About Orlandy
Design the home you love — on any budget
Orlandy is a warm, independent guide to interior design and decorating. We help everyday people style rooms they love — without the jargon, the snobbery, or a designer-sized budget.
Why we started Orlandy
Most decorating advice falls into one of two traps. It is either aspirational to the point of being useless — a magazine spread with a five-figure budget and a south-facing wall of windows — or it is a thin excuse to sell you a sofa. Either way, it tends to leave people feeling like their home isn't good enough. We wanted a third option: warm, honest, jargon-free help for real rooms, real budgets, and people who just want their space to feel like them.
Orlandy started in 2026 when our founder, a former stylist, got tired of watching people freeze up over paint chips and sofa choices. The goal was simple: take the fear out of decorating. Today we publish across six areas — room by room, styles & inspiration, decorating & color, small spaces, furniture & layout, and budget & renter-friendly — all built on the same belief: a home you love is about how a space feels, not how much it costs.
How we work
Every article is written or edited by a named member of our team with hands-on experience — styling rooms, planning layouts, hunting down thrifted finds, and testing renter-friendly fixes that actually come off the wall. We favour practical depth over endless trend round-ups, we update guides as products and prices change, and we are honest that good design is subjective: what we love, you might not, and that's the whole point.
Orlandy is published by MOODLR DESENVOLVIMENTO DIGITAL LTDA (trading as Moodlr Dev Hub). Our content is design inspiration and general information, not professional interior-design, architectural, or contracting advice — read more in our disclaimer and about how we research and style in our editorial policy.
What we value
The principles behind every article
Real homes, real budgets
We write for rentals, small apartments, and busy family homes — not photo studios. If an idea only works with a designer's budget or perfect light, we say so.
Reader-first, always
Our ideas are independent. We are never paid to praise a brand or product, and we keep advertising clearly separate from editorial styling and advice.
Your taste, not ours
There's no single right way to decorate. We help you find the look you love and make it yours — no trend-chasing and no design snobbery.
Plain and practical
No jargon, no gatekeeping. We explain color, layout, and style the way we'd explain them to a friend who just got the keys.
The team
Who writes Orlandy
Sloane spent years as an interior stylist watching people freeze up over paint chips and sofa choices, and founded Orlandy to take the fear out of decorating. She believes a good home isn't about a big budget or a magazine-perfect finish — it's about spaces that feel like you. She writes with warmth, a stylist's eye, and a deep dislike of design snobbery.
Oliver thinks in floor plans. He writes about designing real rooms for real life — where the sofa actually goes, how traffic flows, and how to make a space both beautiful and livable. A former retail-furniture planner, he's practical about proportion and allergic to rooms you can't walk through.
Mira is fascinated by why a room makes you feel a certain way — and how color, texture, and style come together to do it. She demystifies design movements from Scandinavian to Japandi and helps readers find their own taste instead of copying a trend. She believes there are no wrong colors, only wrong rooms for them.
Jonah writes about furniture and tight footprints — how to buy pieces that last, and how to make a small home feel generous. A lifelong apartment dweller, he's tested every space-saving trick there is and is blunt about which ones actually work. His rule: measure twice, buy once, and never sacrifice comfort for looks.
Priya believes a rental can feel like home and a tight budget can still look gorgeous. She writes about decorating for less — thrifting, upcycling, renter-friendly fixes, and where to splurge versus save. She's proof that style is about resourcefulness, not money, and she has the deposit-safe walls to show for it.
