I may be aging myself, but I've discovered a lot thanks to my dad over three decades - my favorite band (My Morning Jacket), the perfect margarita recipe, and an appreciation for good art, rugs, and antiques. My dad has a keen eye for design and is perpetually decorating our family house in Kentucky with some newly acquired paintings or vintage chairs (much to my mom's chagrin). As I've furnished my so-called "adult" apartments, he's essentially doubled as my built-in interior consultant, too.

I enjoy nothing more in the fall than flopping onto my couch for two to infinity hours and binge-watching my favorite comfort show (ahem, Gilmore Girls). I live for the comfort of my cozy cushions and the vibes of fall decor and scented candles surrounding me. Obviously, for the optimal viewing experience, you need the perfect couch - whatever that means for you.

Tiny camouflaged secrets hidden around my home? Little whimsical surprises where you'd least expect them? Sign me up. I didn't buy any right away, but I couldn't stop thinking about them. Now that it's fall, I started, as I usually do, to think of ways to make my family's home just a little bit cozier, which goes hand in hand with ways to make our days more whimsical in my mind.

When you open Instagram or TikTok, it feels like every new design trend is everywhere all at once. One month it's bouclé chairs, the next it's neon signs or checkerboard rugs. Algorithms push the same images on repeat, making it seem like these looks are timeless must-haves,

When we moved into our four-bedroom apartment last year, I knew I had to do something to personalize the walls. Since we had already splurged on two large paintings, I decided to finally tackle creating a gallery wall. Given our collection of watercolors and drawings - we love to buy art when we travel, and my husband's a diplomat by day and artist by night - it would've been a waste not to hang the pieces we've accumulated.

I know a column at the Whitman Plaza Goodwill absolutely hates to see me coming,

Juan from Home With Juan on Instagram recently showed off his latest find in a video posted to his feed. It's a bright orange, circle-shaped hamper that splits in half for easy access to clothing on laundry day. It looks more like a sculpture than a hamper, and is also a great size for smaller spaces. "So sick and fits in that little corner PERFECTLY," Juan wrote in his caption.

The Paint Mirror brings this well-known (to a certain generation) interface to life as a functional wall piece, blending vintage digital charm with modern interior design.

This 904-square-foot, two-bedroom apartment is located is an old farmhouse constructed in the 18th century.

He wanted something that felt manly, was big enough to host his friends for football nights, and beyond anything else, was something that was so comfortable he could pass out on it and not make his scoliosis worse. I, on the other hand, wanted something chic. I also needed a couch that would be easy to clean our dog's paw prints off of, didn't overcrowd our small Chelsea apartment, and would fit the minimalist aesthetic I'd worked so hard to curate.

If it's a lack of seating that inhibits you from hosting game night or book club, a collection of the best floor cushions is all you need to create ample options for guests. Historically linked to meditation and traditional Japanese dining culture, today's iterations are all about modern living needs that suit every whim-lounging while binging on the White Lotus reruns, creating a reading nook, or simply losing oneself in texts at the end of the day.

If I'm being totally honest, taking down the living room gallery wall was part of a larger restart in 2025 for me. Approximately 10 to 20 frames of crowded, colorful artwork on the walls were beginning to feel overwhelming to me (in addition to some other overwhelming stuff going on). I was seeking something simpler, and I really liked AT contributor Jessie Quinn's idea of creating gallery clusters - groupings of just one to three frames.
