Have you ever walked into a room and thought, what makes this space feel so warm and cozy? Maybe you have even thought, how do I capture this in my home? Maybe you struggle with adding in finishing touches that help bring it all together.

Cozy, warm, well finished spaces are made up of layers. We love adding layers to classic foundational selections to add depth, interest and sophistication to a space.

Here’s why it’s important:

Visual Interest and Depth: Layering different elements such as textures, colors, patterns, and materials creates visual interest and depth in a room. It prevents the space from appearing flat or one-dimensional.

Personalization: Layering allows you to showcase your personal style and preferences. By mixing different elements that reflect your taste, you can create a space that feels unique and tailored to you.

Balance and Harmony: It helps achieve balance and harmony in the room. By carefully layering different elements, you can distribute visual weight evenly throughout the space, avoiding any areas that feel overly busy or empty.

Functionality: Layering also serves functional purposes. For example, layering rugs can define different areas within an open floor plan or provide warmth and comfort underfoot.

Seasonal Flexibility: Layering allows you to easily update and refresh a room according to seasons or changing trends. You can swap out accessories or textiles to give the space a new look without a complete overhaul.

Luxurious Feel: Well-layered spaces often have a more luxurious and curated feel. This can elevate the overall aesthetic and make the room feel more inviting and comfortable.

In essence, layering in decorating is about creating a cohesive, visually appealing, and functional space that reflects your personality and style while ensuring it feels balanced and harmonious.
