Making a house feel like home takes time — and the right elements. My go-tos include a comfortable and cozy sofa, beautiful rug, and plenty of layers. Sectionals are a great way to create an immediate feeling of comfort that invites you to settle in and put your feet up. Utilize a solid or textured sofa as the foundation of your room design and jumping-off point for the color palette. Let your pillows be a source of texture and color, I recommend selecting velvet pillow covers or exciting prints to mix things up. I love to layer a vintage rug atop a sisal option for the ultimate cozy experience.




Incorporate furniture pieces with wood tones or varying textures like wicker, applied-grasscloth, and even leather. Each of these elements adds to that home-sweet-home feeling we're all searching for. Incorporate brass tones through accessories and furniture detailing, think: chair legs and shelving. Infusing metals into your space will add a modern touch without stealing any warmth. And don't forget art! Strategically layering art onto the walls will result in a welcoming atmosphere that invites your loved ones to come in and stay awhile.
