Doors part 1 | Best Advice for Interior Doors

In this episode we talk about doors, which is a fun subject to discuss during this holiday season when front doors are so decorated and seen by those we care about. We had a listener send in a great question about doors and we wanted to answer and expand on this. We will be doing two parts to this episode and in this part, we’re going to talk about interior doors. Sophie asked what the do’s and don’ts are of interior doors, if single door panels are going out of style, what type of door style is timeless, and do they all need to be the same? So listen to this episode to get our take. Intro 0:00 Christmas season 1:00 Interior doors 12:30 See what we’re talking about on YouTube 15:00 Single panel door 22:45 Double panel door 27:10 Three panel door 30:35 Doors with glazing 43:20 Transoms 47:50 Door trim 50:55 Do’s and don’ts 54:50 Barn doors 59:30 “There are really these golden means to the weighted portion that you were just talking about. When we’re looking at door elevations and customizing them or picking them, your eyeballs naturally go to the one that feels the most balanced and has the weighted bottom,, and it has the hardware in the right spot. That’s a good door. If you don’t trust yourself, talk to somebody that you trust to look at the doors before you buy or build them.” 28:20 https://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/ https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/ https://alicelanehome.com/ https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHome https://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/ https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecity https://www.alicelaneinteriordesign.com/interior-design-service-podcast-campaign https://alicelanehome.com/pages/home-furnishing-podcast-campaign News Letter: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5

High Point Market | Fall 2024 Recap

We almost forgot to do an episode on this until Sue started receiving a bunch of DM’s about it, so now we’re finally going to answer your questions about how Fall Market went this year. Everyone is going to see different things there because their eyes are conditioned to see what they love, what project they’re working on, but we wanted to tell you what we saw and give you our perspective. We go to market now too to understand the industry better because we are developing our own product now and we want to create things that don’t already exist, which we think will give you guys a unique perspective, so we hope you can enjoy this fun episode today. Intro 0:00 Traveling and crazy stories 3:00 Styles we saw 16:10 Traditional frames 28:00 New tech 34:30 “Patterns, and the form of the chair. It feels traditional, but then there are little things like it’s just turned on a 45 instead of straight. The detailing is good and the fabric is flow matched. Flow matching means that when it’s being upholstered in a pattern, the back matches up with the pattern as it turns up onto the seat, down onto the cushion, and so forth.” 33:25 https://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/ https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/ https://alicelanehome.com/ https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHome https://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/ https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecity https://www.alicelaneinteriordesign.com/interior-design-service-podcast-campaign https://alicelanehome.com/pages/home-furnishing-podcast-campaign News Letter: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5

So you know your lover, but I think it’s not only beautiful, but practical and it could hold something really precious to him.” 39:50 https://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/ https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/ https://alicelanehome.com/ https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHome https://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/ https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecity https://www.alicelaneinteriordesign.com/interior-design-service-podcast-campaign https://alicelanehome.com/pages/home-furnishing-podcast-campaign News Letter: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5

A huge Fan of Dear Alice- Inspired and Grateful!

Nov 27

Leahmiz88

Dear Dear Alice Team, I just wanted to take a moment to express how much I absolutely adore your podcast. I started listening in 2021 when my husband and I purchased our first home, and I was immediately hooked. Your insightful advice, warm personalities, and thoughtful design discussions have been a huge source of inspiration for me throughout our renovation journey. In fact, your podcast played such a pivotal role in sparking my passion for interior design that I decided to pursue my own certification! I went back to school and earned my interior design certification, all thanks to the motivation I gained from listening to you. Every week, I look forward to your new episodes, eager to learn more and hear your expert insights. Your advice has helped shape not just my personal style but my understanding of the design process. I am so grateful for the knowledge and encouragement you've shared with your listeners. Thank you for creating such an amazing podcast—I can’t wait to continue learning and growing as a designer with your guidance. With gratitude, Leah from NY
Favorite podcast!!!

I have been listening to this podcast since they launched. I loved hearing their stories and advice, but lately I’ve noticed how judgmental and snobby they are about personal design choices. It’s very unattractive. In addition to that, they have launched the podcast on YouTube, for the extra revenue, I’m sure. However, podcasting is not a visual medium. We cannot see what they are showing us and talking about, which is really frustrating as a listener. Combine that with the snobbery and it is apparent that these women are out of touch in too many ways.
Fun!
