Meet Francesca
Owner + Writer
Welcome to Straightforward Spaces, the decor site about how to decorate your apartment while being on a budget.
Let me introduce myself: I'm Francesca, in my early 30's, navigating life, travelling, working full time, and writing this blog.
I love beautiful spaces, and I believe that a stylish apartment doesn't have to be super expensive.
I'm starting this blog as a place for my writing and to share all the best ideas for apartment living on a budget. It is really important to me to be able to create a beautiful space, without breaking the bank!
Facts about me
- Growing up, I used to be super unorganized and messy – now, I find so much calm in keeping myself and my space organized. My brain feels instantly clearer when my space is clean.
- I'm a huge advocate for decluttering my space and my life - I fully believe in letting go of what was to make space for what is meant to be.
- I'm a research fanatic; you can find me constantly comparing products/places to find out which one is the best.
- I'm a huge food and coffee lover. Whenever I visit a new city, I want to try to find all the best brunch and coffee spots.
- I love recreating expensive styles on a budget. I'm lowkey obsessed with finding the most expensive-looking furniture and décor on a budget! I am also a (self-proclaimed) pro at finding dupes!
