Decor 101
Three rules for layering a room.
Decor reads as styling, but it’s mostly composition — scale, repetition, and breathing room. A few rules we use on every project.
01 — Heights
Vary the silhouette
A grouping of three works because the heights step. Same heights look like a lineup. Tall, medium, short — every shelf, every console.
02 — Materials
Mix glass, ceramic, metal, wood
One material everywhere reads cheap, even if each piece is expensive. Repetition of one material per category is the move — never of one material across all of them.
03 — Anchor
One big thing first
A large mirror or piece of art lets the smaller decor read as supporting cast. Anchor the wall, then layer the surface in front.

Buying Guide
Frequently asked questions
How high should I hang art?
Center the artwork at 57 to 60 inches from the floor — that is gallery height, and it works in most rooms. Above a sofa or console, leave 6 to 10 inches between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the frame.
What size mirror do I need over a console?
Aim for a mirror that is about two-thirds the width of the console below it. Width matters more than height — a too-narrow mirror looks marooned. Bring us the console dimensions and we will size it together.
Do you sell original art?
We carry a mix of framed prints, limited editions, and one-of-a-kind works from artists we follow. The original-art selection rotates regularly — visit the showroom to see what is in.
How do I style a coffee table without it looking cluttered?
A reliable formula: one stack of books (3 to 5 max), one sculptural object on top of the stack, one tray with a small vessel and a candle, and one taller piece to vary the height. Less than that feels sparse; more feels busy.
