The holidays have a way of convincing us that every surface needs a ribbon, a reindeer, or a bowl of something sparkly. But festive doesn’t have to mean crowded. The goal is charm, not the North Pole after a clearance sale. With a few intentional swaps and edits, you can bring in holiday cheer without sacrificing your sanity, or your tabletops. Read on, to learn more.

The unofficial gathering space, the coffee-refill hub, and the scene of at least three daily “What’s for dinner?” conversations. The kitchen, as the focal point of your home, deserves special treatment. Perfect segue: the perfect candidate for a small design change with a big payoff is the accent wall.

When you hear the word home, I hope your reaction isn’t to focus on your to-do list—paint touch-ups, mystery piles, and the bathroom you keep intending to upgrade. Ideally, home evokes thoughts of favorite people, favorite meals, inside jokes, and the kind of everyday moments that turn into “remember when…” stories. Yes, some of us genuinely enjoy moving furniture and choosing paint colors (guilty 😊), but underneath it all, there’s a deeper reason we keep tinkering with our spaces. We’re trying to create a place where the people we love will someday look back and think, “Those were some of my favorite memories.” That, more than anything, is why home matters—especially as the holiday season starts to peek around the corner.

Is your closet a terrifying black hole where clothes disappear, shoes multiply, and the lone sock population continues to grow? If so—or even if you’ve come down with the sick-of-my-closet blues—it might be time for a closet makeover. But before you dive in headfirst, let’s talk strategy. This blog can help you avoid being buried under a mountain of sweaters questioning your life choices.

Choosing a paint color is only half the battle. Once you’ve fallen in love with “Dove Whisper” or “Coastal Cloud,” you’ll be faced with another decision: what sheen should you use? Flat, satin, gloss—they all sound nice enough but pick the wrong one and you may miss out on the feel you’re trying to create.

Think of sheen as your paint’s personality. It affects how shiny the surface looks, how well it hides flaws, and how easy it is to clean. Here’s a cheat sheet to help you select the right finish for every space in your home.

When the weather cools, it’s tempting to pack up every seashell and lemon-patterned napkin in sight and redecorate from scratch. But fall decorating doesn’t have to mean starting over. With a few smart swaps, you can stretch your summer décor into a new season — no bonfire for your beachy pillows required.

Here are some simple, affordable ways to make the transition smooth and stylish.

The days are shorter, the air is cooler, and suddenly iced tea feels gives way to pumpkin latte. Fall is when your home begins to regain its favor from the great outdoors. To seamlessly make the shift, you don’t need to overhaul your décor. A few well-placed touches can transform your rooms into spaces that invite cozy relaxing with a mug of hot cider.

Accessories should elevate a room, not overwhelm it. If your bookshelves, mantels or side tables look crowded, messy, and definitely not curated, then accessory overload may be the culprit.

Good news: the fix may not require buying new things. Simply styling what you already own is often the cure. Read on for tips to stop the clutter and create spaces that feel balanced and intentional and contribute to loving where you live.

Your coffee table may serve as the anchor of your living room. It’s where conversations happen, mugs are parked, and remotes mysteriously disappear. Such an important piece is often forgotten, so styling it can boost the vibe of your entire room. No need to overcomplicate. Here are tips to get it just right—stylish, personal and functional.

A well-styled bed can transform your bedroom from ordinary to magazine-worthy in minutes. It’s more than just where you sleep—it’s the focal point of the room. With the right combination of layers, textures, and colors, you can create a look that’s inviting, polished, and entirely your own. Here are three designer-approved approaches you can try today.

Redesign means making intentional changes to your space using what you already own—or with minimal new additions—to improve function and style without a full renovation.

Redesigning your home can feel exciting, overwhelming, and slightly dangerous (especially if you’ve recently fallen down a Pinterest rabbit hole). The good news is you don’t need a degree in interior design or a truckload of money to excel in transforming your home. You just need a little direction and a willingness to get your DIY on.

You drag your sofa and rug a foot to the left, only to bring it back to the right. You stand in the doorway, hands on hips, wondering if the chair goes better there or there-there. You wrack your brain wondering if the current furniture arrangement is the only one that will ever work. We’ve all had experiences like these. Room layout can feel like a giant jigsaw puzzle with no helpful picture on the box lid. Questions abound, and in today’s blog I will answer the most common ones.
