I'm Hollis Rendleman...

...and I created the Emotional Home Blueprint to teach you how to elevate your quality of life through interior design.

The comforting feeling when you come home, how refreshed you feel after your evening rituals, and the relaxation of falling asleep amidst your favorite things—it all ties into your everyday habitat. The Emotional Home Blueprint takes you through the exact steps to design an emotional room that boosts your well-being (and gives you some serious bragging rights, too).

The Emotional Home Blueprint covers everything you need to...

Build a bridge between your ideas and a real-life room design that’s oh-so-you

Draw a floorplan and organize your room to intentionally support positive emotions and well-being

Create design boards using colors, patterns, and textures to ramp up the feeling you want your room to convey


Budget and shop for allllll the furniture and finishing touches you need to bring your room together like a pro

Here’s exactly what you’ll learn inside the course:

WEEK 1: HOW YOU LIVE DEFINES WHO YOU ARE

  • The 3 key elements you need to consider to design an “emotional home”—plus, what that means and why it matters. 

  • Your personal environmental psychology, and how it impacts what you do and don’t like now

  • Close your eyes and visualize how you want to feel in your room. Got it? Good—now you’ll pair your desired feeling with inspirational images and begin to see the colors, textures, and patterns come to life in your mood board.


WEEK 2: HONORING YOUR HOME AND YOUR STYLE

  • Learn to play with the existing architecture of your home, and how to step it up

  • How to build safety and security into your home, as well as a sense of spirituality that represents who you are now and where you envision yourself going. 

  • The evolution of home design ... and how to opt-out of the quest for a “perfect” home in favor of creating something true to you. 

  • Align your needs with your goals, and learn ways to effectively coordinate with other decision makers in your home. 


WEEK 3: CREATING FLOW AND EASE

  • How to identify the ideal use of your room—plus, what needs to be eliminated from the room to support positive emotions. 

  • Plan “zones” for your room using a detailed bubble diagram (but first: how to create a bubble diagram). 

  • How to draw a floorplan and determine the right size furniture for your space, plus how to arrange it all. 

  • Identify what furniture, lighting, and decor you need to make your space spring to life and evoke all the good feels. 


WEEK 4: CURATING INSPIRATION & PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN

  • Learn to use your mood board to start curating a design style that you will love for years to come.

  • Create your first design board, showcasing specific pieces of furniture, finishes, and decor. 

  • Learn the techniques the pros use to intentionally design a room around a specific goal: mood, focus, balance, proportion, rhythm, and harmony. 

  • Now that you know what pieces you need, you’ll begin to determine your budget. 


WEEK 5: MAXIMIZING COLOR, LIGHTING, AND MATERIALS

  • How to use proven design principles to hone in on how you want your room to feel—then, ramp up your design. 

  • Discover the not-so-secrets of color theory ... and how you can use them to enhance the mood of your room. 

  • Real talk: lighting plays a huge role in the feeling of a room. Learn how to use lighting to your benefit (so you don’t get caught in the dark). 

  • Grasp the rules of textiles—rugs, curtains, pillows—and employ them to give your room more texture. 


WEEK 6: CREATING AN EMOTIONAL HOME

  • How to make your room authentically you.

  • Surround yourself with the riches of your past, and the visions of your future.

  • Learn to shop your own home to make your room even more you.


WEEK 7: LAYERING IN COMFORT AND LUXURY

  • Solidify your furniture selection and budget—so you feel confident with your furniture and decor purchases. 

  • Learn key ways to add in more comfort and luxury to your room, without adding big price tags.

  • Finalize your timeline and action plan so you can keep this momentum going!


WEEK 8: ENSURING YOUR DESIGN SUCCESS

  • Wait … what the heck do you do when your purchases arrive?! Don’t panic—I’ll share my step-by-step system for unpacking your room and overcoming roadblocks. 

  • Swipe my styling secrets so you can make your room all fancy like, featuring your favorite things in all the right places. 

  • Set intentions and perform a cleansing ritual to weed out negativity and welcome your new room! (Champagne optional but recommended.) 

“I loved it all! I'm telling everyone to take this course!”

— Becca L.



“Hollis’s teaching turned the angst and disgust I felt around my space into a whole new world of exciting possibilities! I’m so glad I took the course.”

— Rachelle H.



“Hollis’s teaching is wonderfully insightful. She clearly addresses the feelings and emotional considerations in addition to the design process. Loved it! And her!”

— Amy K.

THIS COURSE ISN’T FOR EVERYONE
But it may be perfect for you if...

  • You embrace the creative process and enjoy taking time to get intentional and make thoughtful decisions. 

  • You’d rather learn “how to fish.” Sure, you could hire an interior designer to solve for every square inch of your home—but that’ll come with a hefty invoice. Instead, I’ll walk you through all the design elements—from floor to ceiling and every little detail in between—you need to completely design one room in your home. Then you can apply the exact same process to your other rooms, at your own pace. 

  • You’re ready to step away from overwhelming Pinterest city, get super-duper clear on your vision, and bring it to fruition. 

  • You have some design sense but lack the confidence to commit to an action plan. I’ll give you the support and guidance to make intentional and informed decisions based on your style. 

  • You’re not trying to replicate a cookie-cutter, glossy magazine cover room. Your goal is to create a space that feels good … and makes people say, “oh, this is SO you!”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does the course work?

    The Emotional Home Blueprint occurs over the course of eight weeks. Each week, we meet LIVE via Zoom for a group lesson. Then, I set you free to complete homework on your own time. Keep in mind, there will be an hour or two of homework each week… so plan ahead!

  • When do the meetings take place? What if I’m unable to make it?

    This fall, we are offering 2 sections: Tuesdays mornings from 10am -12pm PST and Wednesday afternoons from 4-6pm PST. If you miss a class, no worries! They’ll be recorded in the course so you can catch up. Keep in mind, this is not a self-paced course so you’ll want to do your best to attend live or catch up within a few days.

  • Will I get one-on-one feedback from you during the course?

    Yes! Each week will receive individual feedback on your homework to make sure your design is the best it can be!

  • How much time do I need to invest to complete the course?

    Each live class is 2 hours, plus an additional 2 hours of homework each week (give or take). Yes, it’s a commitment. But by the end of our 8 weeks together, you’ll have an amazing room designed and a clear action plan to bring it to life—plus the skills to design your entire home, for a fraction of what it would cost to hire an interior designer.

  • What rooms can I design during the course?

    We’ll focus on one room of your home—one that you live in, such as a living room, bedroom, or office space. The general rule of thumb: pick a room that doesn’t have plumbing. But you can still apply what you learn in the course to your entire home on your own.

  • I’m brand new to interior design! Is that okay?

    Absolutely--this is for the DIYer, and beginners are totally welcome! All you need is the availability and willingness to attend weekly lessons, complete the homework, and participate in the creative process. Note: This course is not designed for professional interior designers.

  • Do I need to have a huge furniture budget?

    Nope! We’ll cover budgeting your project, and you have full control over how much you want to invest. Plus, while the course will get you to the finish line, you have the option to space out your purchases based on priority. For example, if you want to start by splurging on your dream couch, go for it! You can slowly add the smaller items later or vice versa.
