Fall decorating does not have to mean completely changing your home or filling every room with pumpkins and seasonal decor. Some of the most beautiful fall spaces are created simply by adding warmth, texture and layers to what you already have. For me, creating a cozy home is less about adding more things and more about choosing the right materials. A chunky throw, a velvet pillow, warm wood tones or even candlelight can completely change the feeling of a room. Here are a few

Not every item needs to be top-of-the-line, but there are certain areas where spending a little more can completely change how your home looks, feels, and functions. As an interior designer, I always encourage clients to invest in the pieces that are difficult or expensive to replace later and save on the items that can easily be updated over time. S
