In the winter months, it\u2019s even more important to create a homey, warm space for family and guests. What is your top advice for designing a cozy, inviting living space?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I suggest using that fireplace! So many people do not have vented fireplaces, and therefore the heat can be obnoxious.\u00a0 Lower your thermostat and open some windows if necessary in advance of your company, and use the beauty.\u00a0 A hearth is truly a home.<\/p>\n

Holiday d\u00e9cor can easily enter the realm of \u2018hokey\u2019 or contrived. What are some important tips to keep in mind when decorating a sophisticated interior for the holidays?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you could change one element of a space to improve a visitor’s overall first impression, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are there any design trends you\u2019d like to see disappear as quickly as they came?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Widely spaced nail heads over folded under separate bands of fabric on a chair or sofa detail is just a cheap way of dealing with a difficult craft.\u00a0 Please, vendors, take the high road and go back to well-controlled folded-under edges of the continuous fabric body and then apply the nailheads.<\/p>\n
