Creating a beautifully styled space is both an art and a science. It’s about more than just furniture placement—it’s about crafting an environment that feels layered, cohesive, and meaningful. Inspired by the signature looks of designers like Jake Arnold and Amber Lewis, let’s explore how spacial planning, unique pieces, and thoughtful materials can elevate your home.
1. Start with Spacial Planning

The foundation of any well-designed room is thoughtful spacial planning. Begin by considering the room’s layout and purpose. Ask yourself:
How do you want the space to function?
What are the natural pathways and focal points?
Are there architectural features to highlight?
Once you’ve defined the purpose of the room, map out key furniture placements. For instance, anchor a living room with a well-proportioned sofa and layer in other elements like accent chairs, a coffee table, and rugs to define zones. Spacial planning ensures that every piece serves a purpose and that the room flows naturally.
2. Embrace Unique and Statement Pieces

A standout design often incorporates one or two special pieces that define the room. Think an antique console table, a custom dining table crafted from reclaimed wood, or a one-of-a-kind vintage rug. These pieces tell a story and bring character to the space.
Designers like Jake Arnold often incorporate heritage-inspired furniture with a patinaed finish, while Amber Lewis of Amber Interiors frequently leans on vintage textiles and handcrafted accents to add personality. To achieve a similar look, mix old and new—pair a sleek, modern sofa with a timeworn coffee table, or layer in artwork that holds personal meaning.
3. The Power of Texture

When filling out a space, texture is your secret weapon. Think beyond color and focus on the tactile qualities of materials. Natural linen drapes or slipcovers, reclaimed wood furniture, and woven baskets add depth and dimension. Rugs with varied pile heights or patterned textures can ground a space while providing visual interest.
For example, a room styled with a neutral palette becomes warm and inviting when layered with nubby throws, wool rugs, and leather accents. Don’t shy away from contrasting materials—rough-hewn wood against smooth ceramic or soft linen paired with sleek metals creates balance.
4. Thoughtful Layers: The Key to Cohesion

Layering is what transforms a space from good to great. It’s about incorporating different elements—furniture, textiles, art, and lighting—in a way that feels collected over time. Jake Arnold is known for his layered looks that feel rich and curated, while Amber Interiors excels in blending California casual with global influences.
Start with foundational pieces, then layer in decor. Add throws and pillows to seating areas, bring in greenery through plants or branches, and incorporate varied lighting (table lamps, floor lamps, and sconces) to set the mood. Finally, accessorize with books, ceramics, and personal mementos that reflect your story.
5. Material Matters: Wood, Linen, and Natural Touches

Incorporating natural materials like wood and linen is a hallmark of timeless design. Reclaimed wood furniture—perhaps finished with a striking ‘carbon black’ technique—adds warmth and grounding to a space. Linen, whether used for upholstery, curtains, or cushions, offers an organic softness that balances harder elements like stone or metal.
