The Journal

A welcoming living room does not need an object in every corner.

A reading corner can be a chair turned toward the window rather than a separate room or a new furniture purchase.

A quiet bedroom can hold color, texture and personal objects.

An entryway is a place of movement.

Wood brings variation into a room.

Texture is often what makes a simple room feel inviting.

A room with several materials can still feel calm when each surface has a clear role.

A connected palette does not require every room to use the same colors in the same amounts.

At the end of the day, a room can feel different without moving a single piece of furniture.
