About

I’m Claire Whitmore, an interior designer and content creator passionate about making beautiful spaces accessible to everyone — no matter the size of your home or your budget.

I started Decortrending to share practical, creative ideas for people living in small spaces — from college dorms to studio apartments. Over the years, I’ve learned that design isn’t about having a big house or expensive furniture. It’s about understanding how light, texture, and functionality can transform any room into something that feels truly yours.

My goal is simple: help you create a home you love waking up to.

On my YouTube channel, I share real projects, DIY makeovers, and honest design advice. You’ll see everything from budget-friendly transformations to tips on styling with secondhand finds. I believe interior design should be fun, flexible, and personal — not intimidating or out of reach.
