home School?
I’m giving you the language and the tools to feel confident making design decisions that support your life and express your personal style. That includes:
Making fewer mistake purchases (and if you’ve already made mistakes, learning from them)
Filling your Big Blank Walls
Developing and expressing your personal style more cohesively in your home
Overcoming online-shopping-paralysis, and investing in furniture that suits your body and your daily needs
Home School is a resource to help you create a home that’s designed by you and feels like you.
Am I going to try and convince you to buy a bunch of stuff?
I actually want to help you buy less stuff. And buy secondhand whenever possible. My shopping ethos is buying fewer, better things, and shopping function-first with my Personal Style Formula.
What do subscribers get?
This newsletter and my videos remain free for everyone! Eventually I’ll also offer a paid tier here with even more in-depth resources to help you design your own home like a pro, including exclusive shoppable rooms, live video calls, and workshops *if* you want them. When that time comes free subscribers to this newsletter will still hear from me twice monthly for free.
