As the temperature dips and the days shorten, layering becomes an art form—not only in your wardrobe but throughout your home. The best spaces (and outfits) for fall and winter feel collected, textured, and intentional.

Layering effectively is about adding depth and warmth without creating clutter or chaos. Here’s how to do it well.

When I started designing homes, I believed good design was all about control — a perfectly balanced palette, a tidy vignette, every pillow fluffed just so. Then I had kids. And everything — the schedule, the priorities, the floor plan — changed.

What surprised me most wasn’t how much my kids challenged my sense of order, but how much they taught me about design. They gave me a new way to see what home really means.

Here’s what I’ve learned from them.

As the holidays approach, our homes start to hum with energy — twinkle lights, gift wrap, and that familiar mix of excitement and chaos that comes with little ones counting down the days.

Prepping the playroom isn’t just about finding storage — it’s about creating space for joy, imagination, and a bit of calm amid the holiday magic.

Here’s how I approach it each season:

As the days grow shorter and the calendar fills with celebrations, our homes become the stage for gathering, reconnecting, and creating new memories. Preparing your home for guests—and for the holidays themselves—isn’t about perfection. It’s about hospitality, comfort, and those subtle details that make people feel immediately at ease.

Here’s how to thoughtfully ready your home for the season ahead.

Thanksgiving is a mood as much as a meal. Your table should welcome people to linger—beautiful, unfussy, and quietly luxurious. Here’s our go-to guide for setting a polished, personal table without the stress.

I recently had the pleasure of exploring the Lilly Pulitzer archive on display at 200 Lexington, and I can’t stop thinking about how much it inspires interior design. For anyone who knows my work, you know I’m drawn to color, pattern, and personality, and stepping into this archive was like walking into a master class on both.

As the last golden days of summer stretch out before us, there’s a certain sweetness in the air — a mix of sun-soaked memories, lingering evenings, and the gentle pull of what comes next. This time of year always feels like a threshold: one foot still in flip-flops and sundresses, the other stepping toward the structure and rhythm of fall.

Every summer, I try to step away from the day-to-day and head to the island with my family. We’ve just wrapped up a few wonderful weeks spent on Chappaquiddick (or "Chappy" if you know, you know), tucked just off the coast of Edgartown, with a little time in Nantucket sprinkled in for good measure.

I worked remotely while soaking up the salty air, sharing sun-drenched afternoons with my family, laughing with mom friends who made the trek, and enjoying a dreamy overnight visit with a friend in Sconset.

But let’s be honest—once a designer, always a designer. And I couldn’t help but bring home a camera roll full of inspiration and a head full of ideas.

We believe in beautiful homes—but not the kind that ask you to live around them. Life is inherently messy: kids spill, dogs nap where they shouldn’t, shoes pile up, and the good throw blanket becomes a fort.

And yet, your home shouldn’t feel like it’s constantly in crisis. That’s where we lean into what we call “beautiful practical”—a design philosophy that blends elevated aesthetics with everyday durability. It’s not about compromise. It’s about designing smart, with heart.

Here’s how we help clients create spaces that are both stunning and livable—one decision at a time.

May brings a fresh perspective—windows open, natural light pouring in, and a collective urge to breathe new life into our homes. This season, interior design is leaning into layers of comfort, organic materials, and refined personality. Here’s what we're loving right now at Style and Space Interiors!

Whether you’re working with a small space that needs to function as both a guest room and an office, or you have a unique area that needs to serve multiple purposes, the right furniture can completely transform your home. And the best part? You don’t have to sacrifice beauty for function. Thoughtful, multifunctional pieces allow your space to adapt to your needs—seamlessly and stylishly.

If you, like us, have been completely captivated by the stunning aesthetic of White Lotus Thailand—the serene yet dramatic spaces, the layered textures, the mix of high-shine lacquer and raw natural materials—then it’s time to bring that elevated, Asian-inspired sophistication into your own home.

Here’s how we’re channeling the look!

Every great space starts with a vision, but translating that vision into a tangible, functional design takes a well-structured process. At Style and Space, we believe in a layered and thoughtful approach—one that ensures every detail is considered while keeping the bigger picture in focus. A key part of this process? Renderings.

Embarking on a new design project is exciting, and the best way to set yourself up for success is to come prepared with a clear vision. A well-thought-out mood board can help translate your ideas into something tangible and cohesive, serving as a guiding light throughout the design process. Here’s how to create your own mood board and gather inspiration to maximize your collaboration with an interior designer.

Designing a playroom is one of the most exciting projects a parent or caregiver can embark on. It’s a space where creativity, comfort, and fun seamlessly blend. As a designer, I’m passionate about crafting environments that not only reflect my clients’ personalities but also evolve with the changing needs of the family.

Nestled in the rugged beauty of the Sonoran Desert, Taliesin West is more than just architecture; it’s a living dialogue between vision and execution. On my recent visit, I was reminded of why Frank Lloyd Wright’s work resonates so deeply with our approach to design. Taliesin West embodies the balance between big-picture vision and the details that bring it to life—a balance we strive for in every project we undertake.

Travel doesn’t just influence the way I design—it changes the way I see the world, and that perspective naturally finds its way into my work. It’s in the unexpected use of color, the thoughtful layering of textures, and the way I think about the flow of a space.
