Layering Textures: The Secret to a Cozy Home

Image
A beautiful home isn't defined by how much décor it has. I think it's much more about how a space feels. One of the easiest ways to make a room feel warm and welcoming is by layering different textures. Texture gives a room depth, and I think it can make even a very neutral space feel interesting without needing a lot of decoration. Natural materials are one of my favorite places to start. Wood, linen, cotton, jute, rattan, and stone all bring something different to a room, but they work together so naturally. Instead of having everything match, try mixing a few materials that complement each other. A light oak coffee table with woven baskets and a linen sofa is much more interesting to me than a room where every piece looks like it came from the same collection. I also really love the combination of soft and structured things. Think about a smooth leather chair with a chunky knit throw. Crisp linen curtains with woven shades. A simple ceramic vase sitting on an old wood shelf....

​How to Make Your Home Feel Cozy Without Adding More Stuff

A cozy home isn't necessarily a home filled with things. Actually, I think some of the most inviting rooms are the ones that have been thoughtfully edited rather than filled with décor just because there was an empty spot. Creating a warm and comfortable home has much more to do with texture, lighting, color, and the way you actually live in the space than constantly adding something new. One of the simplest places to start is with lighting. If you are only using the overhead light in a room, try adding a few smaller sources of light instead. A lamp on a side table or console can completely change how a room feels in the evening. There is just something about having little pools of warm light around a room that makes you want to sit down and stay there. You can also create a lot of warmth with the things you already have. Fold a throw over the arm of the sofa. Put a woven basket beside a chair. Layer a few different fabrics on the bed. Linen, cotton, wool, wood, and wicker all brin...

How to Decorate With Vintage Landscape Art

Image
There is something about a vintage landscape painting that can make a room feel warmer almost immediately. Maybe it is the muted colors, the imperfect frame, or just the feeling that you are looking at a little piece of somewhere else. Landscape art has always been one of my favorite ways to bring some character into a home. It feels timeless without feeling too formal, and I love that it can work in so many different kinds of spaces. You don't have to live in an old farmhouse or have a traditional home to use it, either. A vintage landscape can look just as beautiful in a simple room with neutral colors and more modern furniture. I actually think that contrast is part of what makes it so interesting. I especially love landscapes with soft greens, warm browns, faded blues, and creamy colors. They work so naturally with things like wood, linen, and woven materials. If your room is already pretty neutral, a landscape can bring in several colors at once without making the room feel bu...
