Our Favorite Home Design Tips for Casual, Comfy Vibes

Step away from the sets. While furniture sets were once the only option for filling out a room, these days, designers are recommending that people move away from matchy-matchy decor to create spaces that contain much more variety. However, if you already have a set you love, don’t think you have to toss it! Consider getting one piece of it reupholstered or breaking it up between rooms to add visual interest.

Balance it out with art. Art makes a huge impact on the walls of a home and can truly put the finishing touches on any room. Wall art also has the ability to balance out your furniture—for example, if you have more contemporary pieces, classical art can give it a timeless feel. If you are DIY-savvy, there are also plenty of options for getting large artwork for a budget-friendly price.

Keep things cozy. One of the pinnacles of the casual design trend is being able to get cozy pretty much anywhere in the home. Furry throws, luxe pillows and plush furniture can all pair together to make a house where you could take a nap in pretty much any room—and feel chic while you do it. While too much can be plush overload, pairing more rigid pieces or leather upholstery with fur and other plush textures can create a nice balance in the home.
