Holiday season is amongst us, and that means family and friends will be staying the night. Create a welcoming bedroom setting for them. Start with a soft color palette; combine white bedding, a dark blanket and combine aqua linen and light-grey print throw pillows. Next, make sure there is plenty of lighting. Here there is a pair of swing-arm scones, to highlight art and decorative objects, and brass lamps, for reading. Lastly, there is nothing more welcoming than floral arrangements. Your guests will feel right at home!

Fall Blues
Blue is not just a trend for spring! An easy way to achieve this fresh fall look is by mixing deep shades of blue with rich charcoals, metals and citrusy greens. To keep you warm on cool fall evenings, cozy up with a pair of plush navy pillows and a soft blue tassel throw. The silver ottomans create a fun, yet functional, aspect to the room and bright green crabapple branches gives a burst of color that compliments beautifully with the muted metals and berry blues. These pieces are also fabulous to style your home year-round!

Create a
Tablescape
Are you hosting a party or enjoy entertaining? A beautiful tablescape can add instant glamor to any event. Imagine your table as a blank canvas with endless design possibilities. Begin by choosing a theme, style or color palette. Then, play with the contrast of colors and materials. For example, combining glam with rustic will create balance and add depth. Include natural organic layers, like fruit, flowers or greenery, to the table. Lastly, enjoy your company and the conversation!

Habitat
The most successful homes reflect the owner’s personal style and aesthetic. When designing your home think about how to integrate furnishings and accessories you love with comfort and functionality. To keep it simple, yet interesting, select items in the same tonal range with different styles and textures. For example; mix pillows and a throw with playful and traditional patterns and select accessories, like sculpture and a leather stool, that add another layer of interest. Have fun creating a space that is uniquely yours!

Quick Bookcase
Styling
A bookshelf is no longer just for books, it’s the perfect place to showcase style and accessories. When it comes to styling shelves it’s all about balance, layering and editing. Start off by stacking and placing coffee table books. A quick designer tip, keep the bindings neutral. Next, incorporate accessories. Blend textured items, like embossed wooden boxes and a crystal votive, with modern and antique pieces. Lastly, a bookcase is the perfect spot to showcase art and fun table lamp.

Muted
Beauty
Although, I am not a designer who bases my designs around trends, one of the biggest trends of 2019 I can get behind is the use of muted tones. The earthy natural colors bring a subtle hint of color that makes a room feel refreshing. Easy ways to add to your already existing furniture is through throws, toss pillows, rugs and accessories. The soft tones allow you to not be afraid to mix patterns, like a traditional herringbone throw with a geometric printed pillow, and to layer textures with woven baskets, wool rugs, and fun decorative accents.

Tones
In a bedroom, the most important quality is comfort. Achieve this by choosing a calming color palette, like a combination of soft blushes and muted neutrals, and showcase it in your bedding and accessories. Add a touch of glamor with a gilded side table, texture with a beautiful herringbone wool throw and pattern with an Oushak medallion rug. These are all perfect ways to add subtle details and create a soft surrounding.
