Good Lighting
Living room with lamps
The most important thing of all is lighting. It should come from lamps, not overhead. So many people forget about it or don't realize the significance of it. Warm, cozy lighting on a dimmer -- always.

Smart Side Tables
Living room with side tables
You wouldn't think of side tables as adding comfort, but they do, because they give everyone in a room a place to put their drink. I think coasters make people feel comfortable, too, because they not only say stay and have a drink, but they remove the worry from guests of wondering if it's safe to put down a glass.

Room for All
Kitchen and kitchen table
I can't life without my kitchen farm table. The table has two built-in drawers, one for flatware and one for napkins, so casual entertaining is a no-hassle event.

Inviting Seating
Living room with plush chairs
Everyone needs a super-cozy chair or chaise that hugs you when you sit on it. A pretty chair is not necessarily a comfortable chair, so a "me" chair is a must.

Piles of Pillows
Detail bed with pillows
I love pillows, generously scaled, plump, full pillows. On a bed, in a chair, perched on a sofa -- I think beautifully finished pillows add a coziness that's easy to layer into a space at little cost.

Plush Bedding
Four poster bed
I would be in such dread without my down comforter with Egyptian cotton duvet. Not only does it look fabulous, but it keeps me so warm and cozy.

Dining Room
Modern dining room
Our dining room table and chairs. We have weekly dinner parties for friends and they always take place around this table, which belonged to my great-grandfather.

Versatile Seating
Living room with red floor pillow
Comfort is all about practicality to me. I love to have extra floor pillows in a room. You can store them in a trunk, but it's nice to use them for extra seating or stacked as a foot rest.

Window Treatments
After: Versatile Decor
The addition of beautifully finished drapes or shades are to a room what a great handbag is to someone's day-to-day dressing: You can certainly function without them, but once you have them, you wonder how you lived without.

Pretty Flowers
Coffee table with floral arrangement
I think flowers make a room feel more comfortable. I'm not talking about big fancy bouquets, but a single peony or rose in a teacup, or fresh herbs in a wine tumbler -- anything that adds fragrance.

Better Bedding
White bedding colorful pillows
My husband and I spent a year in the south of France and one of our favorite pastimes was shopping at the fabulous flea markets. Over the year we purchased a really beautiful collection of hand-embroidered, vintage linen sheets. Slipping into those cool sheets, feeling wrapped up in a beautiful piece of history, is a lovely feeling at the end of the day.

Treasured Accents
Living room with flea market accents
Comfort is surrounding yourself with special things. I love to collect things in a room. This separates a merely decorated room from a fantastic one.

All the Right Pieces
Modern living room red shelf
Billy Baldwin put it best: No room is comfortable until there are things to "sit upon, put upon, and gaze upon."

Back Support
Chair with pillows
The one thing that makes me most physically comfortable is a back pillow. I use them anywhere I can get away with it. Clients don't realize how much they've been missing until they get a nice lumbar pillow and wonder how they ever got along without it!
