What is the “let you” theory?
Mel Robbins' book, The theory lets her theorywas released in December 2024 and has already sold over 1.2 million copies worldwide. While the book is full of helpful advice, the most important snack is easy.
“The message with the theory” Let's “is that the power that power is going outside of them is always in them,” said Robbins during an interview Today's show. “Two simple words – you have you – are the key to help you see what is in your control and what is not in your control.”
The theory has clearly dealt with humans, and many comments on the viral video, which state that they have changed themselves, their relationships and their perspectives on life. But the Mindset shift does not have to stop there. We asked experts whether the theory “let them” could be applied to the house design, and they answered with a clear “yes”.
1. Decorate yourself, not for trends
What is considered popular in the home and decorative world is constantly changing. The latest trends can always lead to the design of burnout or has the feeling that your home is not always enough. Taylor says the theory “Let her” make it easier for her space to always be trendy.
“Home design is about creating a sanctuary that reflects it, not the version of itself that fits into the shape of what everyone else has,” she says. “From the colors you love, to the layout that fits your lifestyle, your home should feel like an extension from you – not personally.”
Instead of changing your style in such a way that you meet every decor, you curate your own style that you will love in the coming years. Slowly collect furniture and decorative pieces to make sure you love you when trends come and go. “Let your home tell your story, not that of another,” says Taylor.
2. Determine what works for you
Another way to no longer compare your home with others is to recognize that everyone has other needs and purposes for their space. For example, some people may demand that their home have space for training or in a home office, while these rooms may not be necessary for others. As Taylor says, there are no “uniform Fits-All”, they answer when it comes to houses.
In addition, your home will change over time. Elliott Caldwell, co -founder and CEO of Home Team Luxury Rentals, says that they should keep a flexible way of thinking in their home and to understand: “Homeowners should make incremental progress based on their current interests and needs.” Taylor says that your needs change, it is important to integrate decorative and design strategies that work for your personal situation.
“The key is to design a space that supports how you live, not like others think you should think,” says Taylor.
3 .. own or rent – do your own
It is easy to want what you don't have – whether that is an apartment, house or an additional function such as a pool or a finished basement. Caldwell says that the theory “Let's” suggests that you avoid seeing page to what your colleagues have so that you do not concentrate on what you don't have. “If you buy or rent a house, this perspective of buyers and tenants should concentrate on the rooms that work for you,” he says.
Regardless of whether you rent a studio apartment or have a house, do not let comparisons prevent you from hugging all your space. “If you rent, there is no reason why your space cannot feel at home,” says Taylor. “Temporarily does not mean incomplete.”
If you rent, spend time with your room feel like at home. Add tenant-friendly design elements such as peel-and-stick wallpaper, tiles or trimming and add decor and furniture that you love. “Don't let yourself be involved in what others think that a” home “should look – whether you own it or not, it is your space for design,” says Taylor.
