An early-fall refresh for a New England coastal-inspired living room: soft linen, warm wood and a throw within reach.
Start with the room you have. Watch the daylight at different times, move a chair to a comfortable reading spot, and leave an easy route between seats. Then try one textile change using something you already own.
Window direction matters: the U.S. Department of Energy notes that east- and west-facing windows can bring excess heat and glare.
