This Throwback Thursday episode of The Uploft Interior Design Podcast, which keeps my podcast fresh after 10 years, focused on answering listener questions about bedroom dilemmas submitted from all over the globe, though I expressed sadness that summer is ending and I'm getting back into routines. I addressed Jenna M. from Sydney, Australia, who was struggling with a cramped bedroom, advising against under-bed drawers and instead recommending a hydraulic lift bed for bonus storage, utilizing vertical space with deep bookshelves.
Next, Tyler in Austin, Texas, needed help managing intense natural light to create an inviting evening ambiance, where I suggested avoiding the combination of shears and drapes, opting instead for blinds like blackout rollers or lined woven Roman blinds, and installing three separate lamps to create "cozy pools of atmospheric light".
Finally, I offered solutions to Mia in San Francisco, whose sleep was affected by noisy street traffic, starting with sound-absorbing basics like a nice rug, soundproofing drapes, and fabric artwork, and recommending the use of a sound machine or utilizing the "dark noise" feature available on a smartphone to combat the jarring external noises.
