Styling Details
Small details and simple styling tricks that make a room feel more intentional.
A room that feels collected rarely comes from matching everything. It comes from layering pieces with different shapes, textures and finishes that somehow feel like they belong together.
Here, warm brass, soft ivory and one unexpected touch of color create a vignette that feels layered and timeless rather than overly styled. These four little details prove you don’t need to change the whole room to give it more character.

A simple way to make everyday essentials feel styled instead of scattered.
A Little Vintage Character: Proof that a piece doesn’t have to be large to make an impression. I love the antique-inspired detail of this little mirror for adding a collected-over-time feeling to a vignette.
Pretty can be practical. An ornate pinboard turns everyday organization into part of the room; perfect for displaying jewelry, favorite photos and little pieces worth keeping in sight.
Furniture with Character
Interesting pieces chosen for their shape, finish and the personality they bring to a room.
The pieces that make a room memorable aren’t always the largest ones. I love small-scale furniture with interesting shapes, unexpected finishes and just enough character to make a space feel collected, like these two.
Character Behind the Sofa: A substantial console can turn an overlooked spot into part of the room. I love the rustic wood and strong trestle shape of this one—it has the presence of a much more expensive piece.
Cozy Ambience
Little things that make home feel a little more peaceful.
One of my favorite ways to add a soft pool of light to a bookshelf, console or kitchen counter. Cordless, dimmable and available in four finishes.
I use flameless tapers throughout my home for the warmth of candlelight without an open flame. The remote and timer make them especially easy to use.
Nothing makes a room feel like fall quite like a beautiful seasonal scent. Autumn Leaves is one of my favorites for adding that warm, cozy feeling.
I use these little lights everywhere: inside hurricanes, lanterns and decorative pieces that need a little extra glow. This is one of my favorite tricks for making a room feel cozy during the darker fall and winter months.
Soft light, the gentle sound of rain, and a little extra humidity, all in one. I love this for a bedroom, reading corner, or anywhere you want to create a calmer atmosphere.
An effortless way to add a little magic to your walkway after dark, and beautiful enough to use all year long.

Cozy Layers
Soft textures and comfortable layers that make a room feel warmer, more inviting, and a little more lived-in.
An easy layer for adding warmth, texture and a subtle touch of fall without changing the whole room. I love the soft neutral plaid and tasseled edge, it feels seasonal without being overly “fall.”
Add a little playful charm to your fall decorating with this adorable black cat pillow cover. Perfect for a reading chair, sofa, bedroom or cozy fall corner.
A little animal print can be the unexpected detail that keeps a neutral room from feeling too predictable. This cozy leopard throw adds warmth, texture, and just enough personality.
