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.
