Happy Sunday!! THIS LOOK IS BACK 👀

I went shopping at Crate & Barrel and spotted 7 NEW home trends for Fall 2026.
We're seeing darker woods, richer colors, more pattern, and traditional details, BUT the organic shapes we've been seeing for the last few years aren't going anywhere.

Crate & Barrel is calling the new direction Modern Heritage, and in today's video I'm showing you what I spotted and how I'd actually use these trends in a real home without replacing everything you already own.

🤎 Modern Heritage
🤍 Organic Modern
✨ A mix of both
Which one are you?

I went shopping at Pottery Barn, West Elm & Arhaus and kept seeing the SAME home trends everywhere. 👀
Brown + blue. Burgundy. Green. Plaid. Patterned furniture. Mixed materials. And traditional details are definitely making a comeback.

Sofa + Accent Chairs- liketk.it/6nIRj

Sectional OR sofa + chairs? 👀

For this version, I went with a sofa and accent chairs instead of a large sectional.

It gives the room a completely different feeling while keeping the same organic modern color palette—warm neutrals, olive green, black and touches of brass.

This is exactly why I like trying 2–3 floor plans before buying furniture.

You may think you know what you want until you actually see the options!

Which do you prefer: SECTIONAL or SOFA + CHAIRS? 👇

OPT 2- liketk.it/6nIRg

L-Shaped Sectional- liketk.it/6nIRg

Same living room. Different floor plan. Which would you choose?

This version uses an L-shaped sectional with a neutral organic modern palette—cream, olive green, warm brass and black.

One of my favorite things about creating floor plans first is seeing just how differently the same room can function depending on the furniture you choose.

And then the mood board helps you see how everything will look together BEFORE you buy it.

Would you choose the sectional layout? 👇

Modular/Chaise Sectional- liketk.it/6nIRh

Would you choose this living room layout? 👀

I created this organic modern living room mood board around a large neutral sectional with warm cream, olive green, black and brass accents.

But here’s the thing…

I would NEVER start by choosing all of this furniture.

The floor plan comes first.

Once I know the furniture sizes and layout actually work in the room, THEN I create the mood board and start sourcing.

What do you think of this one?
YES or NO? 👇

IT’S LIVE! 🎉

Remember the living room with all the doorways and almost nowhere obvious to put the sofa?

I created 3 completely different floor plans to show how I’d solve it — and there’s one layout I would choose.

Watch the new video and then come back and tell me:

Which would you choose — 1, 2 or 3? 👇

And if you struggle with figuring out your own furniture layout, this one is for you. I walk through exactly what I look at before buying the furniture.

If I created an affordable step-by-step mini-course, which would you be MOST interested in?

I'm thinking about creating a small, affordable mini-course that walks you through my actual design process—not a huge course, just something focused and actionable that you can use in your own room. Which would be most helpful?
