THE COLOR INSPIRATION: NAVY + NEUTRALS

www.abigailamira.com

For this palette, I choose a grey fabric on the beds upholstery.

I used a natural fiber rug to add a little more warmth and texture to the room. If you are feeling a bit more bold, you can use a rug with a pop of blue.

I used a pattern curtain in navy to add some color and interest.

I wanted to see more of those sandy hues so I choose two matching nightstands in a washed walnut finish to flank the bed.

I like to have extra seating so I placed a cozy chair in a deep navy. You could tone down the room by adding a neutral chair or a leather option to add some more warmth. This is the base of our design. These items are what I like to call key investments pieces. They are the pieces that you will touch everyday for years to come. I like to make sure these are good quality and mostly neutral items (my neutrals colors are white, grey, navy blue, black and beige).

Now that we have a strong base let’s start adding in the accents! I choose to add two ottomans instead of the traditional bench at the end of the bed.

I added an interesting art piece.

Lamps with a gentle curve to break up all the vertical lines.

I layered in a simple pillow combination.

I placed some thoughtful nightstand accessories and finally plants! I believe every room needs plants, fresh flowers and/or greenery to add life to the space. Don’t have a green thumb? There are many great faux options!

Why “Collected” Interiors Are Quietly Replacing Perfectly Matched Decor

Why “Collected” Interiors Are Quietly Replacing Perfectly Matched Decor
Interiors

What if the most beautiful homes aren't the ones that look perfectly decorated, but the ones that tell a story? We're seeing a shift away from cookie-cutter interiors and perfectly matched decor toward spaces that feel collected, personal, and thoughtfully layered. From mixing vintage finds with modern pieces to incorporating sentimental heirlooms and embracing the imperfections of everyday life, I'm exploring why a home with personality will always be more meaningful than one that simply looks picture-perfect.

A Home for Gathering: Designing a Space That Brings People Together
Interiors

Lately, I've been thinking about how entertaining at home used to be a regular part of social life, from casual cocktail parties to spontaneous evenings with friends and neighbors. Perhaps what our homes are missing isn't another beautiful piece of furniture, but more opportunities to connect. I'm exploring the return of in-person conversation, simple weekly get-togethers, and how creating intentional conversation spaces in our homes can help bring back a little more connection, community, and time together.

How to Bring the Ralph Lauren Aesthetic Home With Cozy Flannel

When I think of fall, I think of falling leaves, warm caramel apple cider (or pumpkin spice for my coffee-drinking husband), apple cider donuts, pumpkins, and, of course, flannel. Like every good cozy fall read, flannel makes us feel safe and snug. This surprisingly versatile material works in most interior spaces, from traditional to modern.

The 2026 Home Decor Trend That Makes Your Home Feel More Personal
Interiors

In 2026, homes are becoming less about matching sets and more about creating a lived-in, collected-over-time style. Think Nancy Meyer’s film settings in Something’s Gotta Give, Father of the Bride, and The Holiday. Homes that emphasize warmth, personality, and feel like they are actually lived in. We are stepping away from minimal interiors in favor of natural materials like full-grain leather, hardwoods, and natural stone that develop a beautiful patina over time.

How to Create a Warm & Elegant Fall Entryway
Interiors

There’s something so inviting about decorating an entryway for fall. It’s the first little glimpse of your home, and I love the idea of creating a space that feels warm, collected, and seasonal without going overboard on traditional fall décor. This fall entryway does exactly that with rich earthy tones, layered textures, and a beautiful autumn wreath that brings the entire space to life.

How to Make an Awkward Entryway Feel Beautiful and Intentional

Not every home features a grand foyer. In fact, many entryways have angled ceilings, narrow walls, or unique architectural details that can seem more challenging than inspiring. However, I have discovered that these "awkward" spaces often hold the most potential.
