Rooms

Room by room, daily life comes first.

Start with how the room needs to work, then make a few choices that support it.

Bright kitchen and breakfast room with open French doors, linen curtains, reclaimed oak table, coffee, fruit, and branches

Room guides

Start with how the room is used.

Each guide looks at what happens there, then at the pieces that can help.

Sunlit living room with linen sofa, open French doors, oak table, fruit, coffee, books, and olive branches

A living room made for people to stay.

Comfortable seating, a rug large enough for the group, and a sturdy table are a good place to start.

A place to start

Three useful starting points.

The details change by room. Choose what helps yours.

One material to repeat

Repeating a wood, stone, metal, or textile can help the room feel connected.

Something useful with a strong shape

A chair, table, vessel, or light can do its job and still be enjoyable to look at.

A little empty space

You don't have to fill every wall or surface.
