THE COLOR INSPIRATION: TEAL + COOL NEUTRALS

www.abigailamira.com

For this palette, I choose a bright white tulip table.

I laid down a blue-grey rug with some texture to tone down some of the teal hues I will bring in later.

I hung grey drapes that had a subtle texture to them. If you are feeling a bit more bold, you can use a drape with a pattern instead.

I wanted to make the teal feel like the star of the show so I only used it on the dining chairs to pull focus here.

I imagined this room as being on the smaller side so I added a small bar cart to the room for extra storage. I like that it can be moved around while entertaining. You could replace this option with a buffet if you have a larger space.

I like statement chandeliers and this one delivers! I love its modern mid century feel and its oversized presence. 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).

I wanted to give this dining room more personality so I choose three interesting photography pieces for the wall.

I added some table accessories and finally plants! I believe every room needs plants, fresh flowers and/or greenery to add life to the space!

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.

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.

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.
