Along the way, I\u2019ll show you how I think through decorative accessories, artwork, color, texture, and the small details that always make a room feel finished.<\/p>\n<p>But we\u2019re also talking about something I think is just as important as making a home beautiful\u2014decorating for the way you actually live. I\u2019ll share how I balance beauty with function, think about what I really need from each space, and choose pieces that add personality without making a room feel overly decorated.<\/p>\n<p>And because it\u2019s fall, I\u2019m adding plenty of warmth and coziness\u2014but without filling every surface with seasonal decor. For me, creating that fall feeling is much more about richer colors, natural materials and collected pieces that make home feel especially inviting this time of year.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this video gives you some fresh ideas for your own home and reminds you that sometimes it\u2019s those final, thoughtful layers that make the biggest difference.<\/p>\n<p>IN THIS VIDEO:<br \/>\n\ud83c\udf42 Decorating my newly renovated kitchen<br \/>\n\ud83c\udf42 Cozy living room styling<br \/>\n\ud83c\udf42 My finished mudroom reveal<br \/>\n\ud83c\udf42 How to style decorative accessories without creating clutter<br \/>\n\ud83c\udf42 Using artwork to add layers and personality to shelves<br \/>\n\ud83c\udf42 Layering materials for interest and character<br \/>\n\ud83c\udf42 Decorating beautifully and functionally<br \/>\n\ud83c\udf42 Creating a collected home <\/p>\n<p>I hope you have fun decorating your spaces this season and hopefully get to enjoy some beautiful, cozy days at home!<\/p>\n<p>\ud83e\udd70 Download the FREE \u201cAshley\u2019s House\u201d Guide \ud83d\udc49 https:\/\/ashleychildershome.myflodesk.com\/ashleys-house-guide<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf84\u2764\ufe0f Sign up for Early Access to the 2026 CHRISTMAS COLLECTION HERE! \ud83d\udc49 https:\/\/ashleychildershome.myflodesk.com\/earlyaccessholiday<\/p>\n<p>\ud83e\ude91 GET THE ULTIMATE DESIGNER RESOURCE GUIDE \ud83d\udc49 https:\/\/ashleychilders.com\/collections\/guides\/products\/the-ultimate-resource-guide<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\uddbc\ufe0f Join The Design Fix HERE \ud83d\ude0a  https:\/\/ashleychildershome.com\/the-design-fix<\/p>\n<p>Take the Design Style Quiz HERE! \ud83d\udc49<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/ashleychilders.outgrow.us\/ashleychilders-whats-your-design-style<\/p>\n<p>Get the FREE Ultimate Decorating Answer Guide HERE \ud83d\udc49 https:\/\/ashleychildershome.myflodesk.com\/decorating-answer-guide<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf38 Get my FREE Garden Guide Here! \ud83d\udc49 https:\/\/ashleychildershome.myflodesk.com\/2026-garden-guide<\/p>\n<p>Grab the Designer Styling Guide HERE! \ud83d\udc49 https:\/\/ashleychildershome.myflodesk.com\/designer-styling-guide<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc95 Join my NEW Design Masterclass HERE! \ud83d\udc49 https:\/\/ashleychildershome.com\/interior-design-course<\/p>\n<p>Check out the FREE Paint Guide HERE! \u27a1\ufe0f  https:\/\/ashleychildershome.com\/paint-guide<\/p>\n<p>Check out our FREE Dream Home Project Checklist HERE! \u27a1\ufe0f<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/ashleychildershome.myflodesk.com\/dream-home-checklist<\/p>\n<p>Check out our FREE Lighting Guide HERE! \u27a1\ufe0f<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/ashleychildershome.myflodesk.com\/lighting-guide<\/p>\n<p>*LIKE THIS VIDEO AND SUBSCRIBE FOR WEEKLY DESIGN GOODNESS!* <\/p>\n<p>===================================<\/p>\n<p>\u2728 SHOP the Collection: Designed by Ashley \u2728<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/ashleychilders.com\/<\/p>\n<p>\u2728 SHOP Ashley&#8217;s Amazon Favorites! \u2728<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.amazon.com\/shop\/ashleychildershome<\/p>\n<p>\u2728 Get Inspiration and Designer Tips on the Blog! \u2728<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/ashleychildershome.com\/<\/p>\n<p>====================================<br \/>\nConnect with us! \u2764\ufe0f<br \/>\n====================================<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ashleychildershome\/<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ashleychildershome\/<br \/>\nPinterest:  https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/ashleychildersco\/_saved\/<br \/>\nYouTube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@ashleychilders<br \/>\nShop: https:\/\/ashleychilders.com\/<br \/>\nBlog: https:\/\/ashleychildershome.com\/<\/p>\n<p>Music: Epidemic Music <\/p>\n<p>Work with us: social@ashleychilders.com<\/p>\n<p>Video Chapters<br \/>\n0:00 Beyond Dark Colors: Creating Seasonal Warmth<br \/>\n0:57 The Essential Reset: Clearing Your Surfaces<br \/>\n2:13 Mastering the Glow: Strategic Lighting Tips<br \/>\n3:48 Curating Your Collection: Styling with Purpose<br \/>\n5:08 Wallpaper Wisdom: Adding Depth to Niches<br \/>\n6:16 Focusing on the Focal Point: Styling the Hutch<br \/>\n8:03 Unexpected Kitchen Charm: Lamps on Countertops<br \/>\n9:09 Embracing a Cohesive Color Palette<br \/>\n10:22 The Secret to Layered Styling: Mixing Materials<br \/>\n11:59 Elevate Your Decor with Risers and Easels<br \/>\n16:15 Connecting Spaces: Family Room Styling<br \/>\n18:15 The Jewel Box: Mudroom Reveal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visit https:\/\/wildgrain.com\/ashleychilders and use code \u201cashleychilders\u201d at checkout to receive $30 your first box + free croissants for life!
