Favorite Piece of Advice

You don’t need to buy the latest and greatest trending items and decor–you can simply use what you have and recycle it to make it what you want! I also advise staying organized, so that decorating for each holiday is easier, more functional, and remains fun!

How to Create Engaging Content for Beginners?
As a home decor content creator with over 100k followers, I would recommend posting daily. It doesn't have to be an elaborate post, it doesn't have to be perfect, but just start posting daily so that you can get a feel for it. And then from there show up every day in your stories because people want to follow people that they can connect with and that they can relate to. If all they're seeing is generic posts on your feed, they're not able to connect with you further through your stories and through who you are.

Make sure that you're adding value. Figure out who your target audience is and who your key demographic is, and figure out your niche. And then from there, figure out how you can add value to your audience. And as long as you're adding value and being consistent, then you will see growth.
