Spaces

A room feels intentional when color, pattern, and texture are considered together, not as three separate decisions.

You’ve probably noticed brown is everywhere in design right now. What most people don’t know is why some warm palettes feel rich and layered, and others just feel dark.

It usually comes down to a few things we’re trained to look for that aren’t obvious until someone points them out.

Every home has one: a space that technically works but never quite earns its square footage. In this house, it was a sloped-ceiling hallway tucked under the eaves — part laundry closet, part catch-all, with mismatched shelving and a washer and dryer wedged under the slant of the roof. It was functional but also the last room anyone wanted to spend time in.

Gallery walls are one of the most personal things you can do with a space and there’s no single right way to build one. Some are minimal: similar tones, a clean symmetrical grid. Others are eclectic: a mix of colors, textures, and sizes in an off-set, asymmetrical layout. Both are right, as long as they’re right for you.

As the seasons change, your home should change with them. That doesn’t mean a big renovation or a shopping spree — some of the most beautiful seasonal transformations come from simply rethinking what you already have.
