"A couple of things immediately stand out about Peter Spalding’s Portland home. First there’s the windows: An expansive, twelve-foot-long picture window in the living room transforms nearly an entire wall into a portal for natural light.

Boucle fabric became a fan favorite earlier this year, and other textured fabrics are following suit. “People will continue to bring in more textures through fabrics and accessories,” Kelly McDougall, interior architectural designer at Kelly McDougall Design, says. “Think: boucle fabrics, nubby accent pillows, and woven woods.”

“Portlanders are not very serious in terms of aesthetics,” he says. “If you show them something really fancy, that’s not very interesting to them. But if you can figure out how to give it a little bit of an accent, then suddenly they’re pretty excited to engage with it.”

"One of the easiest fixes is to bring color and texture to a space with pillows. "Do it seasonally," suggests Tiffany. Discount stores are good sources for trendy tone-on-tone textured pillows for sofas, bedrooms, window seats or anywhere, she adds. You can even pile pillows in a basket to add color to a room. Don't forget to pull them out and use them when you want to."

The Spruce

"Consider designing an in-law suite that is attached to the main home but only via the outside, designer Mark Stewart suggests. "This is especially important if the homeowner keeps a different schedule from the guest or works from home, and doesn’t want them using the main entrance while they are asleep or trying to focus..."
