About Us

Hello and welcome to DwellingCharm! I’m Risalat Bari, the founder and main voice behind this cozy corner of the internet. As an SEO expert, content marketer, and passive income site builder by trade, I’ve spent years figuring out how to create content that people find helpful. But more importantly, I’m someone who loves making a house feel like a home. I started DwellingCharm to share my passion for turning living spaces into something warm, personalized, and inviting for everyone.

Our Story

Think of DwellingCharm as the place where blank walls turn into personal stories and every corner finds its cozy glow. 🌟 My goal is to help you transform your space without feeling overwhelmed or out of your depth. For the record, I’m not a professional interior designer or contractor – just a regular guy with a not-so-secret obsession for paint colors, DIY projects, and all the little tweaks that make a home yours. My background in SEO and content marketing helps me get these tips and ideas in front of people who need them (I’m basically the nerd making sure our helpful guides actually show up when you search!). I’ve built a handful of niche websites over the years as part of my passive income projects, but DwellingCharm is by far my favorite because it hits close to home (literally!).

Our Mission & Values

DwellingCharm’s mission is simple: to empower you to create a home that feels unmistakably you, one DIY project or decor idea at a time. We believe that everyone – no matter your budget or experience – deserves a living space that brings comfort, joy, and a sense of pride.

We also have a few core values that guide everything we do here:

  • Keeping It Real: We share what actually works in a real home (and we’ll admit when something flops!). You can count on honest tips and down-to-earth advice, not just picture-perfect scenarios.
  • Making It Doable: You don’t need a huge budget or fancy skills to try our ideas. If we suggest a project or tip, it’s because we genuinely believe you can do it too. Our content is all about practical, bite-sized steps that anyone can follow.
  • Celebrating Creativity: There’s no one “right” way to decorate or fix up a home. We love outside-the-box ideas and encourage you to put your own personal twist on things. Your home should reflect you, and we’re here to cheer on your creativity.

Ultimately, everything we publish is with one thing in mind: helping you love the home you live in and have fun along the way.

What You’ll Find Here

On DwellingCharm, you’ll find a little bit of everything to inspire and assist you in making your home awesome, including:

  • DIY Home Improvement Projects: Step-by-step guides for simple upgrades and fixes that anyone can do (no professional contractor required!). From painting an accent wall to installing a new shelf, we’ve got you covered with easy-to-follow DIY tutorials.
  • Home Décor Ideas & Inspiration: Creative tips and style advice to decorate every room. Whether it’s choosing the perfect color palette for your living room or clever tricks to make a small apartment feel spacious, we share ideas that are stylish and practical.
  • Color & Paint Guides (plus fun Tools!): We’re a little paint-obsessed here. 🎨 Find expert-backed advice on picking paint colors and coordinating palettes for your walls, front door, or furniture. (We even developed some handy interactive tools – like an Accent Wall Color Advisor and Paint Calculator – to help you plan your projects with confidence.)
  • Cleaning & Organization Hacks: Quick cleaning tips and organization hacks to keep your home sparkling and clutter-free. From streak-free window cleaning to tidying up your closet, we dish out advice that makes maintaining your home easier.
  • Lifestyle & Cozy Living: A sprinkle of lifestyle ideas to make your home life enjoyable. Think seasonal décor guides, cozy home activities, and little daily-life tricks to help you savor living in your space.

No matter what brought you here – a desire to spruce up your decor, solve a home maintenance dilemma, or just find fresh ideas – we hope you’ll find exactly the inspiration or guidance you need. If there’s a topic you’re curious about, chances are we’ve either covered it or have it on our to-write list!

Meet the Team

DwellingCharm might have started as my personal project, but it’s definitely not a one-person show. I feel lucky to collaborate with a small, passionate team who help make this site a vibrant resource. Here are the folks working alongside me to bring you fresh ideas and insights:

Emily Stone – Home Decor Writer

Emily is our resident interior décor guru. She has a background in interior design and a serious knack for making spaces feel cozy and beautiful on a budget. She’s the creative soul behind many of our decorating articles, always coming up with stylish ideas that are actually easy to pull off. When Emily’s not writing for DwellingCharm, you can usually find her rearranging her living room (for the hundredth time!), DIY-ing a new centerpiece, or hunting for vintage treasures to upcycle into décor pieces. Her philosophy: everyone deserves a beautiful home, no matter how small or humble, and she’ll show you how to achieve it with warmth and flair.

Mark Campbell – DIY Specialist

Mark is our go-to handyman and DIY project enthusiast. He’s the guy who looks at a boring old coffee table or a plain wall and immediately starts dreaming up ways to improve it. With years of weekend projects under his belt, Mark shares step-by-step tutorials that make you think, “Hey, I can do this!” – from building simple storage solutions to tackling minor home repairs. He believes any space can be improved with a bit of creativity and elbow grease. When something creaks, leaks, or needs a tweak, Mark’s on it (usually with a toolbox in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other). His fun, can-do approach will inspire you to roll up your sleeves and try it yourself, knowing he’s here to guide you through it.

(And of course, I’m still here too – writing, editing, and making sure everything we publish meets the helpful-and-friendly test!)


In a nutshell, we’re a tiny team with a big passion for helping you create a home you love. We’re always learning and exploring new ideas right alongside our readers. DwellingCharm is as much about the community as it is about us writers – so we absolutely love when you share your own tips, stories, and questions.
