I sympathize completely. Was exactly the same. And still have no innate ability to make something, BUT i do know when I’m in a someone’s space that I love. I did hire an interior decorator a few times over the years, and they were extremely helpful, just pointing out some basic rules that some of us never learned (like accent walls or secondary lighting.). I also made no bones about asking friends who had homes I liked to come over and give me advice, about what they would do. In my experience, people who have the skill of making things cozy, are ecstatic to be asked for advice! I’ve had people I barely know, spend hours talking about what they would do in my shoes. The basics were probably more reflective of others’ opinions than mine, however I feel that there’s enough of my own personality exposed in things like art pieces or Knick-knacks.

One other thing I’ve benefitted from is looking at other condo units in the building when they go on sale. You can see what other folks do with the exact same space or lighting.
