Think about designing your room in layers. When you are trying to take your home from bare and empty to warm and inviting, the process can feel a bit overwhelming. Tackling one layer at a time can make the task feel more manageable. And if you get stuck on one decision (like paint color), just move on and come back to it later — don't let it paralyze you.The layers:• Rugs, window coverings and paint• Lighting (aim for at least three light sources per room)• Furniture• Soft stuff: cushions, throws and bedding• Finishing touches: art, mirrors, books and plants
